During last night's State of the Union address, President Barack Obama referenced a woman named Kathy Proctor, a mother of two and former factory worker earning a degree in biotechnology. In the most epic modesty fail we've ever seen, Proctor, who was sitting in the audience, excitedly blabbed to everyone around her that she was the woman in question.
President Barack Obama is already a man of many talents, and he showed us a new one Thursday night: singing.
Pop music and politics are far from strange bedfellows, from country musician Kinky Friedman's famous unsuccessful run for Texas Governor to Herman Cain's incessant quoting of the theme from 'Pokemon 2000: The Movie'. This crossover, between Lady Gaga and Pres. Barack Obama, however, will be stuck in our heads for quite some time.
When most folks pose with Presidents they get wowed by the moment and just stand their grinning -- like Mr. Smiley over here on the right.

Obama count by shoving his little fingers into the Commander-in-Chief's mouth.
Now here's some fun holiday news. President Barack Obama shops at Best Buy and PetSmart... just like us!

Sure, it may not have been as memorable as Marilyn Monroe's serenade to John F. Kennedy in 1962, but Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Hudson still helped President Barack Obama celebrate the big 5-0 in style Wednesday night at a star-studded party in Chicago.
With all of Neil Patrick Harris' experience hosting awards shows, the actor certainly seems capable of an improvised joke. But while meeting Barack Obama, Harris choked and made a remark that wasn't well-received by the president, he said on 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.'
Harris said he got rattled when it came time to meet the Commander-in-Chief. "You turn around a curtain and there's the frigging President of the United States. And you quickly panic," he said.
