22. He is telling the truth about how the government really works and is letting the people know the "ins and outs" of law-making and budget writing through his transparency.

23. Recovery.gov, Change.gov, Transition.gov.....

24. He extended unemployment benefits---which will help a lot of out of work people- including my sister and my cousin.

25. A little black girl  in South Carolina sent him a letter and he not only read it but invited her to Washington to watch his speech to Congress in the First Lady's Box.

Add your own "what I like"s to the list.

This just in: "The Obama administration moved Friday to undo a last-minute Bush administration rule granting broad protections to health workers who refuse to take part in abortions or provide other health care that goes against their consciences." Stout, New York Times. Another reason I like Obama. He supports women's human rights.

He comes from a multi-ethnic/multi-racial rich background that includes Asia and Africa.

His cabinet represents the rainbow.

He has a hapa sister and an Asian American brother-in-law, which is why we always see Asian looking folks during the key public moments in his life.

He loves his mother-in-law and with her, there's three generations living together in the white house.

He's slightly afraid of his wife.

He chose to work with folks on the South of Chicago instead of stiffs on the Upper East side of Manhattan.

He plays a mean game of B-Ball.

He has a great sense of humor and is quick to laugh.

He is fine and sexy as hell!

Everytime he looks at Michelle and his girls his love is written all over his face
