@Tuckerfan

Obama’s a bacon man! (One minute into the clip you can hear Michelle say she gets most of her protein from bacon!)

Like Gyrate, I thought the list would have more items like:

• Chuck Norris calls him Mister President-Elect!

@CaerieD

If I remember correctly, in some interview or another he stated that he had read all of the books, out loud, to his daughters,

Obama is half-black and Obama is intellectual. My guess: he read them aloud in a movie theater.

From Newsweek:

The guy is a total nerd.

I want a picture of said buckle. :mad:

I call BS on the ice cream thing. First of all, Michelle said he convinced her to date him by taking her for ice cream. Second, his favorite flavor is supposedly mint chip.

Second, his favorite flavor is supposedly mint chip.

Is “mint chip” some bizarre regional way of saying “mint chocolate chip”?

If so, I somehow knew he was a devotee of The One True Flavor.

I like Repo Man and I like blue cheese. I am warming to this family already. Do you think we will hear more of them ?

If he read the Harry Potter books, doesn’t that put him in league with the devil and witchcraft and sorcery, according to some fringe elements of the more informed of the religious fundamentalists?

Yeah, but they would never vote for him anyways.

Obama has never read the Constitution, he just stared it down until it gave him the information.

He’s been immortalized in nano-scale art.

A University of Michigan professor has created 3-D portraits of the president-elect that are smaller than a grain of salt. He calls them “nanobamas.”

John Hart, an assistant professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, made the mini-Barack Obama likenesses with his colleagues to raise awareness of nanotechnology and science.

Each one contains about 150 million carbon nanotubes stacked vertically like trees in a forest. A carbon nanotube is an extraordinarily strong hollow cylinder about 1/50,000th the width of a human hair.
