Oh my God, oh my God, President Obama!

Okay, so I was as excited as the next person on Inauguration Day. I watched the swearing in with the rest of my company in the conference room, and followed coverage on my computer the rest of the day, and caught some of the Inaugural balls last night. But just now, on Countdown, I saw a picture of Obama sitting at his desk in the Oval Office, on the phone, with his shirtsleeves rolled up. And my heart did this thing in my chest, and I suddenly had tears in my eyes, because it's really real: PRESIDENT OBAMA!!!!

YAY!!!!

Also, as an aside, I love how much Barack and Michelle love each other. It is so beautiful.

I don't know if I've ever seen two people that obviously in love before. I feel honored to be allowed to witness it.

Yes, that. That's exactly how I feel about it. If you get a chance, or are so inclined I'd look through the photos on obama_daily or join. It makes my days much better. Also? I was telling antheia that the problem with this photo (http://community.livejournal.com/lolobama/156708.html) is that it makes me believe in fairy tales again and I am too old for that malarky.

Oh thanks! I didn't know about obama_daily. I'm off to join.

...the problem with this photo is that it makes me believe in fairy tales again and I am too old for that malarky.

Me too, me too! But how can you look at that photo and not believe? It's just not possible!
