Biggest Headline of 2009: Obamas in the Food World Spotlight

YumSugar — Tue, 08 Dec 2009 05:50:04 -0800

We knew it'd be a big year for President Barack Obama and his wife Michelle. But there's no way we would have predicted the extent to which they would become involved in America's growing culinary culture and increasing food politics. Not only did the first couple set an extraordinary example of how the nation should eat healthy and local, but every single bite, it seems - from a cheeseburger lunch in Arlington, VA, to barbecued chicken in the White House on Father's Day - seemed to be deemed worthy of national news and attention. Regardless of how you feel about the Obamas' year in the food spotlight, they certainly garnered plenty of attention.

7 Games to Work Your Brain

GeekSugar — Wed, 16 Sep 2009 13:05:01 -0700

In case you missed it, President Obama spoke directly to school children last week, asking them to stay in school and study up for the future. I thought the speech was inspiring, but he did kind of diss my beloved video games. Obama asked the youth of America to not "spend every waking hour in front of the TV or with the Xbox." This could be sound advice, except for the fact that there are plenty of brain-challenging games out there to improve your coordination, smarts, and problem-solving skills. Everything in moderation, people! Check out a few of my favorites here.

Take an Obama-Inspired Budget Vacation

SavvySugar — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 08:30:41 -0700

The first family is headed West this week for an outdoorsy vacation featuring some of the country's most beautiful national parks. It's not going to be all animals and nature for the Obamas because the president will be working along the way, but anyone can follow the family's example and take a budget-friendly vacation to one or more of the many national parks in the US.

Agents of Change: Obama Awards Medals of Freedom

TresSugar — Thu, 30 Jul 2009 16:19:48 -0700

Today, President Obama announced that he will bestow the Presidential Medal of Freedom on 16 people, living and dead, "chosen for their work as agents of change." The honorees, well known figures in politics, theater, science, and beyond, "have blazed trails and broken down barriers."

The Presidential Medal of Freedom has a recent controversial past. George W. Bush awarded the medal to three people within his administration who helped run the Iraq War, and also bestowed the honor on Rep. Henry Hyde of Illinois, who authored an amendment banning public funding of abortions.

As for Obama's honorees, here are some of the highlights. Enjoy!
