Fans began lining up four hours before Obama's con --, er, speech, Meek reported late Tuesday afternoon in the D.C. bureau's always entertaining "Mouth of the Potomac" blog.

"Agency workers began lining up at noon for a chance to see the rock star of public life. And when Obama entered the room, a cheer exploded that was as shrill and ear-piercing as it was long: about 80 seconds. Think the Beatles, Michael Jackson, Mick and the boys. Definitely not George W. Bush."

Okay, so Meek drove into a generation gap. Think Myley Cyrus, the Jonas Brothers, Kanye West.

Susan Boyle.

Squeals.

"The mostly African-American CIA workers leapt out of their seats, some waving copies of the President's books. One woman even hoisted what appeared to be a huge amateur portrait painting of the first black President, which she later tried to get autographed," Meek wrote.

It was a little bizarre.

"To see the crowd greeting President Obama ... you wouldn't know that he had just released dozens of pages of Justice Department legal memos authorizing abusive interrogations of terrorists," Meek cracked.
