You haven't seen President Obama until you've seen him computer-generated by your PlayStation.
If your team wins the Super Bowl in the upcoming Madden NFL 11 video game, you earn the honor of a visit to the White House, complete with an Obama photo op moment.
Watch (Obama appears at the 1:56 mark):

Either Virtual POTUS is losing weight or he needs a better tailor for his shirts.

There's also an easter egg of Virtual Joe Biden saying "this is a big effing deal."

I'd be curious to know what happens if you win the Super Bowl in Dynasty Mode say... 5 years from now... Do they stick with Obama? Do they show President Pawlenty and Vice President Jindal welcoming you to the White House? Do they let you pick your party affiliation when you start playing and take it from there?

The White House animation only plays for Super Bowl XLV. Assuming Obama stays alive and healthy between now and February 2011, all is well.

I'd really rather not know this. Makes me think the White House p.r. machine is so desperate they are digging for inspiration in Alvin Greene's suggestion that the unemployed can be put to work with jobs making action figures of Alvin Greene. Pitiful.

I must have missed the part where it said they had his permission or approval. And I specifically looked for it.

It has nothing to do with the White House.
This is all part of EA's efforts to create a more "substantial" reward/ending for the game by recreating what happens in real life - if a professional sports team wins a championship, where do they end up, eventually, for the mother of all photo-ops?
Unless a person is angered by the fact that in real life this happens, this is just another nontroversy in a long list of nontroversies involving President Obama.
The White House, with the president.
It is nothing more nor less than that.

In 2010 and today's technology, that's the best they can do? This virtual Obama looks like he is twenty something years old.

It's EA Sports. They don't do "realistic".

Absolutely awesome. Is this sequence exclusive to the PS3, or do Xbox gamers get this too? Definitely buying this game!

I just joined this site and I'm a bit surprised there isn't more daily coverage of Obama. Specifically, I cant believe that people are not rioting in the streets because he used taxpayer money to go onto The View to try and bolster his falling ratings. Am I the only person that sees this and feels this way?? This POTUS spends way to much time being a celebrity and not enough time trying to solve the country's problems.
