30. I'm sure he'll be fired up and ready to go again...
Hopefully he'll do some big events in PA too ~ so far he's only done a couple of closed events, and some volunteers are getting antsy.

10. I think "Mr. President" is going to suit him very, very well.
Too bad he's going to have a long list of The Chimpster's fuckups to clean up after.

21. You're joking, right?
Sometimes it's hard to tell who is being facetious and who is a member of the Shillbot wingnut contingent.

24. Lol! I hate pleated pants!
And yes, it's something I look at. FWIW, most of the time Barack wears flat-front, from what I've seen.

I don't enjoy being this shallow. But I was in school when Z. Cavaricci's were popular, so in my defense, I've suffered significant trauma in this regard.

27. I love the third photo
It gives me a sense of how he will look when he is older: I know he will be as distinguished as Rep. Conyers.
