This from the LA Times...
Mr. and Mrs. Obama aren't the only ones to have visited the White House for a little face time with the president in recent days: George W. Bush announced today the nine recipients of the 2008 National Medal of the Arts, managed by the National Endowment for the Arts, at a ceremony in the East Room of the White House.
Among those presented with the medals by the president and first lady were Los Angeles comic book writer and producer Stan Lee — creator and co-creator of comic book icons including Spiderman, the Incredible Hulk and the X-Men — and the songwriting brothers Robert B. Sherman and Richard M. Sherman, who wrote the scores for numerous Disney films, including "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang," "The Jungle Book" and "The Aristocrats" and won two Academy Awards for "Mary Poppins."
