It’s not so much that President Obama orders a hamburger as his first meal on Air Force One that is so endearing, it’s how he orders it. It’s clear that he doesn’t know how this all works, but he treats everyone on board with respect and dignity. It is this same graciousness that will define his presidency. And, that gives me hope. Okay, it’s a little bit about what he ordered. C’mon, he orders a salad AND fries! He’s so extraordinary and yet so everyday. I think that he’s an excellent role model “for kids these days” in how to interact with people in way that is respectful without losing any of his own strength. And, it’s these little moments that will show them how to be this way even more than the grander moments of the Inauguration.
