The Perks of the Presidency
A clip of Barack Obama's first trip aboard Air Force One is online. (He took the flight before he was inaugurated yesterday, though, which is why you'll hear him described as "president-elect.") What will you learn about the most powerful man in the world if you spend two minutes watching the video? That he likes his burgers cooked medium-well, topped with cheddar cheese, Dijon mustard, lettuce, and tomato, and accompanied by French fries. When Obama puts on 30 pounds during the first few months of his presidency, now you'll know why. [AHT]
