I SIMPLY CANNOT HOLD THIS IN ANY LONGER.
YOU GUYS. I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY LOVE BARACK OBAMA.

BRB, LET ME ELABORATE VIA PICSPAM.

Hope is what led me here today - with a father from Kenya,
a mother from Kansas, and a story that could only happen in the
United States of America. Hope is the bedrock of this nation;
the belief that our destiny will not be written for us, but by
us; by all those men and women who are not content to settle
for the world as it is; who have the courage to remake the
world as it should be.

I DON'T KNOW WHERE TO BEGIN. OH WAIT, THAT'S A LIE, I ACTUALLY DO BECAUSE I'M SECRETLY EXTREMELY SHALLOW AND NOT SO SECRETLY HAVE A MASSIVE CRUSH ON THIS MAN. I'M TALKING, RIVALING THE LIKES OF MY LOVE OF EVERYONE AND EVERYTHING I HAVE EVER FANGIRL-FLAILED OVER.

I think we should break this up into chapters that chronicle The Love. A pictorial journey, if you will!

Chapter One: The Smile That Single-Handedly Solved Our Nation's Energy Crisis







Chapter Two: YOU ARE A TOTAL DREAMBOAT, SIR.









Chapter Three: I Would Not At All Mind Having Your Brilliant Babies, But I Know You'd Never Be Cool With That Because You And Your Wife? ARE SO IN LOVE IT HURTS.*












*But I'm okay with that because Michelle is kiiiind of/definitely my hero. AND GORGEOUS.





Chapter Four: Since I Can't Have Your Babies, I'm Ready And More Than Willing To Be Your Adopted Daughter Because Your Family?
IS THE MOST DARLING FAMILY EVER. (AKA: OMFG YOU ARE INFINITELY HOTTER WITH YOUR FAM, BB!)













Chapter Five: SOMETIMES YOU BRING THE LULZ LIKE NO OTHER, AND I LOVE IT.









Addendum to Chapter Five: YOU + FOOD = AMAZING.





Chapter Six: YOUR MILKSHAKE BRINGS ALL THE VOTERS TO THE YARD








Chapter Seven: Bromancing the Pretzel









Chapter Eight: Joe Biden: THE MOST AWESOME AND HILARIOUS VP NOMINEE IN HISTORY.







HOLD THE PICSPAM. Since we're Bidening it up a notch, I gotta say--




ILU BEAU BIDEN.

Chapter Nine: How are you so awesome, B?










Chapter Ten: ...And the supporters eat it all up!














I INTERRUPT THIS PICSPAM FOR SOME REGULARLY SCHEDULED ~PARTAYYYYY-TIME~




Chapter Twelve: Politicians and celebs (BECAUSE WE ALL KNOW HOW IMPORTANT THOSE FOOLS ARE) are not immune to his infectious loveliness!













Chapter Thirteen: I believe the children are our future. (And they believe in him/are super adorable.)









Chapter Fourteen: The Sensation Swept the Nation. AND OH YEAH, THE WORLD, TOO.






Chapter Fifteen: Your awesome cannot be constrained by this stupid chapter format. BACK IN THE GLORY, PEOPLE. BASK IN IT.








































HAY GUYS DID YOU KNOW THE ELECTION IS TUESDAY? CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I CAN'T BELIEVE IT. I SWEAR, I GET GOOSEBUMPS WHENEVER I SEE THIS MAN'S FACE OR HEAR HIS VOICE AND I JUST THINK, HOLY SHIT. IN TWO DAYS THIS MAN -- THIS MAN NAMED BARACK OBAMA -- COULD BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES. THE PRESIDENT. HOLY SHIT. SPAM ME WITH ANYTHING AND EVERYTHING OBAMA, PLZ. I NEED HAPPY THINGS TO HOLD ME OVER AND DISTRACT ME FROM MY CRIPPLING ANXIETY AND TOTALLY (or not so totally?) IRRATIONAL FEAR THAT THE POLLS AREN'T ENTIRELY ACCURATE. Pictures! Articles! Videos! SNL skits we've all seen 2348907 times and lolarious recaps of your favorite parts! Most memorable moments of the past couple years (oh my god, Iowa. The birth of Yes We Can and hope and oh my god, maybe this will actually happen. THE SPEECH ON RACE. Calling bullshit to all the lies and the fear mongering and general wtfuckery. That one rally in Portland that drew 75,000+ for the first time. THE KENNEDY ENDORSEMENT. OMFG ALL OF IT.)! Rants you've had bubbling within about ridiculousness on the campaign trail. LULZ, MOST HILARIOUS JOE BIDEN LINE! Favorite Michelle and Barack moment! THE LIST GOES ON AND ON AND ON AND ON. HIT ME WITH IT ALL, FOR REAL.

