The President waves to reporters while a Secret Service agent holds the limo door open for him. Speaking of the Secret Service, the presidential detail often changes with the start of a new administration. Not sure yet, but I believe the President has a new lead agent.
Actually, he had changed lead agents about halfway through his first administration. We on the Dose used to look for his lead agent cause he was such a hunk! I think we called him Steve cause for some reason we thought he looked like a Steve. Turns out his name was Carl, and he is now head of the Bureau of Alcohol Tobacco and Firearms !
Do you think there is actually something wrong with her finger? In one of the books I read, her friends talked about how she practiced her "Miss America" wave for a long time, with the thought of first lady NEVER crossing their minds or hers. It may just be that practiced wave. I don't have any first hand knowledge of course--just a guess, since nothing has ever been mentioned by the media. It seems like the they would have made a big to do about it if there was a problem.
