Does Obama winning the presidency make him suddenly hotter?

While watching Obama's acceptance speech on Tuesday night with a group of fellow twenty-something girls, I was surprised to hear from my friends' mouths not "This is a historic moment in the history of American politics," but "Look at Obama. He's practically glowing. Hey, he's actually pretty hot." Yes, it seems possible that with the election of Barack Obama as the next President of the United States, we may finally have in the White House a man worth fantasizing about.

What has changed about Obama since his days on the campaign trail? He looks less tired. His lips are less purple. His hair is less gray. Suddenly he seems vivacious and happy -- as well he should. Heck, he's nearly handsome. And this, ladies, is the true change he brings to America. Okay, not really, but let's think about it. When was the last time we had a president we could drool over? Certainly not George Bush, whom my mother calls "that monkey man." Bill Clinton? I barely knew what politics were when he was still in office. Sure, he's supposed to be suave. But can you really imagine sitting around daydreaming about that gut?

Yes, it's what Republican men feared would happen if Obama won. All us women would swoon in front of his massive black... intellect. Oh, Barack say something smart to me again!
