Change

Lucas Obama 
Let me explain this photo.  Yesterday morning I grabbed my morning coffee and went to the CBC website to listen to the acceptance speech from President Obama.  We don't have cable TV and since I like to know what's going on in the world, the computer is my only porthole to political events.  It was playing on the PC when Lucas walked up and asked me, "Who is that Mom?"  I explained to him that it was President Obama - the new President of the United States of America.  "Oh... i see" he replied.  "Can i watch it?" Sure,  I thought... no harm in that.  Well, I was shocked to see that my three year old could sit still for an entire 17 minutes and literally hang on the words of Barack Obama's victory speech.  Every time the crowd cheered and clapped, Lucas cheered and clapped.  When Obama exclaimed, "Yes we can" Lucas responded with "Yes we can".   


I believe this man to have a gift of speech, that's all i can say.  What kind of President is this, that has been able to captivate my three year old?
