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.

The best bit is that "ThanngGaaad" at the very end. Pure Chicago.

@La Cieca: IT IS... I'm a Chicagoan, born and raised and it's so hilarious to hear Obama and his Chicago idiosyncrasies - because he's not a native.

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.

@SeaBassTian: What other President besides Bush was both humorous and 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.

I almost wish Sarah Palin will run for and win Stephens' senate seat just so she can get to know Emanuel's little stubby thing.

OK, I'll give it to him for the middle finger jokes, but Barry is not... uhh.. by nature.... a funny guy.

Finally, absolute proof that Obama pals around with philanthropists.

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.

@Cord: Since Rahm's brother Ari is the person Entourage's Ari is based on, I would assume he does know it.

@doggotmyshoes: I bet that in 2005, though, Obama still had to watch his own TV. Plus that was back when EVERYONE watched Entourage.

@Cord: Seeing how one of the President-elect's favorite series is/was "The Wire," I wouldn't discount he watches another HBO series.
