Of course everyone wants some face time with Barack Obama this week. But what are delegations from 46 countries looking for when they arrive? Money, respect, weapons, and more help hiding "secret" nuclear arsenals. [Foreign Policy, pic: Getty]

George Stephanapoulos had an exclusive with a very exhausted President this morning, who was faced with a barrage of critiques from probably his two least favorite people in the world.

The President and First Lady will appear on the show's "Idol Gives Back" charity fundraiser next Wednesday, to benefit Save the Children and others. Ryan Seacrest can't contain himself! [Fox News]

President Obama and Russian President Medvedev just signed a landmark new arms control treaty. Now, it's up to the United States Senate—the world's greatest deliberative body—to ratify it. All it takes is 67 votes.

President Obama and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev signed a new nuclear arms treaty today in Prague. Medvedev called it a "win-win" situation. [BBC]

Last month, the magazine's in-house prick Bill Kristol used Napoleon to describe Obama's health care victory. Now it's Gary Andres, who compares the Democratic Party to a tainted Tylenol of the 1980s. Who is tampering with the Democrats' package?

Justin Bieber (#Justin #Bieber #JustinBieber) has forgiven the president of the United States for mispronouncing his name. The conciliatory statement should stave off a Wild In the Streets sort of situation... for now.

President Barack Obama has personally ordered the assassination of a U.S. citizen. Yep! The C.I.A. is authorized to kill cleric Anwar al-Awlaki wherever and whenever they find him. At home, on vacation, maybe right behind you. Crypto-fascists are thrilled!

A new study about sexual habits and a memoir continue the nation's obsession with the former Commanding Member-in-Chief. It caused one of the great national scandals of our day, but it is time to give the old boy a rest.

Health Care: Have It Your Way?

This should go over well with the right. Obama today will announce a new nuclear strategy, which says the US cannot obliterate another country with doomsday weapons unless they have them, too, and no new nukes will be developed. [NYT]

President Obama threw out the first pitch at today's Washington Nationals home opener. All the jokes, they are obvious. Like: his pitch went way left. ("I was intentionally walking the guy," Obama joked.) Obama has been so sporty lately!

Ah, the tea-baggers! America's latest crazy political offshoot group—and, thanks to a growing number of celebrity members, the most entertaining one, too. Here, we showcase the most popular and outstandingly ridiculous celebrity tea baggers.

President Obama played a game of HORSE with CBS basketball announcer—and former NBA first-round draft pick—Clark Kellogg last week. How'd the President do? And how was his trash talk? Watch the video.

Are you sitting down? This may come as a shock. On his Census, the president checked the box for "Black, African Am., or Negro." Multiracial people can check more than one box, but he did not. [NYT]

In your proxy Friday media column: MSNBC's David Shuster shot a pilot for CNN, Barack Obama demands (metaphorical!) oral sex from reporters, Smithsonian magazine stiffs a war-damaged correspondent, and losing just $80 million means you're Publisher of the Year.

Happy Census Day! The government hopes you've already sent in your 2010 census form. (Census Day should've been before the due date though, right?) Even the president had to. But some people are scared of getting counted by the government.

Joe Biden's health reform-related hot mic gaffe—"This is a big fucking deal"—appears to have inspired a t-shirt for sale on BarackObama.com. Unless the undisclosed abbreviation stands for something else entirely, of course. Like Biden's Flying Dinosaur.

Tonight on The Daily Show, Jon Stewart took a few minutes to comment on how, immediately following the passage of the health care reform bill, President Obama's balls grew three sizes that day—and hilariously reviewed his post-victory actions.
