		<title>Obama&#8217;s People</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The New York Times has this special edition of photos of Obama&#8217;s People.  It&#8217;s interesting to see the variety and age of some of these people.  I like Eugene Kang, 24, special assistant to the president&#8230;he looks like he could be one of my students!
