They are used to Chicago winters...now that is cold!

I don't know, at one point it looked like she needed to use the bathroom. She kept grabbing her tummy. My sister and I were thinking they should have a porta potty for the first lady. Everytime she leaned over to say something to Barack we were laughing thinking I bet she's telling him "I have to go so bad!" haha

Bless her heart, she's a trooper for sure.

I know I would have had to take some Imodium if I had a long day like that LOL

LMAO Jim said the same thing!

my first thought was why go there then I thought yeah not a bad idea lol

ok sort of on/off topic

where does the vice president reside? where ever they want? on the south 40 of the white house grounds?

Number One Observatory Circle, on the grounds of the United States Naval Observatory at 34th Street and Massachusetts Avenue NW (about one mile northeast of Georgetown University).

LOL...we could just drop in!

far nicer and more private than the White House.... I used to commute by each at past points in my lifetime.
Rockefeller [Nelson], A veep in his own right [forget which administration] put in his own money to have that place updated and up to standards of the '70's
I'ts just been maintained since. But it's a pretty place, and quiet by DC standards...
Onwards tho, things have been essentially peaceful and gracious.... what more could we ask for?
Promises for the future are just that - unless WE make them so. And, It's up to US! However and wherever we can.
's to all - j

Pepsi had a thing to send Pres a message I sent him a congrats stick to your plans and help this country regain its morals and respect, I respect you.

Deb and I are watching the balls, he is so articulate when he speaks, I have not had this much optimism in a new president in a real long time,

Did anyone by chance catch Bushes farewell speech from Midlands Texas, talk about so relieved so relaxed looking and he was funny and had a real smile on his face, all the stress was gone from his face.

I dont want their job no way no how

That's true Debbie. Thank you for mentioning that in your post. My entire family made contributions to the inauguration celebration online at President Obama's website.

You know........ I volunteered at his local campaign office and I honestly have to say, there has never been a candidate in my adult lifetime that has inspired me in such a way.

Congratulations President Barack Obama, and thank you!!
