POPSDamn he's got a fabulous smile. I'm not even going to start talking politics and I'm not in the mood to read anyone else's opinion but you know, comment away. But Barack Obama has one of the best smiles ever.

POPSNYT op-ed piece on Obama's speech on race I thought, this is a pretty good op-ed piece about Obama's speech on Tuesday. I thought he spoke about things that people are afraid to really acknowledge & discuss. As a society we tend to forget about the perspectives of others, because everyone is so caught up in their own experiences (of course). But maybe this will open up passionate and heated discussions on the American experience, which is varied & as diverse as the people who make up this country.

POPSOp Ed. - WSJ - Splits within parties more apparent... with Super Tuesday come and gone, I have been a bit nervous about how ugly this election with get...especially amongst the Democrats. I thought this was an interesting piece from the Wall Street Journal. Today everyone has been extremely passionate about this election. 8 years of crap and now "we" have to decide who should be our next leader. People have said "I hope those people who wanted to vote for Clinton/Obama don't decide to stay at home in November because Clinton/Obama did not win the nomination." That is one fear. Now, it will get ugly and people will be turned off. That is my second.
