Ahhhhhhmerica

Yesterday, Barack Obama showed up in Washington to meet with Pres. Bush and measure the drapes in his new office. Working just a block from the White House, a few colleagues and I went to observe with stony faces (being the hardened political operatives we are) as his motorcade went by.

He didn't pop out the sunroof-- it wasn't even entirely clear which speeding limo he was in-- but it gave me a little thrill nonetheless to know that Barack is in the House.

And moments after he went by, the sun came out from behind a cloud. Literally.
