Respecting the Game
(updated below)
There are a lot of reasons to like Barack Obama. He's a great public speaker. He taught constitutional law at the University of Chicago. He has a cool name.
But the best reason, perhaps, is that he don't playa hate.
After learning he had inadvertently cockblocked a young man, Obama felt so broken up about it he had to call and apologize. (Which tells you all you need to know about this presidential candidate.)

UPDATE
In case you didn't hear, Obama made an important announcement on Monday Night Football last night.

Obama: Nicholas, this is Barack Obama.You can listen to it at "Wait Wait...Don't Tell Me!"
Nicholas Lovelady: Hey, how's it going?
Obama: Man, I am calling to publicly apologize for messin' up your game. I felt terrible. I didn't know there were any ladies around. I just wanted to let you know that I'm deeply sorry. But if she was that superficial, then she wasn't for you.
Lovelady: (chuckles) Well, I really appreciate it.
Obama: Well okay, man. Bye bye.

OK, I am now impressed. Even if he did it because he figger'd his future voters were listening on NPR (as I am sure was the case,) it's both clever and cute as hell.
You guys may have something here.
Now, all I have to do is convert him over to Libertarianism.
