Have you seen the video from a couple of years back of Obama roasting him?
It's amazing on multiple levels, and includes the line "Seriously, has he ever waved that stubby little thing at you?"

Yeah, I have.

Like I don't even have words for how fucking awesomely bemused I am.

I realize this is a rare occurrence for you, but in this case, you are far from the only one ;)

So much win! *So happy* He's the most badass Jew in America.

I start to get government-envy.

He's a hot guy, too.

[rm.livejournal.com]

He totally is. And I love the way he dresses. Color! Modern fashion! In the White House!

Dancer? Banter with the President? Is the guy married?

Rahm!

Shut off the internet. There is nothing greater here.

Y'know, this is the first administration to not only get something like this, but be likely to have it on their own computers.

LOLbama?

"“Well, I was going to do that, but I didn’t want Rahm to mope for a half-hour.”"

Ha ha ha this killed me!

They talk to each other like a TV buddy-cop team! XD How great is that?

My mother sent me this. I think you'll approve:

Introducing the new White House Staff.

So far we have: Rahm Emanuel - Chief of Staff - Jewish
David Axelrod - Senior Advisor to the President - Jewish
Ronald Klain - Chief of Staff to the VP - Jewish
Larry Summers - Economic Advisor to the President - Jewish
Paul Volcker - Economic Advisor to the President, Former Head of Fed Reserve - Jewish
Tim Geithner - Treasury Secretary - Jewish
Peter Orszag - Head of Budget - Jewish

Am I the only one noticing that Obama and Biden are not so much assembling staff, as gathering a minyan?

That's hilarious. And I had no idea!

Does the Constitution count towards the ten?

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Is it really necessary to make Joe The Plumber look *completely* stupid for the next four to eight years?
Oh, wait....forget I asked.

I'm totally on the Rahm Wagon.

At the moment I'm looking for some wagon-sized chrome rims with which to pimp the Rahm Wagon... and some very loud speakers.

He is pretty awesome.

In meetings, it is not uncommon for Mr. Obama and Mr. Emanuel to engage in teasing banter. One White House official recalls an exchange last week in which Mr. Obama said something to the effect of, “Well, I was going to do that, but I didn’t want Rahm to mope for a half-hour.”

The RPS has started to write itself.

RIGHT!?!?!?!

It's completely insane. I thought the Torchwood cast had cornered the market on fan service, but apparently they left some for our AWESOMETASTIC NEW LEADERS.

What the hell?

[amberite.livejournal.com]

Is it my imagination, or was that NYT article slashy? Just a wee bit?

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Maaaaaybeeee!

[stardragonca.livejournal.com]

Mr. Obama credited him with being “the first to adopt Machiavelli’s ‘The Prince’ for dance”
OMFG! It's true. Your President is a Geek!
I am particularly loving your country right now.

[nex0s.livejournal.com]

He totally is. He even collects comics. *happy sigh*
