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.

It was on Countdown with Keith Olbermann last night. If you go to the web site, you can watch the clip. It's #4, "Obama sets his priorities." Here's the direct link:

Rewatching it, I realized he doesn't actually have his shirtsleeves rolled up. He just gives that impression, of being hard at work. :)
