...payoffs haven't been bad. During the August crisis in the Caucasus, Chancellor Angela Merkel sounded as if she might welcome Georgia and the Ukraine into NATO soon.

...part of the Obamas' appeal is their refusal to harp on their exceptionality, their emphasis (repeated to Kroft like a mantra) on giving their daughters a "normal" life. It's only fitting that Malia and Sasha are big fans of Hannah Montana (on which they were offered but haven't accepted a cameo): the Miley Cyrus show is a fantasy about a girl celebrity with a secret life as an ordinary...

...basketball court and a bunch of free weights. Then their dining hall only had chalk to eat, and they apparently make them eat at desks! (How do you eat like that?) These Yalies even stooped so low as to send some of their goons (presumably from New Haven Community College...or WAIT, isn’t that Yale?!) dressed in HUPD costumes to chase us down.
