Wii in the White House

by

obama8As the inauguration was taking place, The White House staff was busy moving the First Family into their new home at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Apparently on the of the items moved was a Nintendo Wii.

The Obamas bought their daughters - Sasha and Malia - a Wii console over the Christmas season. The Wii was set up in the family room of the White House.

Wii bowling seems to be a favorite with many Wii owners, but when you have a bowling alley in your home, how can the video game compete? But there are plenty of other games that are available for the Wii that would be perfect for the Obamas. With their workout ethic, Wii Fit might be a good choice on those days that it’s just impossible to make it to the gym.

So, which games for the Wii would you recommend for the First Family?

    I certainly would rather be bowling in the bowling alley than play it on the Wii. There are some fun things on the Wii (Animal Crossing, WarioWare Smooth Moves, Cooking Mama, Wild Earth African Safari), but honestly if I had that kind of access to a bowling alley that is where I would be a lot. That and the pool.

    :) That would be fun. You know Clinton played the sax. It would be really awesome if Obama was a gamer.
