We ask that everyone bring a news story to the table and discuss what it means. I'm not sure my teenagers get it but it's healthier than eating in front of the television like many of their friends' families do.<br /><br />My opinion was that being the first black man to be elected to the presidency lured everyone into believing that Obama would make food grow in the desert and abolish things like war and injustice.
