by Liz Barrett, Celebrity News Examiner

Beyonce's new album, "I am ... Sasha Fierce," will drop November 18, but today what's she's excited about is politics. She told PopEater:

Everyone is excited and it's time. I feel like we have grown so much as a nation and we will continue to grow because of Mr. Obama."

Beyonce's admiration extends to the whole Obama family:

I have had the pleasure of meeting Mr. Obama, his wife and his children, and they are the American dream. They are so elegant, so classy, so intelligent and everything that I want to be. They make me really proud of my country."
