I was hoping he'd get some rest this weekend!

After appearing here, Obama traveled to a rally in northern Virginia's D.C. suburbs, then headed back to his hometown of Chicago to take the weekend off. He's looking forward to "a date" tonight with his wife, Michelle, a round of golf on Saturday ("the best I can do is the low 80s," Obama said) and a bike ride with his children on Sunday.


Not that he is expecting it to be entirely relaxing. On Saturday night, Obama will face a challenge familiar to many American parents: Eight 7-year-olds are due at his house for a birthday sleepover in honor of his daughter, Sasha.

"These kids are planning to make pizza so who knows what our kitchen will look like," Obama said. "They shouldn't call these sleepovers. They should call them wake-overs."

I bet he's training those little kids at the sleepover to be Marxists! :D

1. Sasha deserves a puppy for her birthday .

2. Oh what a cute picture!

Hope he's only letting them make mini pizzas. I used to have my pre-schoolers do that, and it wasn't too bad.

4. It's important that he is rested

Candidates who are tired and exhausted make gaffes and screwups on the campaign trail.

5. I had a sleepover once. We stayed up all night running around outside (my dad had to make us come

in the house). Then we tried to levitate each other (where one person lies down prone and 8 surround them - put their hands underneath them and repeat "as light as a feather, as stiff as a board" then raise the prone person off the ground. My dad had to come all the way down to the basement to get us to stop that too. Then I think we actually got some sleep.

I'm sure Obama will have as much fun.

6. I remember an 8th grade sleepover best.

We all went swimming late at night and decided to go skinny dipping. While we were eating breakfast the next day, my Dad comes up from the basement with the bra that had gotten stuck in the pool filter in his hand. He proceeds to say to me "Who's is this? It looks a little too big to be yours." :blush: I about died. :D

7. That is hillarious.

9. Ha!

It's just those kind of funny things that stick in your head!

I bet Barack is a fun Daddy!

12. I bet he is too!

It's pretty funny now but I was mortified at the time. Almost as good as the time they gave me the "What's Happening to Your Body Book for Girls" in front of my friends. Although we all read the crap out of that book that night. :rofl:

8. So he takes a little time off from the campaign to be a Dad..Don't fault him!

[PylesMalfunction]

11. I'm not faulting him in the slightest bit.

Note the ;) in my post. :) I'm glad he's getting some family time. Those are the kind of family values I like to see.

10. Great. He looked and sounded

a bit tired last night. I hope he doesn't work TOO hard training those little Marxists. ;-)

13. Tiring, true

But it's a different class of tiring - the kind that is satisfying in a very personal way.
