Monday, January 19th, 2009

Welcome to the Obama Generation! Never in my life have I had such interest in politics and the presidential election before Obama came into the picture. He has become a symbol for change. I love how much he affects and inspires the nation. Just look at the impact it made upon friends on facebook:
