During the annual Easter Egg Roll event, President Barack Obama only waved the crowd when the sound system broke down. While the presenter did a little mime act to entertain the audience, Obama made the crowd laugh as he leaned over and spoke into the big ears of a gigantic Easter bunny standing beside him.
Singer Fergie was the one who started the event with her take on the American National Anthem. The president was with his wife, Michelle, and Vice President Joe Biden with his wife, Jill, as well.
When the sound system was fixed, Obama addressed the people by saying that the event “'reminds us that this is the people's house.” The first lady also exclaimed, “Our goal today is just to have fun. We want to focus on activity, healthy eating. We've got Easter Egg decorating, we've got basketball, we've got soccer. We want everybody to think about moving their bodies.”
Malia and Sasha, on the other hand, joined the egg-rolling competition together with other children.
