[/QUOTE] I dunno. Maybe if he had white hair, and was more gouty. Obama looks like the kinda guy who stands just a little too close to you. Obama looks like the kinda guy who doesn’t get the joke, but laughs anyway. Obama looks like the kinda guy who tells a joke, and then explains why its so funny. ---

Barack Obama does not look like the type of guy who would give his wife a dutch oven, but he does, and thinks it’s hilarious. He’s also the type of person who rips a huge one and wipes out the room but manages to turn it into a joke wherein instead of being disgusted, you’re also laughing and going, “Damn, Barack, that was a good one, you really got me that time, I had my mouth open and everything!” (He does have a [wicked](http://www.notthenation.com/pages/news/getnews.php?id=430) [gas problem](http://thecaucus.blogs.nytimes.com/2007/09/06/tales-from-the-obamas-bedroom/), so it’s not a huge leap.) ---
