1. I agree.

Geez, how unique it is to have a prez with class and real, easygoing charm.

[movonne]

4. Ditto

[alsame]

[Pharaoh]

[liberal N proud]

7. Oh I hope so

I hope every bu$h voter was watching. And I hope they see what a true President Obama appears to be.

11. Nah, he is drinking and eating pretzels at the moment

His own annual "stupor bowl" party.

3. one of his best interviews ever. nm

[Pirate Smile]

6. I swear he wears that same check shirt every time he is doing something where

he doesn't need to be dressed in a suit. That shirt or the black polo.

I think that is why Michelle and the girls laugh at the idea of him being a fashion icon. I think it is really about how he looks good in whatever he wears - which he does. :D

LOL

The interview was great.

Too funny!!

14. The troops were cracking up when Lauer pointed out he was cut out of the picture on

the cover of "Us Magazine" and he said something like, "Yeah, for Jessica Simpson who has a weight issue apparently" (since that's what it said under her picture).

19. I love to hear him speak

He seems extremely grounded.

One thing made me wince though, but it could be nothing. It would seem to me that the Secret Service would not like the identity of their agents more exposed than they have to, and the reference to the son of one of them struck me as possibly being out of bounds. However well meant it was. Or is that just me thinking there is way more cloak and daggers going on there than there really is?
