Wow. Watching his inaugural address, all I could do was stare gape-jawed and think, "This is our president? Him?? This intelligent, rational, inspirational, humble, idealistic, powerful example of the American Dream?"
I can't believe it. We have a leader we can be proud of. Of course it won't be easy; I don't envy the guy the herculean task -- check that, mountain of tasks -- before him. And of course his simple assumption of office isn't the solution to our problems: I hope not too many Americans are naive enough to believe that, like the tidy happy ending to a movie. But! I can think of no better mind and figure to lead us through this. There was not a single statement he made that I didn't either congratulate him on or cheer him through.
Hot damn, our president is frigging Pericles.
Gobama.

Since Tuesday my IM status has been "Bama-bama-bo-rama-rama, fi-fie-fo-fama, Obama!" And I haven't even seen the speech yet! I gotta go find me a webcast.... I almost even got up early enough to see it (7:00am here). We couldn't even have watched it on the TV; it's sitting downstairs, not hooked up to anything, sitting on the floor, with cardboard taped over its face. Poor TV.
