Wow. The writer almost makes it sound as if writing about Obama is sexual in nature. Which makes me think...

“Obama thrust onto the scene with a solid lead, his supporters firm and resolute. He entered the room with a single movement, causing the audience to gasp. “He’s has such enormous popularity,” one Obama fan gushed. “I couldn’t believe that the room could take it.” Obama’s candence created squealing delight. “Hope... hope... hope...,” he repeated as he probed the depths of voter discontent, letting those listening wait for the climactic change they knew would arrive. He was almost finished when, suddenly, Nancy Pelosi screamed, “I’ve got a quorum! I’ve got a quorum!” She dreamed of the day her chamber would be filled with bills and riders that no one would ever, ever again be able to veto.”

OK, I’ve been naughty. I know it.

They're having premature Orbasms over at Slate, where 55 of 57 staffers are Obama supporters. If Obama makes it we have four years of this insufferable smirking to look forward to.

“Pulling away in the opposite direction, perhaps, as he sinks further in the polls?”

And he hasn’t given a press conference in over 6 weeks...must be a really popular guy.
