I'm in Love With a Wonderful Guy

For eight long years, I fled from the TV and put fingers in my ears whenever our former president appeared to make some inane and pointless speech with that horrible smirk on his face. But last night I rushed back from dinner, changed into my robe and slippers and sat myself right in front of the TV in order to watch President Barack Obama address the nation and the Congress. What a thrill! I still can't believe he is actually President of the United States. How did something so fabulous happen?! He's so cute, so intelligent, so charming, so wonderful in every way. And, yes, yes, yes, I am in love, heads over heels in love with Barack Obama. Afterwards, I wanted to rush up and kiss the screen. I felt like I was replaying a scene from one of those black and white wartime movies. The one where a family is huddled around the radio set listening in rapt attention to Churchill or Roosevelt report on the progress of the war.
