The President-Elect Obama suck-up for today comes from White House reporter Sheryl Gay Stolberg and the opening to her Thursday story, "Used to Early Nights, Washington Is Ready To Stay Up Late [1]."
Bill Clinton brought jazz, Rhodes scholars, a slice of Arkansas and all-night pizza [2] policy sessions. When George W. Bush arrived, Texans took over the town. Blue jeans were out; coats and ties and cowboy boots were in.
