I am a bit of a Scrabble nut, so it pleases me to know that the Obamas play Scrabble.
This story was broken two years ago, in a list of things you didn't know about Barack Obama:
I happened across a recent political cartoon with Scrabble in it:
The artist did enough research, at least, to know that the Scrabble board is 15 by 15 and starts in the center square (the E in economy). But would it be so hard to spend the $10 and get a real Scrabble set? It would then become clear that a standard set has only one K, two W's and four S's rather than the two, three, and five pictured, respectively. Also, this looks nothing like a real game, with all four visible triple word scores assiduously avoided. For shame!

8. He loves playing Scrabble.Apparently Barack's family is quite intense into the Scrabble, according to Michelle Obama:
Robin Roberts: Is there any kind of Obama family vacation traditions or--Sounds like a holiday vacation at an Andresen residence, with Katie occasionally walking away from the madness!
Michelle Obama: There can be mean games of Scrabble. He and his sister Maya, oh, they are deadly. In fact, sometimes we all just walk away and let them, you know, compete into the night.
