Check out the White House’s president’s page for presidential quick facts. The White House also hosts a page for kids. [Editor's Note: The kids page was removed when the new White House website went live following the inauguration; I'll reinstate this link if the page comes back into existence.]

And if you like getting crazy in the kitchen, make a batch of Obama cupcakes (shown). Inspired by Obama's logo, I created these cupcakes for an election party we attended and they were a huge hit. Simply make your favorite cupcake and vanilla frosting recipe, and make extra frosting so you don’t need to worry about running out as you split the frosting for the different colors. I recommend using three pastry bags and piping tips (easier than washing out and drying one bag) and also having on hand an extra tube each of red and blue food coloring or gel since it takes a good amount of food coloring to achieve a true red and blue.
