Thursday into Friday, my head cold got worse, so on Friday morning I walked down to a bar-cafe-restaurant in my neighborhood .
the president arrived, 40 minutes later stepping out of his SUV, smiling, with a little wave
. He picked up the baby. The babys mom told him about the baby . He was adorable. Obama really seemed to appreciate holding him, and bounced him for probably a minute. The babys mom told him that their family had just been stationed in Kenya, that thats where the baby was born.
He seemed to stumble for a second, as he realized he could not phrase a joke in exactly the way he could phrase it in private.
Thats, thats where Donald Trump thinks I was born, he said.

He'll probably be a teacher, Secretary of State, or Chairman of the Federation of Planets someday and that picture will be on his desk.
I have a serious kid. Often had that "Well, this is interesting..." look.
Straight "A" student with college scholarships too.
