Michelle Obama rules out running for office

Click HERE

I like this anecdote:
"Offering a peek inside the Obamas' eight years of life at the White House, she said her daughters Sasha, 15, and Malia, 18, can now open their windows - something they were not allowed to do at the official presidential residence."

Useful as an opening/closing BANG!...note how to have safety, they need to give up their freedom to do what they like....the White House is a sanctuary, but it is also a prison.
Reminds me of the cartoon where Tweety the bird stays inside the cage so that it can be safe from Sylvester the Cat. The cage which protects Tweety, is also exactly that -- a cage, a prison.

Think of how we have to cede some of our privacy and freedom to the state these days in order that we may be safe from terrorists....
