As I write today, I am listening to Martin Luther King's "I have a Dream Speech" in my office as my Guatemalan born son, Sky, is playing on PBSkids.com. I am deeply inspired by the passion and the fire and the spirit pouring out of that man.
And in one day, my son Sky, my other Indian Son Andrew, and my "on the way" daughter from Ethiopia, Amelie Lin Peebles, will have a powerful door opened to them.
Barack Obama will be elected president. This time last year, my wife and I got on the Obama bandwagon. We put up a poster in our windows, and pasted a poster on our son's door. We were excited about caucusing for him. We were hoping, and listening, and praying.
Then - all year last year - we talked about it endlessly, prayed, gave money, volunteered, and we cheered and cried when he won.
And now it all comes together in one day!
God Speed Obama!
