I was wrong about Obama... [View All]

[kentuck]

When he first ran for Senate, I did not think he could win. I had never heard of him.

And when he announced for the Presidency, there was a DUer that stood by Obama all the way. It was "wndycty". I recall some of the discussions that we had back then. I, and others, argued that America would not vote for someone with a name like Barack Hussein Obama. It was insane to think that they would. They would call him a Muslim and a terrorist and the gullible public would buy it. I was wrong.

Wndycty said, you have to hear this guy. He is not your average politician. And he(she) was right. So I will take this moment to tell wndycty that he(she) was the first person ahead of the curve, at least here on DU, that I can re-call, to praise the young, skinny politician from Chicago. He(she) has been proven right.
