Yesterday, Khloe Kardashian got to go to the White House and meet Pres. Obama. It was all part of Obama’s honoring of this year’s NBA champs, the LA Lakers. Lamar Odom is a Laker, and many of the men invited their wives or girlfriends to the short ceremony. Pres. Obama not only did a photo-op with the players (having received a Laker Jersey with his name on it), but he also went around shaking the hands of all of the wives and girlfriends. So, basically, Khloe got to meet the president because she got sort of fake married to Lamar Odom.
There are lots of photos of the great meeting of the minds (Obama and Kardashian), some of which you can see here, but WENN also had these great photos too. Personally, I like that Khloe seems a little nervous and awed. Yeah, Khloe. It’s not like meeting Ryan Seacrest or something. You’re meeting the president!
Mrs. Kardashian Odom went to Washington — and shook hands with the leader of the free world.
That’s right: Khloe Kardashian Odom escorted husband Lamar Odom to the White House on Monday. Odom’s Los Angeles Lakers were invited to visit to celebrate their 2009 NBA championship, and Kardashian, 25, went along for the historic day.
“Yay! Heading to DC to meet my baby!!!” Kardashian Tweeted Sunday afternoon.
Inside the White House, President Barack Obama posed for a photo with the entire team as Kobe Bryant presented him with an Lakers jersey (labeled “Obama #1).
Obama then moved on to shake hands with seated guests — including Bryant’s wife Vaness Bryant and, Kardashian.
The basketball players and their dates then enjoyed a tour of the presidential grounds.
The reality star could barely contain her excitement after the big moment. “Such an amazing day!” Khloe Tweeted. “I just meet [sic] Obama with my husband! :)”
Khloe’s big sister Kim might have the chance to hang with Obama as well — if her boyfriend Reggie Bush wins the Super Bowl with the New Orleans Saints, that is.

Just judging from the photos, it seems like Pres. Obama knows who Khloe is, which I don’t know how I feel about. They both seem very gracious towards each other, although I would have liked the photos better if Khloe had been standing (when the president stands, everyone stands), but I think Khloe was probably following protocol for this particular meet-and-greet, considering all of the wives and girlfriends seem to be seated. All in all, a good day for Khloe. Lets see how her passive-aggressive sisters try to one-up her. Maybe Kim will begin an affair with Pres Sarkozy?

WTF color is that on her face?? Benjamin Moore #47…St. Tropez Crunch from the heirloom collection of colors. Looks like what we used to stain the deck last summer.
That’s a look of eventual recognition, not awe.
“Oh! Wait! I know who you are!”
LOL @ Black Kat, too true! And it looks spackled on.
If she were just going on her own, I’d be pissed at the WH for allowing someone like her to do that, but I think it’s pretty much standard practice for champion teams & families to go. Too bad they don’t have some disclaimer for publicity marriages.
I have to laugh at Kaiser’s comment about Kim having to upstage her – she probably will try! So gross.
Khloe is the most down to Earth of all of the girls. I like her.
I would really love it if she got a new haircut though. She’d be very cute with some sort of flirty bangs.

I cant stop laughing….!!! A good one to lighten up my stressed day.
Ellen you are so funny about eventual recognition! LOL and I used to think Khloe was the down-to-earth one but now that she married Mr. Money Bags she seems different like a self-indulged child, at least on the show she does. Whining about wanting to have babies tomorrow, what about the kids he already has. And Kobe in the White House is disgusting. I don’t feel sorry for the girl in that rape case one bit, but nasty people don’t deserve to meet the President. Why wasn’t I invited? I am much better then Kobe and that husband-stealing JHO.
Nonononono! That’s K-hole’s subtle makeup. It’s Sherwin Williams.
And another thing. Why do basketball stars get honored at the White House? They haven’t done anything special to deserve the President’s attention. I know this is a tradition but it needs to stop. these are overpaid people who sleep around – they are not heroes in any way, shape, or form.
It isn’t necessary to stand for The President in my opinion…
He’s not a king.
Khloe is my fav, Kourtney is the bitch!
Kim I feel sorry for because people wont let her live down the sex tape. She dont drink or drug….I just dont understand why people dog on her. And Khloe, I think , is kinda pretty, but do agree she needs a hair style.
in that close up shot you can tell that she wears all that makeup because she has really bad skin. but she’s definitely the most interesting of the sisters, she’s the only one with a personaility
