Who is the couple you most admire? Right now I think it is the Obamas. They
look like they are the best of friends and have lots of laughs. In second place? Nelson Mandela and Graça Machel... a love story for the ages.

7. I have to agree with that...
Did you see "The Man from Plains?" They're obviously devoted and understand each other... :)

9. Yes...
It chronicles his 2007 book tour for his book, "Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid." He was amazing, and I became even more of an admirer than I was already. It was directed by Jonathan Demme. Rosalynn was in it, too, of course... :hi:

2. Hate to post it, because I'm not really the biggest fan of their work, but

I have to go with Bill and Hillary. There are few power couples more devoted to each other and to each other's goals. I don't agree with every decision they've ever made politically, but I have to admire and respect the fact that they've always had each other's backs, effectively and sincerely enough to remain married this many years. I also love the fact that no matter how dicey things got for them WRT our political situation, I never felt that they had anything but love and devotion for their daughter and for the difficult job that was parenting her.

4. Count me as a Bill and Hillary fan, as well!
I think it's amazing how they have managed to conduct themselves publicly with dignity, especially with all that they've been through. And I love the fact that they have raised an amazing and responsible young woman in Chelsea.
