Obama: "It’s been a while since I had a burrito bowl—and it was good . . . I just walked over to Chipotles for lunch. I caused a lot of havoc"

A snippet of a sequel from the Obama diary..

President Obama & The First Lady Champion Working Families



Robin Roberts and First Lady Michelle Obama at the White House Summit on Working Families

[font color=blue]Marlei Martinez: Obama Seeks ‘Good, Strong, Healthy Families’[/font]

"President Barack Obama is encouraging Congress and the country to focus on issues here at home — namely how to improve the livelihoods of working families.Here are the five things we learned from our sitdown with the President: 1. The goal of the summit is … “… to lift up the conversation that everybody is already having individually and let people know you’re not alone out here,” Obama said. Priority one: Paid family leave According to a survey from the United Nations’ labor agency, of the 185 countries and territories with readily available information, only three do not provide paid maternity leave. And, you guessed it, the United States made that list. The other two countries are Oman and Papua New Guinea. “Paid family leave, we’re the only advanced country on Earth that doesn’t have it,” the President said. “It doesn’t make any sense. There are a lot of countries that are a lot poorer than we are that also have it.”

Much MOre..
