I was at Costco last evening and in their book section they have two new books about Obama, both so-called exposes. One is entitled 'Obama Nation'.

I've been saying that I'm happy that Barack Obama is of mixed-race, that electing him would be a signal to the rest of the world of real change, of solidarity, of maturing, and as If not now, When?

I no longer feel confident that our nation has matured enough.
