Michelle Obama in Moscow. Sasha the new Agent 99
cute little suntimes article:

Remember the tv show "Get Smart" and how Barbara Feldon played Agent 99? In Moscow, President Obama does. First Lady Michelle Obama, daughters Malia, 11 and Sasha, 8, mom Marian Robinson and godmother, Eleanor Kaye Wilson are along for the official visits to Russia, Italy and Ghana.

Asked by ABC's Jake Tapper if Sasha and Malia were having fun in Moscow, Obama noted the trenchcoats worn by his girls and dubbed Sasha the new "Agent 99"-

"You know they're great travelers. Sasha was walking down one of the halls of the Kremlin yesterday. She had her trench coat on, had her pockets in her trench coat. We called her Agent 99, she just looked like she knew where she was going. I thought she was going to pull out her shoe phone," Obama said.

1. How fun to travel with the girls..
to Russia and the G8 Summit..trenchcoats and all! So historically educational and the Obamas are all about education.

2. Anyone ever notice......
.... how many times we see these folks laughing and smiling in these candid shots?













Early in the campaign, I worried a little bit about Sasha. A lot of the pictures you'd see of her she had this little frown as if to say, "who are you camera man and why do you keep bothering me and my daddy?" And I wondered how the changes in her life might affect her.

I've often said that, on election day, "we did a far greater thing than we've ever done before..." and usually that's in reference to history or society as a whole.

But one of the things we did benefited only two little girls.....



We brought their daddy home.
