Our Romantic President

By Jeralyn

Props to President Obama for taking Michelle out on a romantic date to New York last night.

It was exciting not just for the Obamas, but for the New Yorkers who got to view them, the restaurant chef and staff who served them, the diners in the restaurant who applauded as they left, the actors in the Broadway show they attended --- and the one that struck me the most, the surprised guy sitting next to Obama at the play.

"I couldn't think for the first 10 minutes of the show because the president was sitting right to me," said seatmate Lloyd Lederkramer.

The Obamas also got a standing ovation from the audience at the show.

I think it's great we have such a popular president and first lady -- it's been a very long time. (And to the grinchy Republicans out there who are griping about cost, the Obamas paid for their show tickets and dinner. Who paid all those times Bush flew to his ranch in Crawford? Do you think Bush would have told America he was foregoing his vacation to Crawford because GM was filing for bankruptcy? )
