Barack Obama Endorses Kamala Harris for President

In a surprise to no one, former President Barack Obama and his wife, Michelle Obama, endorsed Vice President Kamala Harris for president today. 

Reaching the candidate by phone, the former first lady told Harris, "This is going to be historic." President Obama then chimed in to say, "We called to say Michelle and I couldn't be prouder to endorse you and to do everything we can to get you through this election and into the Oval Office."

Harris thanked the Obamas, before going on to say: "I just want to tell you the words you have spoken and the friendship you have given over all these years mean more than I can express, so thank you both. It means so much -- and we're going to have some fun with this too, aren't we?"

Obamas Lease $4.3 Million Home in Tony D.C. Neighborhood

Get a load of the Obamas' post-First Family digs, in the wealthy Kalorama neighborhood of Washington. (My best friend down there, Ken, used to live on California Street and it was the most gorgeous area I've ever seen!) The house features nine bedrooms, an exercise room, and even a butler's pantry. (Can I please come for a visit, Michelle?!) I believe they're leasing because they're only staying in the capital until Sasha graduates from high school. See the whole spread HERE.

Prince Ginger Visits White House to Get Obamas' Support for Invictus Games

Prince Harry visited Washington yesterday to launch the 2016 Invictus Games for wounded veterans, being held in the U.S. for first time. Prince Ginger received warm support from President Obama -- who met him for first time and said: "He has gotten to know Michelle very well, for a range of reasons, but in particular, he’s here to talk about the Invictus Games, an initiative that is bringing together wounded warriors around the world, under the leadership of Prince Harry and others, to make sure that we see not simply the sacrifices they’ve made, but also the incredible contributions, strength and courage they continue to display. 'And so we are very glad to support the Invictus Games. Michelle and myself are interested in promoting it."
