Mr. Obama is the first since Richard M. Nixon to be elected while living in a urban neighborhood, and Mr. Nixon soon sold his New York City apartment and retreated during his presidency to exclusive getaways in Florida and California. Mr. Obama, by contrast, is expected to keep his Chicago home."<BR/><BR/>Stay in Hyde Park! You too can become one of Obama's dubious, liberal neighbors! You can get your hair cut by his suspiciously un-American-named barber! (At least before he moves to DC and, in the immortal words of Dolly Parton in "Steel Magnolias," becomes a chain.)PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7321349.post-37770416758288420392008-11-14T11:37:00.000-08:002008-11-14T11:37:00.000-08:00Untag everything.

(Answer I wanted to give, "He was an asshole and I'd been hoping they'd break up for years"; answer I gave, "Well, you know, they were growing apart"; answer my friend would have killed me for giving, "He was a Stalinist and she's more of a Trotskyite.")PGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09381347581328622706noreply@blogger.com
