Presidential Material?

There's a wonderful article in the NYTimes about Sen. Obama's childhood. You can find it at: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/us/politics/14obama.html?hp

This picture (of Barack and his mother) reminds me of the passe montra often expressed when I was child: "study your lessons, work hard, and anyone can grow up to be president." It was the Lincoln-legacy, the ultimate American dream...but who actually thought it was true?

Apparently, Stanley Ann Dunham Soetoro (Barack's mother) did.

One more reason to support his candidacy.
