My latest political theory

[kellinator]

Political affiliation aside, Americans in general seem most comfortable when they have a First Lady they can respect and a Vice President they can make fun of.

*This theory brought about by memories of my own childhood under Bush 41, this article, and a conversation James and I had after Jimmy Fallon made the joke "They lit the first candle on the menorah at the White House tonight, then Joe Biden blew it out and made a wish":

James: Is Joe Biden really that stupid?
Me: No, everyone's just so relieved that the Vice President is back to being a genial goof instead of Darth Cheney.

Sometimes I'm so astounded by how happy I am about the current administration that I find myself dumbfounded that we made it through the former ones.
I completely never knew what it was like to have a president that was such a gifted oratist and stratetician, a first lady whom I actually respect, and a vice president I'm not scared of.

Totally OT, and probably only good to make you shudder here, but I didn't have any other way to get in touch with you and I can't handle being the only one who is burdened with the knowledge...PP stalked me down on Facebook last week and let me know that he has spawned. Well, in theory anyway. His message said that it was due on Easter. I'm not willing to actually reply to find anything out but I thought it may be good for a chuckle.
