Judith Warner
I launched an e-mail inquiry. And learned that they were. Often, in strikingly similar ways.
Many women — not too surprisingly — were dreaming about sex with the president. In these dreams, the women replaced Michelle with greater or lesser guilt or, in the case of a 62-year-old woman in North Florida, whose dream was reported to me by her daughter, found a fully above-board solution: “Michelle had divorced Barack because he had become ‘too much of a star.’ He then married my mother, who was oh so proud to be the first lady,” the daughter wrote me.

We’ll see. Unicorns still on back order.

What I find most amusing is not that she dreamt about him in the shower (eww, TMI, even though her description isn’t disgusting or anything) but that she felt perfectly fine, after reflection, admitting her dream in front of all her colleagues.
“Gee, should I include a dream in my serious-writer column about POTUS in the shower? Sure, why not?” LOL

I do not blame Ms. Warner one bit. Black men are so powerful and virile and endowed. It’s no wonder she, and like-minded women cannot resist them. I think she and others would do the nation proud to bear more bi-racial white/black children. In fact, one might say it’s their civic duty. Babies for Barack, future foot-soldiers for the struggle. Brings a tear to my eye. Impregnate yourself now Ms. Warner with Barack-like sperm.

Hmm. Like?
I know that’s what I’m looking for in a husband. Someone that I can publicly emasculate, with no risk of backtalk.
Yep. Sounds like a perfectly healthy relationship to me!

How many men were dreaming about sex with Sarah Palin? (Runs for cover)

The NYT kills trees to print this crap?
Shame

Journalism as a profession is officially dead.

Well they’re about get screwed by pres. obortion and not in the way they envisioned.

Wtf was the point of this dribble?
I could eat a can of alphabet soup and crap out a better column
Sugarbuzz on February 7, 2009 at 10:13 AM
They can just forget about it — Chris Matthews has the bedroom door locked and bolted behind him, and nobody else is getting in. Not even the other swooning Times’ columnists like Frank Rich.
jon1979 on February 7, 2009 at 10:17 AM
I have the same dream every time a Democrat gets elected President. In the dream, I lecture them about economics and tax policy, using all kinds of charts and graphs to make my point. Just when they seem on the verge of getting it, I wake up to stuff like Clinton’s huge tax hike and Obama’s “stimulus” plan and scream.
venividivici on February 7, 2009 at 10:17 AM
My God, no wonder there are so few conservative comedians. These people make parody obsolete.
Darth Executor on February 7, 2009 at 10:17 AM
Sickening.

I’m scared to even look at this.
vcferlita on February 7, 2009 at 10:24 AM
I really don’t wish any harm on the president, but the only way I would dream of Obama in the shower, is if we were at the Bates Motel.

If Ms. Warner is reading, perhaps you can do a follow-up with homosexual men. Think of it as polling for Obama’s re-erection. Oops.
JiangxiDad on February 7, 2009 at 10:40 AM
No way am I going to read this. WTF has happened to women?
I am ashamed to be one.
Ellen on February 7, 2009 at 10:42 AM
They’re genetically female, not women.

Ew.
When did the NYT become Cosmo?
herrevery on February 7, 2009 at 10:54 AM
Not me. However, I wil admit to closely observing a certain Dallas Cowboy cheerleader whenever possible, but without anything specific in mind.

I must be older than I thought. Yuck!
Cindy Munford on February 7, 2009 at 10:57 AM
I had a dream that Obama was using a giant piece of pork to anally rape America. Then I realized I wasn’t asleep.
Ars Moriendi on February 7, 2009 at 10:58 AM
This has to be a heavy handed attempt at humor gone wrong.
jeanie on February 7, 2009 at 10:59 AM
AAaack! I would get myself to some confessional counsellor or similar if ever I had such a dream. AAAack, I’d wake up horrified at the very idea.
By comparison, last night, I dreamed I had a jar of sorts in my hand that contained some salty or grainy-type beads in the bottom part of it, and it was the way to grow trees.
I wondered, in the dream, how I could grow trees, what with the place so dark, not much sun, and when I looked up after shaking this jar thing I was holding, there was a great big ray of sun shining through the darkness, landing at my feet.
So it was a good dream and I woke up feeling very rested. Had it had Obama in it in ANY way, I’d have woken up midsleep in a bolt of horror.

And the Times prints this crap? I think THIS is representative of Obama Derangement Syndrome…

andycanuck on February 7, 2009 at 12:21 PM
Probably quite a few, but most of them have the good sense not to waste precious space in a dying newspaper to talk about it.
ddrintn on February 7, 2009 at 12:28 PM
IANAPsychologist, but if I recall correctly, one theory of dreams holds that if you are having sex with someone in your dream, the “someone” isn’t who they are in real life; your dream lover represents some aspect of yourself that you are trying to integrate into the rest of your personality.
In other words, these women (and men) are really dreaming about themselves and using the image of Obama as a projection for that aspect… hmm, where have we heard something similar?
My $0.02…
Mary in LA on February 7, 2009 at 12:38 PM
Okay, this is mental illness. Not kidding.
I’m not saying the dream part, but the writing-an-article-for-the-newspaper part.
I mean, dayamn.
“Dear New York Times, I’ve read these stories in your paper for years, but I never thought something like this would happen to me…”
It’s like the “beltway reality” has become some sort of twisted alternate reality. Any day now, Iowahawk will have to come out with a series of parodies of beltway life, each of which depicts how a normal person would act.
Merovign on February 7, 2009 at 1:17 PM
Is there any wonder why liberals don’t have a freaking clue on how to deal with reality and real world situations.
Apparently from this column,they don’t spend any time in reality.
They daydream and fantasize about their liberal icons.
These people are just scary stupid.
Baxter Greene on February 7, 2009 at 1:34 PM
How crazy and worthless are all these people? How much self-esteem do they possess?
I need a second shower today.

Chrissy Matthews vision problem explained. That and his sprained wrist.
viking01 on February 7, 2009 at 2:43 PM
ROFL!
Actually, I think that is how they actually do it at the NYT.
By the time Obama’s first (and hopefully only) term ends, I think we are all going to feel as though we had sex with Obama.
The man is going to screw us all.

Dave R. on February 7, 2009 at 2:45 PM
No kidding! The media has declared the man attractive and we are all suppose to dutifully agree. Politics aside I’m just not seeing it. He does absolutely nothing for me. The same goes for his supposedly spell-binding rhetorical skills. I don’t hear what these people are hearing.
Renae on February 7, 2009 at 3:12 PM
Steele needs to become the anti-One, or anti-Messiah, in appearance, humanity, anti-dreams, anti-imaginations, and especially anti-halucinations.
There is something very untoward about this ‘Obama-love’.
It will invariably turn to exhaustion and disillusion, especially when the ejaculation will turn out to be wanting.
Entelechy on February 7, 2009 at 3:35 PM
Jim Jones and the People’s Temple come to mind.
Baxter Greene on February 7, 2009 at 4:00 PM
I think these gals misread the downlow on Le Petit Prince Barry.
Sorry ladies.
