Last night I watched Barack and Michelle on Barbara Walters.
I had actually rushed home from some last-minute shopping and, since I've seen Obama give ten trillion interviews over the last two years, I kept asking myself why I even needed to watch this particular one.
But of course...it's different now! Since he really is going to be president. And as always, watching him talk about the challenges we face, with his trademark reassuring calm, I felt ever THAT more thankful that we really got this guy elected. And thankful that I live in a country like this one.
Also the interview was terrific. Michelle joined him midway and was as warm and funny and refreshing as she always is -- and I'm thankful for her as well!
In case you missed it, ABC news did not post the interview online (which is a bizarre choice) but the whole thing is up on the Youtubes! Parts 2-6 below the fold.
