Yes I noticed that as well another good example for the American people.

Hmmmmmmm..............wonder what dead people would look like in a photo ID?

(Course they're all Democrats. Probably wouldn't look much different than they do alive........rim shot).

[tommix2]

and the American media is too dense to notice.....I believe our young people are noticing and that this president and his wife are wonderful role models.

[cubreporter]

You betcha. :) We need more like them and...she looked abosolutely glowing.

I think the different hair style makes Laura look younger as well

[cubreporter]

Oh, didn't know that.

[snugs]

My pleasure

[pollyannaish]

LOL. I've been following your conversation and when you said that the visual picture I got was baskets and baskets full of pictures of Robert Byrd. ; p

[hoosiermama]

Well guess we solved that problem of the world!

NEXT?

I think so too, tom. Badly needed role models, I might add.

So few kids grow up seeing this kind of loving, committed relationship. I think there are many reasons why God chose this President to lead us right now, and his marriage to his lovely wife is one of them.

I have been following politics for a long time, since FDR's second term .. newspaper .. newsreels ...

I suspect that there was an earlier shift in technology that benefited FDR -- radio, which he used for his fireside chats. The Government went from being some small, far away group of politicians that one read about in the paper, to a friendly reassuring voice in your living room.

Then twenty years later, television came along, to further confuse the difference between the Federal government and a good neighbor. This led to a half century of the greatest expansion of government power in our history.

I think you may well be right after all he did mention him in the speech.

[ohioWfan]

KKK Bobby! Of COURSE that's what they'd look like! :)

Glad you checked in Kate have been thinking of you this evening and was just about to send you a freep before I turned in and then saw you had posted.

Hope things are settling down a bit

President Kennedy had Addison's disease. That was a potentially fatal disease then, and it was a very well kept secret, even from most of the media, I think.

[cubreporter]

Yes, she looks very sweet in it and has a cute look.

To respond to your main point, yes the internet, kicked off by a rebirth in talk radio, is providing a powerful antidote to the lure of overly trusting big government.

The dominance by the three big networks, a couple of papers and the three newsweeklies is being broken.

Not a moment too soon.

"W" loves children (The seem to be magnetic for him) Almost Biblical. I imagine he and little John have had some "interesting" conversations.

WOnder if the children got to attend the luncheon as well?

[snugs]

I think the Internet has changed many things and not just politics.

Here I am in England able to communicate "live" with people in different countries at the same time and look at the same photos and TV footage. Quite remarkable how things have such a long way in a few short years.

[pollyannaish]

This is just a guess, but I bet he has quite a natural connection with children of famous political parents.
