I don't know about you, but I'm not the kind of person who can lay my clothes out the night before in order to get dressed more quickly in the morning. And it isn't because I'm not organized--it's because, well, hell, even though that red sweater seemed like a good idea at 7 last night, I just might not be feeling the "red" in the morning, you know

You know, I don't think there's been much that's manufactured that we all wouldn't see through. I think that who they are is so spontaneous and so unaffected that there isn't much that's been posed.

I was watching a program last night where Pete Souza, the official photographer for the Obama family throughout the campaign and while they are in the White House, was being interviewed. What his photographs capture is the Obama that I, and probably you, believe that he is. Working, kissing his kids, interacting with Michelle and David Axelrod and folks on the road during the campaign. And most of them are candid shots--and what we're seeing, from what I can see in those photographs, is absolutely authentic.

They are private people, and while in some ways they are open and inviting, they do value their privacy as well. But I think that they've been very successful so far in finding the balance between the two. And for all their privacy, I don't see them as aloof--not in the way the Bushs were aloof.

I love the president elect, but it would probably be Michelle that I'd be friends with! ;-)
