I’m really very extremely exceedingly freaked out over the economy.  It’s affecting my work in a catastrophic way.  I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep my apartment.

The only time I get optimistic is when I hear President Obama speak.  Did you watch that speech last week?

This is a seriously ambitious, smart, and determined guy.  Listening to him I get the feeling that if ANYONE can help us find our way out of this mess, it’s him.  I really think he might have greatness in him.  I sure hope so, don’t you?
