Anyone else feel like you're friend was Inaugurated today?
Or do I need to get out more. :)

He doesn't seem to have the plastic-yness that the President normally has, the slightly inhuman. Seems like someone who'd recognize you if he passed you on the street, hug you and say to you, "hey! what's up!"

I haven't known (of) this man forever ..... but I cant remember when that was or what it was like.

1. Yes, friend and maybe..
...mentor, trusted advisor, a few other things.

He would sit and talk about iPods with me
and I like that!

He bridges the old and new generation. This is great.

2. Not a friend - a favorite college professor. That's what it feels like.

3. Exactly.
The Obama's very much seem like genuine people and all the fame hasn't gone to their heads.
I wish them nothing but the very best.

5. Yes, I know what you mean.
When you've spent the better part of the last two years getting to know someone and then you sincerely wish with all your heart they do well, it feels personal. Your vote,our votes got him, us there.
