Barack Obama puts family first ahead of White House summit by taking kids to school

[DogPoundPup]

For a man tasked with changing the world and the way we see it, Barack Obama is making an effort to maintain a semblance of normality in his family life in the week after his historic election victory.

Although he is due to make his first visit to the White House as President-elect later today to meet George W Bush Mr Obama still found time this morning to make the school-run with daughters Malia, 10, and Sasha, seven, at their school in Chicago.

Pictured in the dark blue joggers and cap in which he has made his security-flanked trips to the gym this week, Mr Obama was seen helping his girls out of the car, before giving them a kiss and sending them on their way to school.

Whether they can concentrate on their classes with the questions over the future First Puppy on the lips of the whole world and his dog (literally), remains to be seen.

In between choosing his administration and planning to avert economic armageddon, Mr Obama found time to spend three hours at dinner with wife Michelle in their favourite restaurant in Chicago on Saturday night, as a couple who have made no secret of their tenderness and closeness throughout the election campaign.

1. Look at the great example he sets:

He shows how important it is to be a great dad.. that nothing is more important then family

He shows that no matter what else you have going on.. it's important for your health to work out. If the president of the United States (elect) can squeeze in an hour every day to work out... so can you!

Woot!
