Barack's Grandparents

Been busy all evening. Had to take daughter Brittany to the doctor, she's caught something flu-like. Wife Ellen's working so with 4 dogs, 2 guiniea pigs, 2 birds and all, I've been BUSY.
But, just a moment to post this old pic of Barack Obama's maternal grandparents. You can see where Obama gets the ears. Look at his grandfather. His grandmother is now gravely ill and he's pausing his campaigning to go to Hawaii to visit her.


I found the photo at Ta-Nehisi's place along with this wonderful write-up about racial relations in America today and about the white mothers and grandparents who have helped lead the way closer to a more color-blind society.