And oh yeah, VOTE. VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE VOTE. PLEASE. It's not a privilege, it's not just your right, it's your duty. I'm going to be ~fair and unbiased~ and not tell you who to vote for (LOLOLOL) BUT JUST VOTE, PLZ. LIKE YOUR FUTURE DEPENDS ON IT. (Because it does.)

Ten minutes since I posted it? THE PICTURES WITH MICHELLE ALMOST MAKE ME CRY!!!!! ESPECIALLY THOSE FIRST TWO. I knowwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww. I actually wanted more Michelle! But cleaning up and resizing was making me a little loopy (plus I already had way too much?) so I had to stop. BUT YES, I COMPLETELY AGREE. OMFG HER SPEECH AT THE DNC!!!!!!! REMEMBER HOW AMAZING IT ALL WAS??????? I WILL SO PIMP THIS OUT (IF IT'S NOT FRIENDS ONLY) WHENEVER I MAKE MY 'VOTE OR DIE' POST ON TUESDAY. LULZ. SWEET, GO FOR IT. It's public!

GAAAAAAAAH THESE EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS BY LIKE EIGHT BAJILLION TIMES, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS, I AM GOING TO LOOK AT IT OVER AND OVER AND OVER. Also can you do me a favor and send me/upload the bigger sizes of this and this? THANK YOU AGAIN, I AM IN LOVE. TWO DAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (oh also in terms of spamming you I want to go find my favorite quote about him ever but I am too tired right now so I will get it tomorrow.) (Reply to this) (Thread)

adinfinitum 2008-11-02 05:18 am UTC (link)

YOU'RE MORE THAN WELCOME! I can't find that Joe photo off-hand (I think I have it somewhere around here though, so when I find it I'll give it to you) but here's the Barack one. Speaking of favorite quotes, I definitely never got around to watching the roast everyone said was super funny, but I saw a clip of it on tonight's retrospective Countdown with Keith O, and his line about his best quality being his humility and his greatest weakness the fact that he may be too awesome...BEST EVER. ETA: Found the Joe photo! Here it is. Edited at 2008-11-02 06:33 am UTC (Reply to this) (Parent)

I AM IN AWE AS WELL, BECAUSE THIS MAN? I CAN'T EVEN. I literally will have these moments when I'm just dumbfounded by the fact that we're actually living through this and seeing it play out before our very eyes and that TUESDAY IS TWO DAYS AWAY. OMFG.

tendre_posion 2008-11-02 05:02 am UTC (link)

Can I just put it out there that Michelle Obama makes me incredibly proud to share my name with her? She is so intelligent, graceful, well spoken, gorgeous and is also married to one of the coolest guys on the planet. If I could wish for anything right now, I'd wish to be of voting age, and to be an America citizen. For the first time in my life, not only do I want to vote, I feel like I SHOULD vote - because lets face it, every other nation in the world is influenced by the United States, and I want my country, and the rest of the world to be influenced by a United States that is lead by Barack Obama. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	adinfinitum 2008-11-02 05:27 am UTC (link)
	This comment? MADE MY NIGHT. I'm not even kidding. Not only because it's always incredible to hear international perspectives on it, but also because I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY ABOUT MICHELLE. I mean, aside from the whole sharing her name bit. She's just such an amazing mother/wife/role model/woman in general. Everything about her is an inspiration. I LOVE IT ALL. (Reply to this) (Parent)

Can I become American, please? Just for the next few days so I can vote for this amazing man. Honestly, I was starting to get annoyed over the last few days when I realised how much more we've heard about your election than we even did about our own, but then I realised HOW MUCH MORE AWESOME Obama is than either of our candidates were. Just looking at him and realising that this could, and should, be the next president gives me goosebumps. Final note: THIS WAS WONDERFUL. He is adorable, and his family are adorable. THIS IS SO EXCITING. (Reply to this) (Thread)

adinfinitum 2008-11-03 06:45 am UTC (link)

Yeah, it's hard when a dude this awesome is completely dominating (in a peaceful, happy, hope-filled way!) hearts and minds around the world. I always find it so interesting how closely other countries watch our elections. It's both amazing and inspiring, but also sad because Americans don't even compare when it comes to following other countries' elections.
