 If this isn't the cutest thing ever I don't know what is! Sasha Obama, along with several students from her school attended the arrival ceremony for Chinese President Hu Jintao. The first daughter stood along the rope lines with her classmates and wave American flags. Love it!

Did you know there was a State Dinner next week?

According to the Washington Post, it is true. On next Wednesday, January 19 President Obama will welcome Chinese President Hu Jintao to the United States with a full fledged White House State Dinner in spite of the Tragedy in Tucson. While the White House contends it has been planned for months in advance, I can see many of their opponents jumping on them for having such an elaborate gathering so soon after the shooting.

What do you guys think? Good idea or bad idea?
