    You just like seeing me cry. :( QT

    Bob, Ive seen most of your videos. This is indeed awesome. This is Awesome hall of fame material for sure.

    Bob -I don’t comment a lot but i read the blog every day and I must comment now. If this doesn’t get inducted to the Awesome Hall of Fame, I’m quitting the site. Its the natural extension of “Everybody chill the F out, I got this.”He’s got it for real now.

    Not wanting to break any bubbles, but the footage occurred while he was still the president-elect… a technicality that meant the plane could not yet be designated Air Force One. That distinction occurs to any plane the sitting president happens to be on.Still, it is an awesome video.

    It’s impossible, even, I daresay, if you’re Rush Limbaugh or my racist relatives, to not notice how generous he is with everyone, how much he smiles, how warm his handshake, how he calls the men around him “sir” without fail. This is a man who exudes respect for his fellow human beings. This is the President as an ordinary human being who works every day to do extraordinary things.

    “You’re right out of central casting.” heh.Very cool.

    What Jumpy said is exactly right, our new president is a man of deference, respect and graciousness. He is the antithesis of Bush’s smirking, nicknaming, shit-on-you Silverspoonism. And now I know exactly how to prepare the President a burger when he comes over for a bar-b-que.Hey, a guy can dream.

    I’ll dream with you, Elvis. ;) QT

    Adding: I really don’t know how much more Awesomeness I can take from this guy, I’ve been something of a gelatinous mass of emotion since Tuesday. There’s something very, very right with our politics when the mere sight of our new president sitting in The Oval Office can induce a grown man to tears of joy.Also: Suck it, Limbaugh. You fat fuck.

  • McWolcott

    That just plain rocked!”Oh, i’ll still take the fries”Good stuff!

  • Curly Lasagna

    >>…how much he smiles…That is what strikes me, the smile. No more smirking, just an honest, friendly smile. How refreshing!Also, I admire that, for a man who is so obviously an achiever, he carries himself with an air of humility. You’ll never hear this President refer to “a mandate.”I grew so tired of the arrogance we were treated to for the last 8 years.

  • Packy

    Ok. It is official.Barack Obama is a Class Act™.

    That’s our President? Seriously? I thought Presidents called everyone by made up nicknames and said everything with a smirk?

    Dear Jehovah, lookit the man make friends. Everyone is smiling!

    I love the way he puts his hand on people when he talks to them.

    Bet the wingnuts blow a gasket over his choice of mustard. Very French!

  • Mike from Boston

    Just a cool, cool person.

    Can we just get it out of the way right now? Yes, I wanna have a beer with this dude!

    Bet the wingnuts blow a gasket over his choice of mustard. Very French!The wingnuts wanted to boycott French’s yellow mustard during the Freedom Toast era, even though French’s is made in America.Grey Poupon is made in the U.S. by Kraft Foods, but the wingnuts will probably be boycotting it anyway.

    1. Bob…I know I don’t come around allatime like back in the day but why’s that guy at the door keep askin’ me for ID. Old school, motherfucker! Like I told him last time…he ain’t been workin’ here long enough to ask me for ID. That chair…yeah THAT one…that’s MY chair.2. Grey poupon? Cheddar cheese? FRIES? Medium RARE?Has anyone told Barack that I am just about the most charming dinner companion a short hop to DC ever saw?3. Awesome video? To top it you need a unicycling platypus that juggles and yodels about meeting Larry Craig at the airport. And it better be top drawer yodeling.
