\nAs you know, I am a very loyal supporter of BlogHer<\/a> and a great admirer of its three founders<\/a>, who have built a community of respect and honesty, humor and warmth that is a treasure to many of my sister bloggers and to me.  At last year’s BlogHer conference much was made of the absence of presidential candidates<\/a>, even though they’d all been invited AND even though we were in Chicago, where Yearly Kos (now called Netroots Nation<\/a>) was happening in literally one or two days, and all the Democrats came there.  It was if the "little ladies" were just not worth the trouble.<\/p>\n

So it’s very exciting to see Barack Obama sit down with BlogHer’s Erin Kotecki Vest<\/a> and answer questions submitted by the BlogHer community.  No headlines, but a broad survey of topics with sound, thoughtful and well-expressed responses.  This is a landmark moment and I’m so proud to be a BlogHer and a small part of its universe.  Watch it for yourself.<\/p>\n
