President Barack Obama attempted the splits with the United States' Olympic gymnastics team at the White House on Thursday. Hundreds of Olympic athletes clad in red Nike track jackets squeezed into the East Room of the White House as rainy weather forced the reception indoors.
"I want you to know that I was going to do, like, a floor routine on the way out with Simone," he joked in front of the Olympic and Paralympic teams. "But we decided it was a little too crowded." "And he can't touch his toes," First Lady Michelle Obama mentioned.
"And I can't touch my toes," he admitted as guests laughed.
President Obama praised Team USA for winning 46 gold medals and for making the United States the first country in 40 years to top the medal chart in every category.
