Khloe & President Obama MEET

We were always told that President Obama was a man of the people.

We never thought we'd say it, but we've spotted Khloe Kardashian hanging out in the White House with her new pal Barack.

Khloe was in the East Room at the White House for a ceremony honouring the Los Angeles Lakers 2008-2009 NBA basketball champions.

The Keeping Up With The Kardashians star is married to Lakers forward Lamar Odom.

We wonder if Obama will be keeping in touch with his new acquaintance?

Obama's call for more options comes as his own ambassador in Afghanistan, Karl Eikenberry, voiced strong misgivings about a US troop increase, centered on a concern that bolstering the American presence in Afghanistan could make the country more reliant on the US, not less.
