A Surprise

Leaving tomorrow, but we had to let you know that we were on a conference call with the DNC this morning.  They were explaining to us all the ins and outs of living through this experience and how it all will work and........President Elect Obama came on the line and talked to all of us!  He was telling us about taking the girls to the Lincoln Memorial a few days ago.  As they were reading the inaugural speeches of the various presidents his older daughter said to him, "You're the first African American President to do this.  It had better be good!"  So, he said he was under a lot of pressure.  He really is the most gracious person and thanked everyone for making it possible to put on this great big party.  A nice bonus moment.

  1. Did you have a chance to ask him what the girls were going to wear?

  2. Very, very, very cool of Obama to do that. Very cool indeed. Then again, I would not expect anything less....He is the epitome of COOL.
