The popular human interest angle on Barack Obama's success is the prospect of a new First Family living in the White House. "Sasha and Malia, I love you more than you can imagine and you have earned the new puppy that is coming with you to the White House," was the line from the next First Father's speech that Kate Snow (no link) picked up on for ABC. "It is the first time since the Kennedys that the laughter of two young children will fill the White House," she smiled, assuming a lack of tantrums from the First Daughters. Friends of Obamas assured her that the family is "so very normal, so grounded." NBC had Ann Curry profile the future First Lady: "Her biggest job may be keeping life as normal as possible for daughters Malia and Sasha," she mused, "and helping her husband keep all his promises." Guess which promise Curry quoted? "You have earned the new puppy…"
As for Michelle Obama herself, Curry gushed that she is "her own Horatio Alger story," in this instance being raised in a "hardworking family" on Chicago's South Side, earning a college scholarship, and graduating with a law degree from Harvard University.
