Reading The Pictures: Honeymoon Plus

How big a figure did Obama cut on 60 Minutes Sunday night? Well, watching anybody else that close up would probably give you vertigo.

What was choice was watching Steve Kroft in the give-and-(mostly)-take regarding the dog and the mother-in-law. Even better, though -- given the intensity of the honeymoon (and the warmth and gentle ribbing between Barack and Michelle) -- was the choice of sponsor.

What continually strikes me with Obama is his authenticity...he's the real deal. There's nothing artificial about him whatsoever. I watch his face when he talks about the country and it is so full of genuine hope and vision that I just want to support him. The Obamas are so much like all of us with concerns for our children and their well-being. I love the down-to-earth stories about the beat up car and the Washington apartment. Barack & Michelle have obviously forged out a strong bond for themselves. It's a pleasure to watch the entire family.

I saw the interview and I have to say it is impressive that he does not show fear. Thank goodness! I too enjoyed the gentle ribbing between the Obama's. The car story was the best to me because I had a friend with a Flintstones car too and seeing the road beneath my feet scared the heck out of me but he was so cool I road in his car again and again.
