Last mainstream Saturday news really bugged me. Every major newspaper outlet covered the date night of President and Mrs. Obama. Really? Is there nothing more important in the world to cover? Gosh. And the angle was so stupid. Instead of being excited that we actually have a politician who loves his wife and takes her out, we complained about how much it was costing us, $81,000. Now, I think $81,000 on one night is ridiculous. No disagreements. But I really like what Chaya had to say.
"Oh, please," said Chaya Kennedy, a 31-year-old office manager who is divorced, but ever hopeful. "Would we rather he'd be like other politicians and spend it on a prostitute? At least he spent it on his wife."
Good point Chaya. Good point.
I do not agree with many policies and such that President Obama is attempting to implement politically, but I respect any man who loves his wife and family and expresses it. I think he is a great example for the American people in this respect.
Hence my favorite coverage of the evening is here.

I, too, am confused over the infatuation with the Obamas as a family. And to put Michelle on the list of top 100 most beautiful people is the most extreme brown-nosing to date (someone wanted a luncheon invite)!
I hope that the president remains loyal and loving to his family members--America really needs that example!
I find it highly entertaining that our president is such a celebrity. Part of me is happy that America has a president they like (for the most part), and the other part of me just wants everyone to GET OVER IT.
What's killing me now is the press that Jon and Kate are getting. I can't believe I keep seeing them on the tabloid covers and E! news. Is ridiculous.
