When the U.S. Olympic gymnastic team visited the White House last week, McKayla Maroney, the U.S. Olympic gymnast who won the silver medal during the London Games, posed for a picture with President Obama in the Oval Office. Both of them were sporting her signature look that launched a thousand memes. This time, McKayla was impressed:

Earlier this week President Obama launched his Asia tour with visits in Bankok Thailand, Myanmar and Cambodia where he attended the East Asia Summit. He was received with open arms, at least on Twitter:
