His mama's from Kansas.

His daddy's from Kenya or Nigeria.

He thanked his pastor first and his wife second on Election night, and then brought out his kids and his blond sister and Asian brother-in-law and their newborn baby to join the party.

I swooned, and look forward to swooning again.
 

Did you know he grew up in Hawaii?
I've read the memoirs.
 

okay, so now i know it's obama. usually you are in the actor/actress mode for eye q and my brain didn't jump over to politician.
 

I thought I'd do equal time next week with Tom DeLay.
 

okay, i will program my brain to think outside the entertainment box....of course politicians are sometimes entertaining, unless you are having to represent them in court.:)
 

This may be better suited to the bragging topic, but I recognized Obama imediately. ^_^
 

so endub, when are we getting some artwork?
 

If it makes the, um, more mature people feel better, I have no idea what Hopalong Cassidy looks like, and couldn't with confidence tell you what he did (cowboy actor?)
 

Hopalong Cassidy (real name Bill Boyd) was a cowboy in the movies of my childhood. And you're right to point out the "mature" issue, because normally, the Eye Q selections range from old cowboys to 1970s sitcom characters.
 

i stole a hopalong cassidy golden book from the drug store next to the theater in fyffe, alabama when i was 4 years old. i was allowed to leave the theater alone to go buy a milkshake, but instead i stole the book. what my parents were thinking one can only imagine, but i was supposedly mature for my age of 4.:)
 

Ah, the life of crime emerges. How much time did you serve?
I probably would have stolen Roy Rogers instead. I stole a plastic harmonica when I was six or seven, but I replaced it with the harmonica I had bought the week before, which had gotten full of dirt from being left outside.
Re oldtime cowboys, Larry Walker told me a funny story about Lash LaRue coming to Perry. Lash LaRue, for you kids, was a cowboy of the Hopalong and Roy era who dressed in black and had a bullwhip. (You can find him on the net) He could take a gun right out of an outlaw's hand with his bullwhip. Anyway he came to Perry and he was to give a bullwhip demonstration at one of the city parks, but he didn't show and didn't show, and it turned out that he was drunk over at the New Perry Hotel, and they were trying to sober him up.
Obviously, we've gotten a long way from Barack Obama.
