Everybody loves Obama

Larry King: You recently issued one of your new rules decreeing that Obama must give comedians something to work with. Any suggestions?
Bill Maher: No. It’s very difficult. We have been spoiled, first with Bill Clinton and then George Bush. And here’s a president now who — he’s not stupid. He’s not angry. He’s not a phony. He’s not fat. He’s not cheating on his wife.
Who needs a jerk like that around for the next four years? Come on.
(LAUGHTER)
But look, he’s going to be the president and we’re going to have to get over our nervousness about making fun of a black person. He’s not a black person. He’s the president.
Cool Lola

And the highlight of Obama’s speech for me was this super lola, who Obama uses to maximum effectivity as a history marker. She was old enough to be NOT ALLOWED to vote because she was a woman and she was black. It’s an amazing time for Americans. Watching it from miles and miles away, it feels like West Wing all over again (my only source of White House dynamics–so I hope Sorkin et al did their job). Pundits (or as Palin says it, pundints) say this is truly America changing right before your very eyes.
I was watching the speech and that bullet proof glass gave me the creeps. I just realised how many people could see him as a threat. Let him live, please.
If his speech is any indication of his person…then he’s definitely a Jed Bartlett in the making.
She lived long enough to see a black president in the very white house!
Thanks Mr. Bush, for doing such a bad job.
