Hubby and I do date night in the town where we live.

Who am I to deny the 0bamas their date? Just leave the 747’s, armored limos, and extensive entourages out of it.
Probably the chef could whip up a lovely private dinner and I wouldn’t begrudge them some violin music from local talent. Grandma is there to watch the kids anyway.

At the beginning of Part II of this puff tome, article talks about their wedding and says about their wedding rings:" Michelle's was traditional, but Barack's was an intricate gold design from Indonesia, where he had lived as a boy."

I thought that odd & wondered was that the ring he had worn before his marriage?

I’ll have to do a Google and see if the Obama’s have had State Dinners in their ‘almost’ first year.

Their version of a State Dinner is the Wednesday night 'rock star' parties.

I can’t read 10 pages. My A.D.D. kicked in after the snippet.

puffery -— not worth the time, but there were a few choice morsels to follow up.

They sure don’t look like the same rings to me. Maybe he was given *friendship* rings by others before his *real* marriage?

Something very Creepy about the ring in the left picture. I can’t put my finger on it.

The picture on the right is showing a ring on a finger? Very far down a finger? or is it a thumb? It just looks strange. Oh, and cheap. The ring in the second picture looks cheap.

Here's something that just occurred to me. Other Presidents had many State Dinners, and they are elaborate affairs.

Has Obama had any? I'm just not remembering that.

For today's media, it depends.

CBS says the first state dinner will be held for India on Nov. 24.

The LA Times said the first state dinner was held for US Governors in February.

February, November, Governors, India -- what does it matter to the fab couple and the cool coverage?

India might be a bit puzzled, though.

re: post #27. I can only assume they are the same ring.

These images are too poor in quality to enlarge, at least given my capabilities.
