...friends regularly tease me about how sweet I like coffee, yet I find myself judging those with tastes even more indulgent than mine—O ye lowly disciples of the white chocolate mocha and bottled Starbucks Frappuccino!

...specter of isolation. Most Presidents have a significant other when it comes to policy. Bush Junior had Cheney; Clinton had Hillary; Bush the Elder had James Baker; Nixon had Kissinger. Obama's conservative critics poke fun at his overweening ego, but I suspect that the President's need to find an alter ego, an intellectual equal - in addition to the First Lady - who can challenge his decisions and demeanor (in private, with the bark off), is the biggest adjustment he has to make...
