After reading Tony Blair discuss his anguish over Godly sign-offs as prime minister, it was weird to hear President Obama say to the House Dems (who he has to be ticked at after the partisan stimulus vote) “I love you guys,” as his speech-ender.

Have I ever heard the president do such a thing? Of course, we all know that George W. Bush didn’t have a heart (even if he had one going in, Dick Cheney ripped it out before inauguration day), so I guess it would have been hard for him to love anyone.
