State of Obvious

Joshism: After being shuffled from my bed to his own, still half in slumber: Mom can you get me a glass of Mothra ?

Matt Lauer was talking to former US Secretary of Defense, William Cohen, and his wife Janet Langhart who is African American. Matt asked: Do you think the US is ready for a black president, a woman president or even a Mormon president? Well!
