Barack Obama Does Parade Magazine January 2009


President Elect Barack Obama and his family graces the January 2009 cover of Parade Magazine.  The magazine asks Barak to tell the magazine what he wants for his children.  Barak decided to write the following very personal letter to them:

Dear Malia and Sasha,

I know that you’ve both had a lot of fun these last two years on the campaign trail, going to picnics and parades and state fairs, eating all sorts of junk food your mother and I probably shouldn’t have let you have. But I also know that it hasn’t always been easy for you and Mom, and that as excited as you both are about that new puppy, it doesn’t make up for all the time we’ve been apart. I know how much I’ve missed these past two years, and today I want to tell you a little more about why I decided to take our family on this journey.

When I was a young man, I thought life was all about me-about how I’d make my way in the world, become successful, and get the things I want. But then the two of you came into my world with all your curiosity and mischief and those smiles that never fail to fill my heart and light up my day. And suddenly, all my big plans for myself didn’t seem so important anymore. I soon found that the greatest joy in my life was the joy I saw in yours. And I realized that my own life wouldn’t count for much unless I was able to ensure that you had every opportunity for happiness and fulfillment in yours. In the end, girls, that’s why I ran for President: because of what I want for you and for every child in this nation.   To read the rest of the story visit Parade Magazine.

    Hey Robin – how about spelling “Barack” right? Are you jealous that these girls will get a better education that you did and will probably not end up writing badly edited “articles” for a gossip blog?

    Go back to school.

    V Shor – every hear of a typo? By the way Robin is spelled Robyn – as to the nasty school comment I just graduated last month with a “Major in Political Science & a minor in History” and am heading back for my Masters – can you say the same? Sorry you are offended by a perfectly pleasant article!
