Kings of pain

The mayor of Sacramento on Tuesday introduced the first part of his four-step plan to keep the California city's NBA franchise from decamping to Seattle.

The claim was later walked back, but Obama critics contended that the alleged fake performance calls the legitimacy of his presidency into question.

It was a glittering scene Monday at the Commander in Chief's Ball in Washington, as Jennifer Hudson serenaded the president and first lady as they twirled across the dance floor to "Let's Stay Together."
