Dear Boomer,
I think President Obama’s biggest challenge when he takes office is going to be all his work. He probably needs to try to work on the things that he said he was going to do, like (our energy problems). But I think his biggest challenge is trying to settle in to be comfortable with being the prez.

Sincerely,
H.C.

Dear H.C.,
These are exciting and very important times for the United States. Didja see President Obama’s inauguration on Jan. 20? It sure was worth watching—it’s not every day that you get to see history being made! I hear that he has big plans that he wants to roll out now that he’s in the White House.

Hoping for the best,
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I want to join the Young Reporters Program and was wondering if I have to go on TV or not. If I am on TV, other people will see me.
Can I be chosen to go on TV?
If you choose me, I’ll be happy.

Dear Boomer,
Do you like Nick Jonas?

— O.R.

Hi, O.R.,
Those Jonas Brothers are amazingly talented. Didja catch them on the Disney Channel singing at the Kids’ Inaugural concert? Michelle Obama was in the front row with Malia and Sasha, and the kids went up on stage to dance with the Jonas Brothers. What a week for the Obama family!

Dear Boomer,
I have a big crush on a boy at school, and I’m really nervous to talk to him. What should I do?

— B.G.

Dear B.G.,
When it comes to kids and relationships, I suggest you try the friendship thing first. Find out what he’s really like, and see what things you have in common. Of course this means you’re gonna have to talk to the guy. Just be positive and be yourself!

Best of luck,
Boomer Bear

Dear Boomer,
I have a boyfriend at school. Today, we took pictures together at school. I asked him, “Isn’t taking pictures together fun?” He hates me a lot!

— W.V.

Dear W.V.,
That’s a pretty entertaining story you just shared. Keep having fun at school—with or without this guy!

Photos are phun,
