doing something so riveting when they leave our White House that there will still be a need for The Obama Diary, which I have been reading daily since 2009!
That's when Chips started it because there were those on DU that were so jealous of the President.. they couldn't stand that she posted a photo-journal of his Admin.
It was an Awesome Silver Lining!

First Lady Michelle Obama told People magazine that her family has decided to adopt a Portuguese water dog, pointing to the breed’s medium-sized and good-natured reputation. The breed is also hypoallergenic — a must, given daughter Malia’s allergy to dogs.
