11. She is what turned me towards him. I read an article on his family some time...
...back. I think it may have been from the Chicago Tribune. Anyway, the article was more about his family. About his mother and grandparents. It went into how many who knew his mother, considered her one of the original modern feminists. From that article, I discovered she had been a cultural anthropologist. It hit me then and there. As low as our standing is in the world, and how many countries out there that hate us, I couldn't think of a better candidate than the son of a cultural anthropologist.

16. Goosebumps & Chills.. and even a couple of tears
and i'm not the crying type AT ALL. Wow.. if there was every a quick 2 minute dive into Obama's true character... that's it, in a nutshell.

This needs to be sent to every person who sits on the fence.. and likes Obama's policies, but are not sure about him because he's "black" or they are concerned about his "character". I think that would nip it in the bud quicker then anything else can.. because this was written long before Obama was even able to think about running for president.

21. YouTube seems to attract a high percentage of comments from freaks.
Not sure why that is, but they are all over the place over there.

22. There freepers reaction is only so strong as the clip is very powerful. It should be an ad really.>

His fight for healthcare is in tribute to his mother who may of been alive today with the needed help good healthcare can bring. Maybe moveon can work in conjuction with his book company to use it.
