They have to eat anyway! It is a really good reward to campaign workers. No way could the Mittwit and Queen Ann pull this off.

What a great way to meet and talk with ordinary people from all walks of life. Even if he sat down with 4 or 5 people/couples once a month that would be close to 100 people each year sampled from around the country.

That's the sort of thing we are NEVER going to hear them talking about because they don't want to underline that the girls can't really attend public school given the security issues, but as a Quaker myself, I would love to hear what they think about Quaker values and Quaker education.

But I would probably cry through the whole dinner just from excitement, so I'd probably be a bad selection (although I have donated in order to try to go to dinner)

I'm fully behind the Obama/Biden ticket, and his statements in the video are what I expect. But I was kind of shocked to hear his reaction to the cell phone issue is exactly the same as mine. We have two daughters and my wife is all set to get them phones, so that really hit home.

What a great couple. What a great President and First Lady.
