3. With Obama I get the feeling that he takes

The saying, "A little nonsense now and then/Is relished by the wisest men," to heart. He's got to be one of the more serious presidents in that he's as much a policy wonk as Clinton was, and I think he works harder than any president in my lifetime.

I'll attribute the quote to Gene Wilder's Willy Wonka though it probably comes from somewhere else.

And speaking of Wonka, only he and Michelle could pull of wearing orange, yellow, and purple.

6. So true! You know what he reminds me of?

George Bailey, the character played by Jimmy Stewart in It's a Wonderful Life. Silly, funny, serious, smart, kind, sincere, honest, caring, a family man, and very much in love.

4. I wonder if that's the Secret Service in that bunny costume! LOL!

The push ups remind me of JFK and the fitness program. I was in school and they had us all doing those along with sit-ups and calisthenics everyday. It was great.
