While this is awesome, this is covered on the TV News, so it does fall within what the rules consider off-topic. But threads like this have come up rarely enough (one previous Obama thread?), that the rules can be broken.

Go Obama.

>Off-Topic: Most stories about politics, or crime, or sports, unless they're evidence of some interesting new phenomenon. Videos of pratfalls or disasters, or cute animal pictures. If they'd cover it on TV news, it's probably off-topic.

Though I guess Obama is kind of an interesting new phenomenon, but probably not new to anyone here.

Yeah...however, the outcome of the presidential election would deserve to be on the front page.
