You may not realize this Steve but you have just made a pretty  
profound statement.  Have we come to the point in this country where  
a black guy, raised by a single mother/grandparents, who put himself  
through college, turned down a ton of money lawyer job to work with  
regular people, and who does not come from a line of privilege can be  
considered part of 'politics as usual'?

If so, that is an amazing thing that could only happen in the USA and  
it strikes me as a sign that we are the most adept country at  
adjusting to reality over the centuries. Pretty cool if it is true,  
and yet one more sign that it is we the people, regardless of where  
we come, from that run this place if we have the guts to do it and  
not turn it over to the select few and powerful.
