Barack Obama's Diary: Tranquility

Dear Diary: The tablets  I'm taking have left me much more laid back.  Pootin called today but failed even to speed my pulse. " Obamavitch," he said, using that vile name. " I see that the Edgartown Bookshop has prepared a reading list in case you visit them. I suggest Leadership for Dummies"  "Da svidanya... goodbye poopy-head," I replied. My sophisticated humor   silenced him instantly. Malia and Sasha arrived and we had dinner at our rental house rather than have the media hacks make fun of Michelle if she asks for a large serving of fries.  But enough about me.
