I look forward to that.

So – Barrack Obama – tasked by a weary nation with cleaning up the White House. Not the first black man in history who’s had that job. I’m so relieved I could spit. It’s been a long one. Giddying. I was up all of Tuesday night. I think it was the scallops. They were reduced, but they smelled sort of ok. They go lilac when they’re cooked, right?

People are saying that a tired Obama looks a good 2 years older now than when he began campaigning, 2 years ago. But he must be feeling energized, and I can’t wait to see what he almost manages to get done. I want to know details. Obama has so much promise but will he fulfil that promise? – and if he does, I want to know exactly how many bullets will strike him, and in which city? Not long now, I guess. But it’s the waiting…
