Katie Couric: Who are the three people who are alive you would most like to have dinner with ... other than me? (laughter) Barack Obama: I would love to have dinner with Nelson Mandela before he passes away. Obviously he's getting on in years. The last time I saw him he was very sharp, but he was having hearing problems, and he's getting frail. You know, sitting down with him would be something I'd enjoy doing. Somebody I always love having a conversation with is Warren Buffet, who I talk to fairly frequently. We've become good friends. He's a good economic advisor of mine. And whenever I'm with him, what I'm always struck by is how much he enjoys what he's doing, and how unaffected he's been by his success. He's just a plain-spoken, you know, funny, he's like your favorite uncle - except worth $56 billion and really smart. So he's somebody I enjoy spending time with. The third person that I think I'd like to spend time with, well, this is my family, but I'd like to spend time with my grandmother, who I've only seen once in the last 19 months. She's been the rock of my family. She worked very hard all of her life, and made a lot of sacrifices on my behalf. And now she can't travel. She's got osteoporosis that's very bad. She's as sharp as they come. She explained to me the other day, she said you know the problem with getting old is that you're the same person, just your body is falling apart, and it's very frustrating. And that's how she feels. And you know, spending time with her is something that's going to be a priority after the election is over.

I saw Michelle on 'The Daily Show' last night. She's nothing like the rightwing propaganda machine makes her out to be. She's really down to earth and friendly. That was funny when the host asked if they should have a separate election for First Lady, and what would happen if her husband won the Presidential election but Cindy McCain won the First Lady election. Did you see the clip from after the recent debate where Obama went to shake McCain's hand and McCain refused to shake it and pushed Obama over to his wife Cindy? McCain has no class.
