“In the West Wing, Mr. Obama is a bit of a wanderer. When Mr. Bush wanted to see a member of his staff, the aide was summoned to the Oval Office. But Mr. Obama tends to roam the halls; one day last week, he turned up in the office of his press secretary, Robert Gibbs, who was in the unfortunate position of having his feet up on the desk when the boss walked in.” I love these little details, the behind the scenes stuff. Then again, The West Wing is my favorite show to ever air on television.
The “fireside chat” of the 21st century. I love it, and I’m really glad to see the innovation from Obama’s campaign carry over into his presidency. Everyone loves a good horse race, but it’s the governing that brings about the change. I hope things like this keep people’s interest, even just a little, in what can be a pretty arduous process.
“He plans to install a basketball court in the White House grounds” Great list.
The next President of the United States.
