Last night to prepare for this historic day our family discussed a little politics, a bit of history, some social issues and found a few random facts about Barack Obama.
Did you know:
- His favorite meal is wife Michelle’s shrimp linguini
- He plans to install a basketball court in the White House grounds
- He drives a Ford Escape Hybrid, having ditched his gas-guzzling Chrysler 300 SUV
- He promised Michelle he would quit smoking before running for president – he didn’t
- He is left-handed – the sixth post-war president to be left-handed
- He has his hair cut once a week by his Chicago barber, Zariff, who charges $21
- His favorite artist is Pablo Picasso
We all seem to have plenty of ideas of what President Obama should do once he’s sworn into office:
And of course we talked about Martin Luther King Jr. and the significance of these two historical figures.
Happy Presidential Inauguration day!
Ah….out of the mouths of babes! Clone soldiers and less school :)! That IS change….
I loved this post. Love the ideas for Obama’s first actions.
It was such a great discussion for the whole family when we did our FHE and this is just such an exciting day!
I love the thoughts of little ones.
My 3 year old told me that she was supposed to have “Brock BAMA” at her school today. WOW, she is lucky!
I liked the kids suggestions. I agree with a lot of them. I gave you an award. Check out my Monday blog. You are terrific with lots of great ideas. You deserve many awards!
What a great activity! I think my favorite ideas are: tractor beams, less school hours and soldier clones — was that Jack’s?
Have a happy day!

Hey, thanks so much for stopping by!
I really like the “Do not shoot people or kill people”! Ha hahaha! Thats too funny!
All the answers were great, what a fun activity!
This post is awesome. “Tell people not to litter” and “Invent a tank with tractor beam”. If he would employ a cabinet of elementary kids this country could make a rapid turn around.
You’re a very good mother.

Wow-a weekly haircut, eh?
I’ll be honest, there’s something to be said for a man whose favorite meal is cooked by his wife. And the wife who will make it for him. 🙂
Beautiful blog. Love it.
DROIDS!
And he smokes huh?
Love these ideas. Wish I had seen these a couple weeks ago.
Adorable blog by the way, thanks for visiting mine!
