Obama Takes the Girls For Frozen Custard (OK, I know, I know - but I like it) [View All]

On the eve of Father's Day, the First Father showed how it's done, taking his daughters Malia and Sasha for some frozen treats at The Dairy Godmother, a boutique custard parlor in Alexandria.

President Obama and his girls motorcaded over to Alexandria from the White House this afternoon. Malia had a waffle cone of vanilla custard and Sasha had her vanilla custard in a cup. The president enjoyed a cup of vanilla custard with hot fudge and toasted almonds, a pool reporter was told by the shopkeeper. The three were in the shop for about 15 minutes, where they sat at a table to enjoy their snacks.

As they left, the trio received applause from the staff and customers inside and a small crowd outside. Carrying a bag of frozen "puppy pops" for the First Dog, Bo, Obama waved to the crowd before stepping into his SUV for the short jaunt back to the White House. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/44/?hpid=topnews

I know he has more important things to do than take his daughters for frozen custard and "puppy pops" for Bo. But as a Dad and dog owner myself, I can't think of many on a Saturday night before Father's Day.

Plus, I like the bold move for hot fudge and toasted almonds. Be that bold on health care, Mr. President!
