Sasha and Malia started school yesterday. Here's a photo:
Not to repeat myself, but the more I see of the Obamas as a family, the more I can relate to them. For me, that's unusual, since I rarely feel an affinity with the insanely rich and/or powerful. I certainly can't recall a time when I felt like I had something in common with a politician, much less a President of the United States.
Am I right? Are the Obamas as "normal" as they seem? By "normal" I don't mean "heterosexual with two kids", I mean "dealing with things that many of us deal with, like young, independent children who go to school." Both parents seem involved, more so than some families I know. It could all be an act, but if it is, it's a really good one, because I’m as cynical as they come and I'm convinced.
Either way, those kids really are cute.
Whether you voted for Obama or not – and I'd be especially curious to hear from anyone who didn't vote Democrat in the recent election – do you like what you see of the Obamas as parents?
