Awesome




I just watched a 2 hour special on C-span (who I believe only runs specials) on the White House. The building of, the burning of, the remodeling of by Truman, the first bath tub installed, the cross country garage- sale- seeking by the Kennedy's to find and bring back alot of the presidential memorabilia sold off over the years, the security after the Oklahoma bombings to cut off the vehicle traffic - and the tighter security after 9-11 - to Prez Bush and Obama walking the portico from 'home' to work. The private quarters were shown and I envisioned Malia and Natasha running the hallways and listening to The Jonas Brothers on their Ipods in the solarium (built by the Coolidges).
An awesome special - it's on again at 6:00 tonight and I may have to watch it again - so much to see! And feel.
So much of our hard earned history- and our future.
