I wonder how Obama is feeling today?
Do you think he managed to get any sleep last night?
I know we all have work pressures and get nervous before presentations/pitches/important meetings etc but really, how on earth must Obama be feeling as the final countdown kicks in? Do you think he has managed to eat breakfast? Is his stomach OK?
What if he has a migraine!
With so much resting on HIM today, I hope he got the full 8 hours and feels chipper.
Do you think he has coping strategies - sport perhaps or maybe his family? How does he stop his golden feathers from ruffling or falling out even?
There are undoubtedly a huge number of cogs that propel the glittering Obama wheel so at least he isn’t a one-man-band, trundling along; according to the Guardian for example, Obama has not solely crafted his Inauguration Speech (hmm):
Whether he has let a 27 year old ‘dude’ craft the most seminal speech in American history remains questionable – personally, I think Obama would be foolish to rely on ‘yoofy aides’ so early in his career. In fact, I imagine this story is complete tosh – surely?
Say it ain’t so O!
Do you think that deep down (when he isn’t thinking about other things and has a rare frivolous moment) Obama is excited about being the hottest guy on the political world stage? That is of course, until he decides to take on the genocide in Darfur and is joined by George Clooney, who’s 2006 speech to the UN Security Council Members went a little bit like this:
“Make no mistake it is the first genocide of the 21st century. This genocide will be on your watch. How you deal with it will be your legacy, your Rwanda, your Cambodia, your Auschwitz,”
Serious stuff and I hope Obama does intervene but back to my fluffier point…
Obama scrubs up really well, he is a man of clean lines, effortless grace and at just over 6 foot, he simply glides, evoking a consistent, ‘man at work meets Tommy Hilfiger photoshoot’ chic.
Annie Leibovitz’s study of Obama for Men’s Vogue being my favourite example of this – even his kids look picture perfect and in no way like they are about to hammer their sticky-jam fingers on the Presidential keyboard:
It is indeed a welcome break from the kind of iconography that Bush has left for the history books:
And I for one, cannot wait til 4pm today. Bring it on O.
