Change of Plans

It looks like I was a bit premature in announcing Katie's plans for a career in music the other day.  President Obama called yesterday and asked her to come to Washington to help push his health care plan through Congress.  She agreed.  The two have been friendly since Katie worked as an advisor on children's issues for the President's 2008 campaign.  Below is a photograph of an appearance they made together at a graduation ceremony in May 2009.  The President used the occasion to make a major speech on education.  Katie basically wrote the speech for him.  Don't ask me how this is possible, since at the time she was a fetus.  Suffice it to say that our daughter is a truly remarkable little girl.
