Happy Birthday Barack... I never met anyone named Barack that I did not like


okay... I never really met Obama

but there was a moment before Obama started his presidential campaign where we passed in the hall at my old place of work
we passed... he greeted me with a good morning that had magical charisma 
yes... magical charisma... laugh if you will

I returned the morning greeting and went on with my day

I knew who he was... but not much more

looking back... I guess I should have paused and done more than just grumble good morning

I Believe.
