"i don't know if you've heard, but my husband is running for president."

welcome to my life.

 

In order to preface this post, so as to not dissapoint or lose your interest, I find it important to note that: over the past several months (and even more over the next three days), my life revolves completely around Senator Barack Obama (D-Il.) So, welcome to my politically saturated life.

 

Yesterday, I introduced Michelle Obama to a crowd in a russell house ballroom that quickly became a "standing room only" event. I got to hang out with Auma Obama, Barack's sister from Kenya, while waiting to talk to Michelle for a while after the event. Did i mention that when I welcomed her to our school she rememembered having met me before? Consider it mentioned.

 

Over the past few weeks, I've gotten to spend time with Kerry Washington, Chris Tucker, Tatyana Ali, Kal Penn, and Samantha Power. I became best friends with Chris Hughes and talked to Michael Cera on the phone for a little bit. No big thing.

so as far as other, less important politicians go, i'm currently digging Joel Lourie, Jim Clyburn, Russ Feingold, and Lindsey Graham.

i really loathe Mark Sanford, John Edwards, and Mike Huckabee. i don't even want to link to their websites. and THAT is how i feel about that.  Governor Romney is on the steady decline with his remarkably unoriginal campaign slogan of "change". cheers, mitt.

Michelle Obama is the most well spoken, articulate, incredible woman I have ever had the opportunity to see speak or speak to. I want to be her as of, oh, yesterday. what a life goal.

Speaking of women, Hillary Rodham Clinton, in one of her finer moments, said-- "Well, yes. I did vote for [that bill]. But I really hoped it would fail."

bloody brilliant.
