I like the idea that there is going to be a family living in the white house.

The last President to take office with small children in his family was John F. Kennedy. That was part of the romance and beauty of the era which people call "Camelot". My mother says that back then when they used to show film clips and stuff with John and Carolyn running around the White House lawns that people felt like they were America's children. Politicians say that th country is based upon the American family unit. So I feel that it is appropriate that there should be a young family in the home and at the helm of the United States, regardless of their color. I think that a lot of people feel like the Obama's are in it with them, trying to raise a family and grow together at the same time. They can identify with the family as our first family more readily when the President and his wife have kids around their own childrens age.
