The man is good.

And no I did not cry .... i had some dirt in my eye.

And complete sentences and he understands that issues are
complex.

3. Isn't it amazing how Presidential Obama looks
I think he needed to keep reminding the reporters that he is not actually President yet

I'm with Letterman who jokingly suggested that Obama take office early

How did Americans allow such a mentally challenged person like W in the White House?

6. Have you watched Michael Moore's "Slacker Uprising"
He takes the media to task for rolling over and playing dead since W was selected.

8. When he said that he "had been reading some Lincoln"
the dirt hit my eye.

Where in the hell did the meme "somebody to have a beer with" become
a good thing in a President? I want the smartest man or women going.

9. He will make it ''cool" to be smart - kids will want to be like him and
they will want to learn, read and speak correctly. He's going to be a GREAT role model.

7. I suddenly remembered my Charlamagne
Let my armies be the rocks, and the trees, and the birds in the sky...
