    Wow, this video is only from 2005? Barack looks about 10 years younger. Poor guy, that campaign really wore him out.

    With that said, I'd still hit it in a second.

    With each emerging detail about Rahm - I love him even more. The fact that he only has 9 1/2 fingers has totally sealed it for me.

    Thou shall not kill, unless he is a target. I realize Barrack did not write this speech. But his deadpan delivery seals the deal. I can't believe we have a President Elect with a sense of humor who does not seem like a douchebag.

    @Cord: The two qualities are not mutually exclusive. I love Bill, but I think it's safe to say Clinton behaves live a douche in his "private life". Or he would if he could live out his Burkle-fueled lifestyle without cramping HRC's style!

    @SeaBassTian: Really? I haven't heard about Bill being a douche. He's always been described as warm and affable in his private life. In fact, he is often too warm to the women around him. If your an enemy then of course he's a douche. Obama is no different especially to his former mentor Alice Palmer.

    @Cord: What part of "I like Bill" did you not understand? But I think that if he were left to his own devices he would be living La Vida Jailbait with his billionaire cronies. I think Obama seems like he has integrity plus humor.

    Eh, I don't think Barry needs a 22-year-old staffass for his pop culture. This is the guy who said Omar was his favorite TV character, brushed that dirt off his shoulders, and joked that a belt of Michelle's was made of "dilithium crystals."

    We can at least be sure about that last one, right? I love our new nerd president.

    Sometimes I wonder if Obama really knows about Entourage. In my past life, I worked for a politician and I would add jokes and references to pop culture that the politician had no clue about but it sounded good to the press and his audience. If you ever get the chance, try to steal a politician's briefing binder. It will be oodles of fun.
