He had me back at "skinny kid with a funny name"

Amidst all the attention paid to the fact that Barack Obama is black, I think people at times lose sight of the fact that he flat out rocks. There's never been another politician in our lifetimes worth being excited about, and now there both is one and he's President to boot. Which means we all (substantially) agree on something. So I'm in a good mood, despite the fact that I have to go back to work.
