...Phwoar, I'd let that Obama give me one?

I feel terrible. I'm meant to be mature, educated, a good role model for my daughter, and the entire time he was speaking my over-riding urge was to tell Bloke, 'Ooh, I would'.

Ffreckle will be cruising watching the news channels for the rest of the evening...

I used to think he was a bit skinny but the other day the Torygraph helpfully printed a photo of him in swimshorts and he did look very fine.

AmIOdetteOrOdile · 21/01/2009 12:03

And what was with Michelle swapping the hands she was holding when she wanted to wave to the other side during the walkabout?

tiredsville · 21/01/2009 12:29

YANBU, I become all 'white van man' and think cor I'd give you one darling.

mygreatauntgriselda · 21/01/2009 12:44

indeed rarebreed!

Where does one get a man like that??????????

Maybe he will act as an international role model and men generally will improve as a result LOL!!

(think: "yeah, in my dreams")

rarebreed · 21/01/2009 12:55

i'd never given him a second glance before i saw his speech yesterday afternoon

Now that's what I call an Afro-disiac

(Not my type, I'm just having a Glenda Slagg moment )

Gateau · 21/01/2009 15:19

Yep, he's pretty nice. I was just thinking that yesterday.
Gorgeous smile; very important to me.

eandz · 21/01/2009 17:01

has everyone looked at the link i've posted? if you haven't you should.

HarktheheraldAnglepoise · 21/01/2009 17:19

I did

I then spent a happy half hour on youtube watching various bits of election-inspired silliness and then I'm fucking Matt Damon

eandz · 21/01/2009 18:06

good, at least one person saw it.

your fucking matt damon? how is he?

mygreatauntgriselda · 21/01/2009 19:37

I saw the link !!!

obama is very sexy IMO. looks great when he smiles, has a lovely voice and seems (time will tell) such a decent bloke. Ive also got my eye on Rahm Emmanuel, his Chief of Staff, as i think he's got a hint of Robert Downey Jnr about him.

cant imagine fancying 2 people within the same govt in the same decade! anyway, inappropiate lech over!

WinkyWinkola · 21/01/2009 20:49

Barack is amazing. He's handsome and intelligent. Swoon.

I really hope he doesn't mess up in the same way Clinton did because he's definitely going to have lots of admirers in the biblical sense!

mooseloose · 22/01/2009 12:03

The video was really nice - made me smile - photos of it are in the papers today. They looked really glamerous!

lingle · 22/01/2009 15:11

Winky - hopefully he realises that he's only got "it" so long as he doesn't do a Clinton.

So hands off all of you with dishonourable intentions!

RoPoPa · 22/01/2009 17:09

Michelle's very sexy too. You can just imagine what was going on in the White House last night: "Hey baby, wanna make it with the President?" and that grin...

MamaHobgoblin · 22/01/2009 18:45

I spent most of tuesday afternoon thinking I'd like to give him one! Wish I'd seen this thread earlier. Am reading his book at the mo - handsome, intelligent and socially motivated - does it for me!

jane48 · 22/01/2009 20:05

Please could someone enlighten me as to what DS and DH mean? I am new to this site and a little green.... I am really enjoying it though and these blogs always make me chuckle!
And yes..... I definitely would!!

Haribosmummy · 22/01/2009 21:41

But, you see, none of you ever could shag him... cos that would mean he wasn't the upstanding, wife loving, socially motivated, intelligent president he is...

AND that's why it's so alluring - it's a dream..

If he actually came on to you - Bill Clinton Styleeeeee - you'd be soooooo disappointed..

Honestly, I have a point! What makes him so attractive is that he's unattainable.

Will306 · 22/01/2009 22:31

Black Gary Lineker?
He looks like an Egyptian Herman Munster.
His head is shaped like a dodecahedron.

midgetbombsal · 23/01/2009 16:40

Anyone seen his speech writer? Also a hottie...

Ripeberry · 23/01/2009 16:45

When he was giving his speech, had to keep reminding myself that it's real and not an American blockbuster film!

LittleMadeline · 24/01/2009 12:25

I think he's nice looking too...not sure if I 'would' though you know.

I am so sad, I bought 2 copies of the Times with the commemorative pull-out just to put in DD & DS' keepsake boxes, and DS is only 11 months.
