President Obama and First Lady Michelle Obama visited a public school in Washington D.C. today, where they answered questions and read to the children. This not only shows their interest in community service and connecting to people, it also gives the kids unexpected attention and hope for the future.

Besides, isn't it cool to have an intelligent president do this? After all, when he read to the kids, I would bet the book was right side up.
