Obama's a Barackstar
I may have mentioned this before, but one of my life goals is to shake hands with a President of the United States of America (or POTUS, as West Wing calls them). Well, I think I put a pretty solid investment in the bank when I got to shake Barack Obama's hand in Dallas last November.
As if his address to the DNC in '04 wasn't good enough, his keynote speech at Call to Renewal has me wondering not if he'll win, but just how much he'll win by when he decides to run.

It's not likely that he'll run in '08 (although I, and many others are holding our breath). But when he does, it'll be Hail to the Chief.

Wow, looks like you called it! Happened onto your blog when searching for info about those little red bugs on my tomato plants... you answered my exact question and I will not be squirting them with the garden hose now! And by the way, you're so right about the garden/life metaphors, I marvel at them all the time. But it's your uncanny prediction about Barack Obama that I'm actually commenting about. I hadn't even heard of him before he decided to run. YOU on the other hand not only knew of him but that America would find their next leader as soon as they go to know him too. Nice call! Go Barack!
