    President Barack Obama jokingly mimics U.S. Olympic gymnast McKayla Maroney's 'not impressed' expression while greeting members of the 2012 U.S. Olympic gymnastics teams in the Oval Office, Nov. 15, at the White House in Washington, D.C. Maroney's expression became an internet sensation when during the ceremony for her 2012 Olympic vault silver medal she was photographed giving a brief look of disappointment with her lips pursed to the side. Steve Penny, USA Gymnastics President, and Savannah Vinsant laugh at left.

    Read the full story about the U.S. Olympic gymnastics team visit to the White House.

    Nice to see a Prez who isn't afraid to be silly once in a while. On other websites I've seen plenty of negative comments from conservatives about this photo. Wish they had a sense of humor. More than enough things to be serious about.
