President Obama Reads "Where the Wild Things Are"

See video

President Obama reads Maurice Sendak's classic "Where the Wild Things Are" at the 2012 White House Easter Egg Roll.

While watching this video it dawned on me that a line from this book, "staring into all their yellow eyes without blinking once," is how President Obama deals with the Republican obstrctionists in Congress.

Rest In Peace Maurice Sendak.
