You know ...

I like Barack Obama because I agree with most of his policies and ideas, because he seems like a decent guy, because he inspires me to feel like he gives a damn about everybody and the future of our country and that there's hope that we can do better. I like him because I think he's smart enough to know he doesn't know everything. I like him because I feel like he'd give a damn about me and my circumstances even though I'm not an elderly white retiree. I like him because he seems approachable and calm, because he appears to be someone who's willing to listen, because I feel like I'm going to be voting for someone who could manage to pull off being a fun guy to have at a cookout AND not being a raging moron at the same time.

I will admit, however ...



... the fact that he's a complete and total hotass is a nice bonus.

True dat.

Michelle Obama is one lucky, lucky woman, that's for damn sure.

[coolgrin.livejournal.com]

Yep. He's a geeky hottie and brilliant and his voice is very dreamy.

[angry-geologist.livejournal.com]

Even better, he's hot in that sort-of geeky way that makes him even cuter.

Oh, man, could you imagine the post-sex discussion? "Ooo, baby, talk to me about congressional law again ..."

[pescivendolo.livejournal.com]

Such. A badass.

[l-vera01.livejournal.com]

Oh my, where have those pics been hiding? Damn.

[tinylegacies.livejournal.com]

FOR REALS.

I mean, come on... if there's some sort of national tragedy, wouldn't you rather hear about it from Obama than McCain?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

I want Obama to sit me down personally and comfort me. Put his arm around my shoulder, kiss and make it all better, maybe a little comfort sex ...

*dreamy eyes*

... okay, I'm back now.

There's something strange and wrong about a sexually attractive politician.

Now I have to go look at pictures of Gordon Brown and Alex Salmond to feel normal again.

It also doesn't hurt that smart is majorly sexy. Dude, in the last debate, when he pronounced Pakistan correctly, I damn near melted in my seat.

Yeah, all these folks who apparently think using big words is elitist are missing the boat, like, a LOT. Good words, used right? Beat just about every other possible hot factor, just about every time (barring someone, like, using big words well to argue something horrible).

But yeah, look at him, too. Basically, he doesn't hurt my eyes, my ears, or my conscience.

::nods:: I know, isn't it exciting?! The prospect of listening to and watching him for the next eight years doesn't make me want to hide under the couch :)

I'm from India. His long As have me crooning to him. CROONING. That's right, sugar, pronounce things properly for me.

My friends so far find it amusing rather than creepy, but I worry.

[marag.livejournal.com]

That's the great thing about hanging out here with fangirls: We *understand*. Oh yes we do.

[ficangel.livejournal.com]

I swear to God, I just now translated your Obama tag.

And you're damn right. :)

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

HAHAHAHA! So did I! XD

[scottique.livejournal.com]

Third'd. I didn't get it before now. :-D

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

women go crazy for a sharp dressed man...


*chinhands*

[minim_calibre]

Dude, totally. And his wife's not too shabby, herself!

[anne-jumps.livejournal.com]

They're both lovely.

[eisoj5]

My goodness that's a nice picture. *fans self*

My personal favorite, though, is the one from the seventies, where he's wearing that leather jacket. :D

[narrelle.livejournal.com]

I think this is my favourite post about the election to date. :-D

[brigidsblest.livejournal.com]

No argument from me. *swoon*

[azurelunatic]

Even McCain thinks he's smokin': http://tinyurl.com/3z3u4r

[myniamh.livejournal.com]

Oh wow.

[anoel.livejournal.com]

YES.

If I'm going to be seeing a president all the time, he might as well be hot. An unexpected bonus I say but still a lot of his beauty comes from his goodness and personality. At least that's what my non-shallow side justifies it.
