1. Our President says things like "Sure you can have my number, baby," and "You ain't my bitch, nigger -- buy your own damn fries."
2. That reminded me of this great story that came up in the early days of his presidential campaign. A male reporter publicly complained on his website that Obama had embarrassed him in front of a female reporter he had a crush on -- first by mistaking him for a college student who didn't belong in the press corps, then by explaining it was because he had such a "baby face." Obama found out about the reporter's web post, called him up, and "apologize[d] for messing up your game" -- you have to listen to this audio recording of the phone conversation.
3. Did you know that you wouldn't find his speeches so inspiring if he weren't black? Or a smoker?
(Happy Presidents' Day. Presidents are just people.)
