If he can’t handle a few un-dyed roots, he doesn’t deserve to be President!

You seemed so cool and collected. VERY professional. It makes me so proud to be a part of the Mom Blog World!! It also shows those of us who left careers behind to follow our dreams of being Moms, that we can still have an important impact on the world at large.

And your hair and clothes were fine. But I would have been more panicked about that than the interview – I totally get it. When I met Bill and Hill a few years back I was so worried I had lunch in my teeth that I hardly remember the conversation.

Obama seemed like an wonderfully normal guy you could hang out and talk sports or politics with over coffee or a beer. He appears passionate yet controlled.

The BlogHer team had excellent questions and you did a very good job at getting at the answers.

And to think, you have just met our next President.

CONGRATULATIONS!

This is why I’m letting the gray grow out and won’t color beyond maybe some highlights in the future. I cannot take one more stupid demand in my life!

Congrats, Erin, ya done good….

This is awesome, Erin.

I would have cried in my pillow (and probably peed my pants), but you came across with grace and flair.

Well done!

Wow. This is absolutely fantastic! I’ve been an understudy and gone on with 24 hours notice so I feel you a wee bit. But I was never talking to the next (fingers cross) president! Dang. More more more please!

Thank you for the interview. You did a great job! In fact, when I saw the interview I made a note to myself how incredibly calm you were when you acknowledged that his answer led into the next question. I’m sure I would have had to stick to the cards so badly I couldn’t say anything unrehearsed.

The behind-the-scenes stuff is hilarious. You did a great job fitting in all the questions in a ridiculously short amount of time. Nicely done!
