I haven't been this happy since a football team that I don't care about won this year's Super Bowl. At first, I didn't know what was going on with me. I even spoke to a couple of doctors who encouraged me to track a list of my symptoms. As I thought about my month, I've realized I can't stop engaging random African-Americans in conversation. And then it hit me--I've succumbed to Obama Fever.

If you or someone you know is experiencing the following symptoms, it is likely that a diagnosis of Obama Fever is in order.

Ten Symptoms of Obama Fever

10. Only dating girls named Hope.

9. Your crappy cover band added Sweet Home Alobama and We Will Barack You to its set list.

8. Cannot pass a black person without winking at them.

7. Refute girlfriend's hesitancy to participate in demeaning sexual activities with a refrain of "Yes, We Can!"

6. Consistently use your friend's jokes at parties, but point out that your relationship with your friend entitles you to use the joke.

5. Acknowledge that you weren't proud of your husband's employer until they made him CEO.

4. Telling your friends that you didn't vote for Taylor Hicks in American Idol, you didn't support him from day one and knew he'd get dropped by his label.

3. You not only denounce Obama Girl, but openly denounce and reject Obama Girl just to please your female co-worker who believes her experience entitles her to a promotion.

2. Argued your virginity is the best way to guarantee a satisfying sexual experience.

1. Now referring to your Viagra as "Fired Up, Ready to Go" pills.
