hail to the chief

We're watching Obama's press conference, and I'm just loving that we have a commander-in-chief who does not make me wince every time he opens his mouth. And the question he had to write down? PRICELESS.

Somewhere, my father's head is exploding.

Dear God, isn't it wonderful! He's articulate! I can actually listen to him! And look at him! And be proud he's our Prez. How amazing.

I hope Dubya's head is exploding too.

Exactly. I can't tell you how awful it was to listen to Dubya's southern-fried hick act, and it hurt my soul every time he said "nyookyoolur." I'm not the biggest Clinton supporter, either, but at least the man wasn't stupid.

LOL. I didn't see it but at least he doesn't make the US look like a bunch of idiots run it.

I think he's been doing quite the opposite, which makes me very glad!

And he told everyone to wash their hands! OMG LOVE.

I was giggling like a fiend. It's understood that what Obama was saying was important, but at the same time, it was really cute. "All right, people, remember to WASH YOUR HANDS, and don't cough on the other kids."

"And I want you all to behave!"

*points to [livejournal.com profile] pkmorrison's comment below*

It was absolutely hilarious, although I predict that Obama will take some flak for having a brain fart and saying "down to the lowliest private" when referring to the members of the armed forces. You could tell he was having an "oh shit, did I just say that" moment afterwards.

The NYTimes reporter (I think) asked him that since he came to the White House, what thing did he find the most surprising, the most enchanting, the most humbling and the most something else. He carefully wrote it all down, and everybody cracked up; and he gave a long, thoughtful answer. What a guy.
