Erin Go Bragh! Barack O'bama for President. To make that even better, his dad is a Kenyan native, his step-dad Indonesian giving him a 1/2 sister. Growing up in Hawaii, he knows people from many cultures. Almost tailor made for a diverse nation of hyphenated US citizens of diverse ancestry. Plus I like the work he has done, especially on behalf of homeless Iraqi war vets. Quite smart or wise and has a strong female partner in Michelle.
