What they said.

Besides, how much is a few containers of food coloring?

When acquired through proper acquisition procedures for the federal government:

$2,463,109.02

You know, people are just going to have to adjust to having an unpretentious family in the White House. They are a young family, with small children, and they're keeping it real. I admire the hell out of them for that. Bush Jr. was just another example of turd polishing, and it didn't work. The Obamas could easily put on airs and pull it off- they are attractive, highly educated and articulate, but they have the good sense to try and keep a semblance of normalcy in a crazy situation, and their family will be all the better for it. I think the country will as well.

What she said!

(And as for the greening of the fountains... I think it's kinda cool. I also like seeing anti-Obama people's heads explode over something so trivial.)

If I get to see him Thursday, should I submit a question about undoing DOMA or about green fountain holidays?

Area 51. Definitely.

Ask him about the dog.

Well, trivial as it is, I'm going to have to disagree with this rationale. I think the fountains can be defended as a harmless gesture for the public's enjoyment. However, if Bush or Cheney had spent public money on green fountains for the private amusement of the small children in their family, I doubt it would have played as well here.

I'm starting to regret not trying to get in to see Obama tomorrow. He'll be 5 minutes away from my office.

Hopefully I'll at least get a peak at the motorcade.
