Helen's back

Helen Thomas is back in the White House press room after being out for awhile for health reasons and she's all ready with some tough questions for the Obama administration. [via]

One of the things that struck me about this clip is the depth of her memory. She casually brings up Bobby Kennedy's prediction during a VOA interview in the 60s that there would be a black president within 30 years. There's something to be said for the perspective of age and the immediacy of history that it brings.
