That's not what I thought he'd look like.

Today I received an e-mail from Joe Biden. Me personally. Ok, maybe me and a million or so of my closest Democrat friends.

Anyway. It contained a link to Barack Obama's speach last night in Florida. I played it with Mia looking over my shoulder. She says, "Is that Barack Obama?" And, by the way, her pronunciation of "Barack Obama" is dead on. Now it is, at least. Earlier on in the campaign his name was a bit mangled by the younger Armieri set. So I say, "Yes, it is." She says, "That's not what I thought he looked like." I say, "Why not?", thinking, oh dear, she's going to say something like, "He's black." Mind you, she called Akil, the little boy down the street, "that black boy" for quite while. Now she can remember "Akil." Not dissimilar to her calling "Bella", "that new girl in the blue house," until she could remember Bella. Anyway, I digress....

I say, "Why not?" Mia says, "He's not wearing a hat. I thought he was a cowboy."
