I'm not going to scrutinize every word and gesture of the Obamas' interview for hidden meanings, but my husband turned to me after watching it and said, "I just don't believe this." What a concept, having a president who seems more concerned with making sure Americans understand things clearly than with spinning them, and someone who--for all the talk about his arrogance from the blowhards--actually sounds humbled by the office. I don't know if we're ever going to get used to it.
But we laughed aloud to hear him mention Harold's Chicken Shack. Man, I miss Hyde Park, and I worry that it will never be the same now that it's suddenly being described as hip and trendy, rather than where hell freezes over.
