I think this kind of is the political thread at this point. As far as Barack, I like what I have heard from him so far, and would vote for him based on what I know today if it was time for the election. At the same time, I'm glad we have a lot more time to learn more. I also want to read Audacity of Hope, but haven't yet. I actually put in a request to get it from the library last night. There are 61 holds on it ahead of me! He is certainly stirring up interest in this country for that many people to be waiting to get a copy of the book to read at one county's library.

I hope he's the real deal, because we could certainly use some changes, and I like a lot of what he says. He doesn't sound like the typical politician just trying to get elected.
