What better way to celebrate a dominant opening to group play at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London than with a hug from the first lady of the United States?
After the final buzzer of their 98-71 win over France on Sunday, members of the U.S. men's national basketball team shook hands with their vanquished opposition, gathered at center court for a brief cheer, then walked off the court to a rousing ovation from the fans at the Basketball Arena in London.

Boy do I miss the grace that Laura Bush showed back in the good ol’ days.
Yes. and Yes. Far easier for the network to shill for politicians than to do any real investigative reporting (”journalism”).
This is why we turned our boobtoob off.
and that female skeet shooter took a gold with 99/100. having shot skeet that is beyond impressive.
olympic professional dream teams are a joke.

I wouldn’t want to get my ear that close to all of those teeth. She might pull a Mike Tyson.
By the way, were all the white boys, I only saw one and the coach.
Another thing, Professional ball players don’t belong in the Olympics.
Har!

“By the way, were all the white boys, I only saw one and the coach.”
can someone explain to me why no one has ever filed a reverse discrimination complaint against the NBA and the NFL for not having the requisite percentage of caucasians on their teams?
“It” just couldn’t resist an excuse to spend taxpayer money overseas.
“It” is as large as those Basketball Players. “It” should be on the court helping the USA Team...would fit right in with the rest of the players.
How much is this gig gonna cost the US TAxpayer????????
They are the closest she’s been to a man in a while.
Eeeeuuuuuuuuuuuu!

It’s nice to see Michelle having another one of those “proud to be an American” moments.
Let’s hope she doesn’t mouth “All this for a Flag?” during the Awards Ceremony if the US gets the Gold.
That's the equivalent of putting a sow's ear in a silk purse.
In this case it's just a pig in a silk jacket.
Exactly, Marie Antoinette was more frugal than this first lady.
