The White House has released a series of ‘Intimate Pictures of Obama’s Big Day’. They can be found at the U.K. Daily News Online. I’ll also put the link in the blogroll (down there on the left…) The pictures are charming – they reinforce our image of the Obama family as regular Americans. I’m volunteering. I’m donating. I’m working really hard. I’ve got my fingers crossed. A girl is entitled to her dreams!
Theodore Roosevelt wrote: ‘It’s not the critic who counts’. His was an ode to the man who does, rather than to the man who sits idly by. Well, Mr. Roosevelt didn’t live in the 21st century, surrounded by 24-hour news media, where ‘multi-tasking’ has evolved past being a Corporate America catch-phrase and is now a life strategy for frazzled soccer moms. We don't have much 'sitting idly' time, and what little we have must be used wisely!
