		<description>Oh Alex! &lt;br/&gt;Stop being such a stuffy buffy! (just made that up, lol!) &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;You know America has a ridiculous facination with beautiful people. (See any grocery store shelves lately?) Were you sleep during the election?  The President-elect was a &quot;rock star.&quot;   &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Fortunately (and unfortunately) the President and the first family are always brought up to celebreity status of some sort; some more than others.  Our wonderfuly idol obsessed country did this with the Kennedy&#039;s in our parent&#039;s generation (my mom still has a letter from Jackie O), and in jolly old England, we saw poor Princess Di die at the hands of paparazzi.  &lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;We just have to grin and bare the idiocy of fanatics who follow the celebrity rather than the credibility.  But it&#039;s fun to watch and read. (checkin&#039; out Vibe blog now. ;p)</description>
