Oct. 1
Grand Rapids, MI
We’re in Grand Rapids, Michigan now after flying from Washington. Didn’t see much of Washington except inside of the Mayflower Hotel where we waited for a few hours, then the parking lot of the Capitol building, where we waited for Obama to vote in the Senate on the bailout bill. On the plane ride to Grand Rapids, Obama came walking down the isle with a plastic bowl of chocolate cookies. A friend of his wife’s from Minneapolis had bet the Obamas on the outcome of the Twins-White Sox playoff game, and the Obamas won. So the prize seems to be homemade cookies. I took a piece. Alex, the AP photographer, introduced me to the Senator, then snapped a photo of us. He’s actually shorter than you think, sort of like actors. And apparently Obama is a White Sox fan, so lots of sports talk on the plane.
