This is fantastic! I can't wait for February when I can cast my vote for him in the TN primary. The moment I saw him speak at the Democratic convention in 2004, I knew he'd be President one day.
It's happening faster than I thought (I hope anyway), but he's the right guy at the right time to heal this country and re-establish our standing in the world.
Funny story: Over the holidays at a family-in-law gathering, an in-law came up and we started talking about the candidates, and after I said I supported Barack, and have since before his run for the Senate in IL, he asked how I could reconcile the fact that Obama is a Muslim...
Wow did that take me aback. Sure, I don't think the world, or the Muslim religion for that
matter, is ready for a Muslim leader of the free world. Until the fundamental and extremist portions of Islam can join us in the 21st Century, we all know this couldn't happen. It'll be hard enough for Mitt Romney to get elected as a Mormon, and ask me how thrilled I am at the prospect of Huckabee mobilizing the evangelicals ala 2000 and 2004...
Religious and cultural aspects aside, I simply said, "Oh, that's easy: he's not. He's a Christian and has been involved in his church for years."
It was an awkward moment, but one that proves that hayseed America will believe whatever their talking heads tell them...
