1. She's impressive - their mom must have been so proud of her kids. nt

2. Thanks for this. I've tried to explain to people what kind of impact I think Obama's upbringing...

... in Hawai'i had on him, but this says it better than I because it comes from the heart of his family.

I hope that somewhere their mother knows, with joy, what great adults her kids have become.

3. Between Maya and Michelle

well....they've got Barack's back and I'm pretty sure he listens well to them. The two most important adult women in his life are incredible assets to him. Hope they play visible roles in his administration.
