One flesh, one body?
What struck me as really weird is the fact that you say everything is fine with you, and only your favourite candidate becoming president would make you happier.
See, that's what's so weird. The fact that you didn't say your wife sorting out her drinking problem would make you happier, or that your son getting his emotional balance in check would make you happier. Most people would have said that about their significant others, because their happiness is an extension of your own, not something separate. It's almost in some way as though you haven't really bonded enough with them to consider them as one flesh with you. Because their emotional distress would bother you, and you would feel their pain enough that you'd include the alleviation of that pain as one of the things that would make you happier. Not just Barak living in the White House.
