It made such an impression on my nine year old that I've heard him repeat it several times since. I don't think the 5 and 7 y. olds across the street got much out of it, but the nice lady at Target was thrilled. Viv, We heard that quote on an NPR interview last week.

He seemed so happy to have someone to talk to about the election, and about his wife; I think we chatted for almost 10 minutes. It made me weepy, na dit was the best part about volunteering for the campaign. Right there with you–this morning I called a voter who was deceased but I spoke with her husband instead.

The following (said by a voter interviewed on NPR) set me off again today: "Rosa sat so Martin could walk... Martin walked, so Obama could run... Obama is running so our children can fly!"

“Rosa sat so Martin could walk…
Martin walked, so Obama could run…
Obama is running so our children can fly!”
