Obama!

The fabulous Barack Obama has just started a senatorial blog. So far, there's not much to it, but I'll be interested to see how it evolves. The first posts tout the issue of college financial aid and some legislation he's introducing to expand Pell grants.

I'm so lucky—I actually got to vote for Obama. Plus, we Illinoisans probably had cause to say and hear his name more than the rest of you. And it's so fun to say! Say it with me: Buh-ROCK o-BOMB-a!

I will definitely be checking this out. He seriously makes me want to move to Illinois because my Senator's here suck (Allen and Warner, two very staunch repub's). I also have his new book now so I can't wait for classes to end so I can read it!

Rob/UA, I know exactly what you mean. Given the climate during the last presidential campaign, I was OK with Obama pointing out that the GOP doesn't have a stranglehold on god-fearing folks (for those who care about such things). But of course I'd prefer it if politicians felt they could safely speak out on behalf of people who aren't religious.
