God, I hope it’s just half an hour of Obama’s increasingly sinister laughter.

I’m already sobbing! Damn you and your…hopeful text!

If he comes out in a dashiki and black leather gloves, offering the assembled press corps some bean-flavored ice cream, then he will have truly become MY PRESIDENT.

I’m moist with anticipation. Moist . . .

I am hoping he announces that Warren “Everything I Touch Turns To Gold” Buffett is his Sec. of Treasury.

I bet $10 we hear the word “uptight”.

[re=170606]rambone[/re]: You and Chris Matthews. He is bathing in the afterglow and it hasn’t even started.

Dear Leader Kim Jung Barry

All hail General Barack of Obama. The President of News Conferences!!!

Does he have his bullet-proof armored HopeMobile™ yet? I’ve heard it’s got hydrolics and 21” spinners.

So this is how he announces that all wealth will be redistributed to crackwhores? Because I can change careers, y’know.

Nedra Pickler of the Associated Press in the front row, all up in Barry’s grill, looking svelte and landsharky there in her retro-1974 lime-jello-McCain-backdrop-green ensemble. Saucy.

Seriously, I wish he would just take a day off. I’m running out of Kleenex. I think it’s his way of keeping the economy afloat.. one tissue at a time.

I even have speakers now to watch a live feed. God, I’m so moving up in the career ladder.

My HOPE is that he comes out in a purple afro and a Dracula cape with an extremely long collar. Maybe a rap about socialism and white women.

“I’m gettin’ sick of Congress duckin’ me, man…”

Correction – this is just an historical moment that happens to be African American.
