John Berman has been at ABC since 1995, and allowed to appear on television since 2001. He covered the 2008 campaign extensively, following John McCain and Mitt Romney during the primaries and then Barack Obama in the general election. He also spent more than 20 months chasing George W. Bush around the country as a producer from 1999 until 2001, earning the clever nickname, "Pain in the Ass," from our 43rd president. He is a frequent and sometimes welcome contributor to all of ABC's broadcasts.

Caffeine and Chest Hair
January 20, 2009 10:08 AM
The President-elect just arrived at the White House for the morning coffee with President and Mrs. Bush. A colleague of mine observed that everyone there seems to be clamoring to say hello to Michelle Obama. She is the most popular person there.
If you were Barack Obama this morning, how much coffee would you drink? The caffeine could give you a little boost for what must be a long day. But I suppose you would want to be careful not to have too much...if you know what I mean.
I just saw the strangest inauguration commercial, and I have no idea what it was about because the volume was off. Harrison Ford was getting his chest hair ripped off by duct-tape or something. I am sure there is an important connection between Harrison Ford's chest hair and the peaceful transition of power. Really.

I just saw this on twitter from @seriouseats: "NBC says "Barack Obama does not drink coffee." Really? Did we miss that somewhere during the campaign? How does he get up/keep going?"
Is it a faux pas to quote NBC on the ABC blog? Sorry, John.

The chest hair thing WAS ODD!! I think there was some environmental connection but I was too weirded out by the chest hair to be sure.

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness." . . . that is, except those in the womb. I pray for those innocents, as President Obama takes office.
