and Obama would make a great First Gentleman. This family is so cute, we must find a way to keep them around for another eight years.

I don't think I could have done it and not looked nearly as "jolly" as Santa and Mrs. Obama did.

I would love to be a Santa when I get older and get more white/gray in my hair. I'd be one of the ones with the real beard. That has to be a very fulfilling experience.

Her interaction with these kids(and Bo & Sunny) at the Children's NMC, when reading "Twas The Night Before Christmas", is a shining example.

She is more than wonderful. You can't fake the sort of compassion that is so evident on her face as she's hugging the little girl in #3. Remember Pickle's awkward hugs when she & Bar were visiting Katrina victims? That was cringe-worthy, and absolutely no comparison to this warm, wonderful woman.

You are spot on!

Thank you, Simply put Bo & Sunny brought warm fuzzes. The First Lady, brought that too and compassion that came from her soul.
