No.44

When Obama speaks, I buy it. Which is to say, I genuinely believe that he believes what he's saying, that his intentions are exactly as he states them, and that he has at least the tenacity to drive his will through the political machine. Never felt that way about any politician before, ever, not even slightly. If he fails, if Barack Obama is a bad president, so be it; at least he made me believe that American people actually still have a collective will, and a functioning enough political system to enact that will. I flat out didn't believe that 12 hours ago, did you?

I have nothing snarky or shitty to say at this moment.

Wait, yes I do: shut the fuck up, Oprah. I'm pretty sure he'd have won without the 12 obese hausfraus you still manage to boss around. 20 minute rambling self-congratulatory interview about how Chicago is her town and she knew they'd do the right thing for her because some news twit waved a microphone at her head. Last time I saw something that large black and dense it was killing Maximilian Schell in a Disney movie.

But yeah, Obama. It's Morning In America. For real this time.
