A friend of mine e-mailed this to me yesterday, and it’s had me glowing ever since. Her close family friend, Stephanie, lives in Montgomery County, PA, and met Obama on Wednesday in a local ShopRite. In her words:
Me and [my daughter] met Barack Obama in Shop Rite in East Norriston today! We shook his hand. I told him [my daughter] was half African like him. He touched her hair and said 'look at all that hair!' On the way home I was calling my brother telling him about it and my daughter started shouting MOMMY. I asked what she wanted and she said, "I saw Barack Obama." It was so very cute!! I couldn't stop laughing! I came right home and video taped her talking about it!
This adorable little angel is 1/2 Liberian, 1/4 Italian and the other quarter is “mismashed European.” Stephanie and her daughter demonstrate that embodiment of the American dream that is really living inside of every American. We just need a President who can bring it out.
Ryan...thank you. You writing is beautiful. I have great hope for the future of this country and this world.
