I'm watching Obama's story on MSNBC and I can't
help but to be amazed every single time I watch anything about his life story. It is simply amazing that he has made it this far. I remember being curious about him when John Kerry picked him to do the keynote address. I remember the media saying that he was a very good speaker. The night of his convention speech I immediately said , "That man will be the first African American president." I mean I felt it instantly. I had no idea that it would happen so soon though. I remember feeling so much joy in 2007 when he decided to run. I truly hope he will have an opportunity to lead this country.

1. I canvassed with a lady from Mass who met him two years ago
at a political fundraiser in MA. She said she knew immediately he was presidential material.

2. If it's over at 10:00 - switch to CNN. They'll be doing a story on Joe.
(They're currently doing the Palin part of the show)

I'm hoping to see both (as I don't have cable) on their websites eventually.

3. Yes, I'm waiting for Biden's story to come on in 14 minutes.
I would much rather watch Obama's story right now instead of Palin (gag!) LOL Hope you are able to catch Biden's special online soon.
