Yes, He Can

Eyes are peeled and invites would be golden tickets for the ultimate selfie. When the annoucement that Barack Obama was due to visit The Rock came last week, instant clamouring began in society circles to shore up even the most fleeting of chances to share audience with the charismatic and first black President of the United States.

Here’s what we know: Obama, currently in his second term as the 44th president of the North American republic, is due to arrive on April 9 for official state matters.

What we’re hoping: Classy, chic and super-fit First Lady Michelle Obama will accompany her hubby.

As exact details of the visiting prez’s itinerary remain cloaked in administrative secrecy, SO eagerly awaits Air Force One’s touchdown on local soil and, until then, shares a photo retrospective of the many facees of Obama — as doting father, sport lover, and Commander-in-Chief.
