've never read romance novels, so what I have read from this piece has sparked curiosity even more.

I was thrilled when I heard about Grijalva. But I understand if Obama feels like he needs to look at all of his options. But Thompson is just the wrooooong direction. He brings no change to the table. I am seriously looking more closely to see where this leads us. I sincerely *HOPE* that Thompson is just a rumor. I was thrilled when I heard about Grijalva.

Also, Obama was always gentlemanly towards Hillary. That doesn't fit within their preconceived notions of how a black man is supposed to act. So he was treating them better than McCain and Joe the Plumber, therefore he is an "inadequate black male."

But I also think he asked because Obama is considered to be an intellectual. Rarely you see a president who is one. By saying that he will invite poets and jazz musician reminds of me of JFK.
