But tries again anyway

President Barack Obama and his First Lady Michelle got caught on the 'kiss cam' last night while at the Olympic men's exhibition basketball game between Team USA and Brazil.

The Verizon Center crowd in Washington cheered loudly when the couple appeared on the screen, but just as quickly booed when Michelle rejected POTUS' advance after he put his arm around her and gave her nudge.

Instead, she just nervously grinned until the camera panned away.

Relentless as ever though, Barack gave it another shot when late in the second half, during a stop in play, the couple's image was beamed on the scoreboard screen again.

This time, prompted by their 14-year-old daughter Malia who was seated next to them saying "Now, go! Go, now!," Michelle obliged and received two smooches - one on the mouth, and another on the forehead.

And the crowd roared.

They also chanted "Four more years!"
