AIBU?
to be a little bit in love with Barak Obama?

and to say that if I ever hear any stories about him straying I'll be devastated?
He's here in Ireland on a visit today and doing a walkabout in a small town called Moneygal (where one of his ancestors came from). He just pulled a little baby from the crowd and had a cuddle and I think I swooned.
After Queen Elizabeth's successful visit last week, the thoughts were that this visit might be a bit of an anticlimax but he and his wife are so warm, it's another total success. Great for Ireland to have something to celebrate!

Obama was great, pity his visit was cut short though, but what was Enda on his speech made him sound like an over enthusiastic under 12's GAA coach, what he said was mostly great but his delivery was unusual for him. But then I was only listening to it on radio so it is possible I was missing the big picture

I'm so glad I found this thread!! I thought I was the only one who hero worships him! I'd be absolutely gutted if I discovered he'd cheated on his wife, genuinely gutted.
I saw his interview with Andrew Marr at the weekend, his trip to Ireland went brilliantly. When he lifted up that baby and gave it a cuddle I had a tear in my eye (in my defence I am pregnant).
Did anyone see him taking the piss out of Donald Trump (who I loathe)? Absolutely genius. Really shows how much of a sense of humour he has
If anyone doesn't know Donald Trump accused Obama of not being a real American and not having an American birth certificate. Trump was wanting to run for presidency and thought he could attack Obama to get it. Idiot.
Seriously, I've said it before in RL but do you think we could kidnap him to convince him he's actually British? Why can't we get politicians like him?

He is pretty lush and extremely charismatic and has a gorgeous voice and genuinely seems like a nice, thoughtful, sensitive guy.
Unlike Bill Clinton who everyone was wetting themselves over some years back when he did a smugathon visit to Ireland. Slime personified
