Children in Newport.. first things first, she!

And, looking good and healthy.. and as you pointed out.. looking directly into the lass's eyes to listen to what she has to say.

Mahalo for posting that pic of PM Cameron, President Obama, and the Woman in Uniform in front of the class..

did at Martha's Vineyard, when he was supposedly "on vacation". I wish he could go off the grid for at least TWO weeks; sleep, fatten up, and leave Joe to take care of the world. What could possibly be wrong with that?
