Change has come to America! Just a day after becoming the first black president of the U.S., President Barack Obama is single-handedly vanquishing sadness. That's because today is National Hugging Day and the most huggable person in the country is—drum roll, please—Barack Obama. AND his family. We're sure they'll be making another appearance on National Fist Bump Day—or Fisting Day (at the 1:50 mark), to some—but it must be awesome being the subject of more than 300 million people's affection just 24 hours after being hired for a job. I fired off a mass instant message to my buddy list to get some other celebrities that have that touch, that feel. Frankly, I am convinced I have some very strange friends:
