Tonight I plan on waxing poetic on how great it feels to hang out in the kiddie pool and why I can’t imagine any other place in the world where you can get your camels blessed and opine on current events. [mumble , grumble] I still haven’t decided what I am going to talk about, and I’ll try not to whine about the fact that I was promised the job of Teacher’s Pet and the keys to a Lexus. Anywho. Where was I? Oh! This diary stuff is hard. Bill deserves every penny he gets. There is not one day that goes by that Bill doesn't teach me something.[she tips an imaginary glass of rum and Coke]
I decided to write this diary in the form that I write all of my Cheers and Jeers...

President Harry S. Truman famously said:

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

As Progressives, we believe that a President has to govern all of the people, and that includes the smallest ones. I decided to examine in photos how the campaigners for the highest job in America, are doing with our most precious asset—our future. So follow me below the squiggly for a tongue-in-cheek photo diary of President Obama kissing babies.

Melanie in IA said something the other day that I think is profound:

"Waiting for the President, like waiting for C&J in the morning... we are all eager for it, our bright shiny faces, anticipating..."

Anyone who knows me knows that:
1. I love pictures.
2. I love Festivals/Parades/Celebrations/Gatherings.
Anyone who doesn’t like the notion of a nonsensical diary on a political website should take this opportunity to find something else to read. The rest of y’all, *Laissez les bon temps rouler!

I came to Daily Kos by reading over someone’s shoulder. I lurked for a long time until I wandered into a diary called Cheers and Jeers. I decided then that I needed to create an account. I loved to watch the madcap antics of tnichlsn, Texas Blue Dot and Phil N Deblanc; it reminded me of my own naughty 3 brothers. It wasn’t long before a whole cast of characters, full of witty banter, had grown up around me. Now I can look at pictures of pooties and grandchildren with wild abandon and full recognition. I wake up every morning eager to see y’alls faces. I have an encyclopedic knowledge of all of your triumphs and tribulations because of one person: Bill in Portland Maine. So this, my very first diary, is about Bill in Portland Maine. More importantly, it is a fundraiser. You see, I like my snark fresh. Daily. And the thought of Bill not being there to bless the camels for my birthday or to welcome a newbie to the pool is just downright... scary. Ghoulish. So I thought I would fashion a love letter, a thank you note. But enough about me...
