Americans Away From Home

Ah, it's Tuesday. To be President, what's it like?

The Usual

Has it become mundane yet? Barack Obama gets his daily briefing, early in the morning. As usual. The economic daily briefing, and meetings with senior advisors? Later in the morning.

Meet with a King

Ho-hum. Meet King Abdullah of Jordan. Where? In the Personal Dining Room. This must be a particular honor. Of sorts.

Football + Military Together

Ah! The Commander-in-Chief gets to give the Commander-in-Chief's trophy to a football team. Not just any: It's the Naval Academy's football team. Where? The rose garden. Of course.

Want more?

Meeting with Senator Ted Kennedy and former President Clinton in the Oval Office to discuss national service. Travel to The SEED School in Washington, D.C. Why? It's innovative, serves underserved students. What's he doing there? He'll call on all of us to serve our communities. And then! The President signs the Edward M. Kennedy Serve America Act, opening up new ways for Americans to serve. Who else is there? FLOTUS (The First Lady); Vice-President Biden; Dr. Jill Biden; former President Clinton; and former First Lady Rosalyn Carter.

Is it a wrap?

Not so fast. The President and the First Lady will do community service in Washington, D.C.
