5 Yr. Old's Commentary on the State of the Nation Speech
M's running commentary before it got started:
M: Michelle Obama, poppa! Look, it's Michelle Obama!
***
M: Poppa, where do you think Sasha and Malia are? Do you think they might come out with Barack Obama, with their dad?
Me: No, sweetie, I think they're at home tonight.
M: Nah, you're proabably right, they're probably with a sitter.
***
M: Poppa, look! There's Barack Obama! Hi, Barack Obama! Look, poppa! Why did he just kiss that woman?
***
M
(pulling up her stuffed chair to in front of the TV): Why is he shaking
everybody's hand? I couldn't clap that long, my hands would hurt.
M: Barack Obama just waved to me! Hi, Barack Obama!
***
M: Poppa, is our Vice President Joe Biden?
Me: Yep, there he is in the background, with the blue tie.
M: Oh, hey, there he is, there's our Vice President Joe Biden! Hi, Joe Biden! How do you spell Joe?
Me: J*O*E
M: J*O*E And how do you spell Biden?
Me: B*I*D*E*N
M:
B*I*D*E*N (then I hear her whispering Joe Biden, and spelling it out,
once, twice, three times) I love Joe Biden, he looks cool. Why does it
look like he's sleeping?
Me: He's not, sweetie, he's just looking down.
M: Oh, it looks like his eyes are closed. He looks like he's sleeping.
***
M: Who's the woman in the green shirt?
Me: Nancy Palosi
M: Nancy Palosi? (says "Nancy Palosi" to her self) That's a funny name. Nancy Palosi.
***
M: She claps fast. What's her name again?
Me: Nancy Palosi.
M: Nancy Palosi. I giggle every time I say her name. Nancy Palosi. She claps faster than Joe Biden.

I think it's pretty cool how smart she is. Kids are little sponges. Very few things go unnoticed.
Hugs and kisses from the Lee family.
