I was thinking today about our new President and all the usual jazz about the historic-ocity of the moment. This morning I told Amelia (who is 4 months old today) that she would get to grow up under an Obama presidency and she smiled and giggled at me. This evening I was thinking back to the first time I heard of this guy with a funny name. It was at the 2004 Democratic Convention. I still remember the feeling I got from listening to him; it was awe inspiring. The first thing that came to mind was JFK. I'm not sure if it was the youth and energy, or the inspiring language. In his speech he introduced the US and the world to Barack Obama. I recall talking with friends about how amazing this person is and that he should be President. Now he is.
