2. Green tie! Nice touch...

3. Holy Hell He's Irish Too??

This guy is just too damned good to be true.

I don't know. If anything the last 7 years have taught me it is to never get your hopes up. I really hope that he walks in the WH in Jan, but I'm not holding my breath or counting my chickens.

4. He's going to make a great president.

He's got the personality and intelligence to repair our relationships with the rest of the world. When the guy talks, I can actually believe what he says, and if it's one thing that's guided me through life, it's the uncanny ability to see through a line of bullshit. I don't get that feeling from Obama. My bullshit detector doesn't go off like it does when "the other one" is yammering away...

6. I concur.

And, this may sound silly, but my cat is afraid of voices except my own -- she even runs away from the sound of someone on the TV -- but she sits calmly and taps the tip of her tail on the occasions he's been speaking on CSPAN.

5. Perfect choice of quote from Shaw.

G'Obama!

[Ned_Devine]

7. I love him, but it's pronounced Keltic, not Seltic

[dbmk]

8. Both are correct.

9. How are the Kelts doing this year in the NBA?

Just wondering.
