Dear Mr. President,
Forget the state of the economy, medical insurance issues, and the never ending tax-rate debate–politics just isn’t my cup of macaroni and cheese, if you will.

Great Job Mary! Midwood is my favorite too. Great minds and all… 😉

Last time Obama was in Portland (where I’m from), he went to this tiny little diner that hardly ever received any press. Now it’s the spot that Obama went and I’m pretty sure it’s always jammed up now.
