The more I hear about Obama, the more he fucking rocks

Not only did he publicly and deliciously diss George W. Bush in his forever-etched-in-textbooks inauguration speech, now Barack Obama is actually following through on the what seemed like over-the-top promises he fed us during the campaign. I ate it up like cold pizza leftovers but shamefully and silently thought, "Whatever, like he's ever going to do anything he's promising." But, ohmigawd, he is. Unlike so many other politicians, not only is Obama clearly in love with his wife, his rhetoric wasn't said in a void. Closing Guantanamo Bay? Check.

Lifting the secrecy veil around the White House? Check. "For a long time now there's been too much secrecy in this city." Spoken like someone channeling my dreams (Barack?)... and I'm cautiously optimistic that maybe, just maybe someone with integrity has finally graced the halls of the White House. 'Bout frickin' time.

It is about frickin' time. You are right about that. If you didn't realize this before the inaugural, I/U have no idea who U were supporting. You might have voted for John McCain. At least you are on board now.

HHHeyyyy AAAlex, Thanks for the comment. My point is that you never know who you're voting for - or what they *really* stand for - until they get into office. This country has been let down countless times by political wonks who lie, lie, lie to get elected. It's refreshing that Obama didn't fall into this bloated category.
