POTUS

Yes Rachel, I do feel a little like we're living the West Wing. Watching the 60 Minutes interview tonight, I got to thinking how nice it will be to have a president that isn't embarrassing. I also really liked that Michelle Obama kept interrupting him when he trailed off or wasn't getting to the point quickly. I hope she keeps doing that.

I am also enjoying all the news stories about normal people transitioning to White House life. It's been awhile since we've had a new president, and even longer since the new president's family were normal-ish people, so perhaps this is standard practice journalism and I just don't remember. For example, I had never given this transition issue any thought until now.

I am completely intrigued by the whole thing. And I love that Michelle wears pants.

I gazed at the West Wing photo for awhile. I love those people.
