First family in Cuba.

A bit overcome. Just seeing them as a family. Our gracious, elegant President, introducing his lovely wife. And oh, those girls... Such classy, yet grounded, in many ways universal, representatives of our culture.

So classy, as he introduces Michelle and each of the girls to welcoming dignitaries.

I also have to say that is such a heartbreaking commentary on the current state of our species, that the girls have to ride in a separate car. How do they explain that to the girls?

What genuine, good people. We should all aspire to be like them. Just what leaders should be. Role models. Alas...

1. I'm going to get increasingly depressed about Obama leaving...

by January I'll be a mess. I can't stand to see him go. I will miss him so...

4. I think the girls are now old enough to understand it.

I am grateful that the Secret Service has taken such good care. I have been afraid for 7 years every time he steps out in the public.

5. I think it is a really wise choice of Pres Obama's

to stay in DC after the election of the next Pres. I know it is so that Sasha can finish in the same school, but we are going to need him there. No matter who is elected.

7. I think he is a great president and history will be very kind to him.

I have supported him since his senator days. It will be weird to not have him in politics. I will be sad to see him leave as well.

8. I agree -

VERY kind.

13. YW, still looking. I only get rabbit-ear tv, so rely on the net for news, info ...

and entertainment (Walking Dead!). So far, on my local stations, nada. They will usually only have short blurbs at 6pm news.

I love that the gramma is always there, too. That's what a strong family unit looks like!
