It is an amazing time to be alive! With fear, happiness and a courage unparalled, I am proud to celebrate the 44th President of the United States, Barack Obama. Already I’ve had quite a few perks to Mr. President being black, in charge and on his way to the office. Yes, we can…

Presidential seating on the A train: Waking up this morning to go to work, it had already hit me the night before that our president is black… But without a blue lambo, I had to ride the blue line on the train. If you ever been on the train in Bed-Stuy in the morning, you know you’ll be in for a long ride if you don’t get a seat. Thanks to Mr. President, as soon as I walked in the four white folks who were nearest to me, not only made a pathway for me to sit down, but patted me on the back as if I was the commander-in-chief.

Girls All Around The World Smile: I know, I know, I know… Mr. Single in the City can’t just pass up a pretty face. But it was more interesting to see how many couldn’t pass up spreading their love (keep your minds out the gutter, folks…) for how much they’re happy to see a black man in charge and handling his business. Now, I’ve always been one who knew how to work, which served as a turn-on to the ladies — working for GIANT Magazine doesn’t hurt either. But now the girls of all colors and creeds look at yours truly and say, “Yes, we can!”

A Commander-in-Chief Pay Raise: I guess some dreams are still just dreams…

A Presidential Pardon: After working hours upon hours to bring you the latest in what’s going on around the world and the Internet, exhaustion was bound to set in. After I rode in my own personal Air Force One, I made it into work before the other heads of state, thereby granting me a presidential pardon upon my own dalliances with tardiness.

….With all of these perks on behalf of the Obama/Biden campaign, I still don’t have a few things that he’s very blessed to have… A first lady, perhaps. But until then, on behalf of GIANT Magazine and yours truly, congratulations to Barack and Michelle Obama!
