Good Manners: Kids wish President Obama well

Talk about a good manner that'll make a whole country feel good. These kids wrote letters to President Obama wishing him well in his new job. My favorite: Alexis Feliciano asks him to please help the economy, because her cup of whipped cream at Starbucks has gone from 43¢ to 74¢. 

A girl's got to have her whipped cream, you know.

Letters were collected by literacy program 826 and put in a book called "Thanks and Have Fun Running the Country." You can hear them on McSweeney's web site and reported on by This American Life. Take a listen -- these few minutes of good manners guaranteed to make you feel really good.
