Mara to offer personal congratulations on the birth of his tenth child. After being informed by the White House operator that Mara was unavailable, the President spoke with Mara's daughter, Susan, to convey his well-wishes to the family. The conversation concluded with lighthearted commentary regarding the family's gender balance and a brief exchange concerning the President's support for both the New York Giants and the Washington Redskins.","topics":["Wellington T.
