Barack & Michelle Obama do 60 Minutes

Well, I think it's time to thaw out the old blog. Like J. mentioned, it's frozen in a pretty awesome moment, but time marches on and the Obama presidency is too historic not to continue blogging about.

Tonight Barack and Michelle Obama did an interview with 60 Minutes. In the midst of a major economic depression, listening to the president-elect and the first lady discuss what kind of puppy to get for their children and whether or not to move Mrs. Obama's mother in to the White House was a hopeful reminder that the Obama's could relate to the American people. Michelle Obama razzing her husband for never doing the dishes and the pictures of Barack Obama's dinky Washington DC apartment seem to further seal the deal.

The tone of the interview was light hearted and fun. For those who didn't vote for Obama, I think they would have a difficult time denying the charm of this man and his young family.
