So, I'm Watching Obama Sign P.O.'s Today

[ProfessorGAC]

And i realized how cool it is to have a president that i CAN stand to look at and listen to.

For 8 years everytime i looked at the freakin' PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES(!) it just pissed me off and i couldn't look at it. I could only listen to is sometimes. I had to read the transcipts on the internet!

What a relief!

1. I know what you mean. I could hardly stand to turn on the TV in case

I might see or hear the shrub.

5. Well, I Had The TV On

I'm addicted to it as background. But i always had the remote close in case his face or voice was noticed!

6. That's Great

That's the whole point isn't it? To have a chief executive you're proud to have in charge. That's the ticket.

9. I just checked out Whitehouse.gov

And for the first time in ages, maybe the first time since I was a child, seeing the picture of the White House brought me to tears. Damn, I'm going to have to get used to being happy, I guess.

11. Oh, I KNOW! I stayed up all night last night just LOOKING at him and Michelle

and I don't care about clothes or parties or anything like that.

It was just the huge relief of being able to lay eyes on those beautiful, brilliant, good hearted young people. They're about my younger brother's age. And they are now in charge of this operation!

This is what "sea change" means.
