Tuesday Morning Open Thread

Good morning.

This morning, the President will sign the reconciliation bill at Northern Virginia Community College in Alexandria, Virginia. The setting is significant because of the student loan reforms that are included in the reconciliation bill. That was a huge accomplishment, which got overshadowed by the health care debate. At least student loan reform made it through, unlike almost everything else. (Obama will be introduced by Dr. Jill Biden, who teaches at NOVA Community College.)

Later today, the President is meeting with President Sarkozy of France. Then, he and Michelle are having dinner with Sarkozy and his wife, Carla Bruni. That means DC has a non-political celebrity in its presence. DC-types get giddy over "real" celebrities.

It's Passover, so happy Passover to all who celebrate. Although, this marks one more year in which I did not get invited to a Seder.

Start threading the news...I've got to take Petey out before it starts raining again.
