So I kinda have a crush on Obama. I don't know if it's just too overwhelming to not want to scream and throw things at the TV whenever anything presidential is going on, or maybe it's the huge-ass grin that just calls to me, "I'm actually a good guy," or it just may be the feeling that hey, not only can the world be better, but I can be better. When was the last time you felt like that? I don't mean in the way I usually do, which is "Oh crap. I am so going to hell." Just how long has it been since I admired a politician? I was way behind Al, but things were going along pretty well and it was hard to imagine then how terribly things would go wrong. In retrospect I'm all about Al, but I don't know if he counts now. I LOVE Bill, but I don't know I can say I admire him. I think he did/is doing great things (if you don't pay attention to him wigging out during the last bit of Hillary's campaign...what the hell was that about?), but come on...I'd love to have that guy as your smarmy buddy who's always in some kind of unsavory scrape, not as a role model! I think Obama needs to be elected for that reason if for no other. People are thinking, "I can do something. I need to pay attention." That's a feat in itself. It is entirely possible I'm just another naive sucker being taken in by a snake only out for self-aggrandizement. However, genuine or not (and I think it is), I've been inspired. How can that not be a good thing?
