Busu la Rais Obama uwanjani



Caught on camera: The crowd at the Verizon Center cheered when the First Couple were on the Kiss Cam
Barack Obama took a break from campaigning on Monday night - but still managed to stir up a crowd at an exhibition game for the U.S. basketball team.

The President raised a cheer when he kissed his wife Michelle while the couple was being filmed on the Kiss Cam during an interval in the match-up between the American Olympic team and Brazil's players.

But for Mr Obama, a keen basketball fan, the highlight of the night was presumably to get a close look at superstars of the sport, such as LeBron James and Kobe Bryant, working together for an 80-69 win.

Monday night gave Mr Obama a chance to soak in his favorite sport.

After a quick ride to the Verizon Center from the White House, Mr Obama greeted members of the U.S. women's basketball team on a practice court after their win over Brazil in the first game.


The President and Michelle even appeared on 'Kiss Cam,' the in-house video that spotlights kissing couples during a game break. 

The Obamas would not oblige during the first half, despite roars and some boos from the crowd.

But in the fourth quarter, Kiss Cam peered back on the first couple and the President was ready: 

he put his arm around his wife and planted a big kiss on the First Lady as the crowd roared.
