Dreams

Should your source of news be the Whinydad Chronicle, you are to be pitied.

However, if this is it, then it is our duty to note that Illinois Senator Barack Obama will move daughters Malia and Sasha (Natasha) and their puppy into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue on January 20, 2009, after having been elected president of the United States. The girls will now get the chance to make history as so many other "first" children have. [Earlier: Puppy Promise]

If you wish to profit from the news, you can certainly join the person behind this week's objet d'eBay, a signed first edition of President-elect Obama's memoir, Dreams from My Father. Auctions abound for signed copies of the 1995 and 2004 editions (note the difference if you are buying as an investment).

It's a true pleasure to see that a dad's signature on something other than a check for paying bills or an allowance means so much to so many.
