I first heard of Obama a few months ago, in a profile in the New
Yorker that made him sound almost too good to be true. A guy who
graduated at the top of his Harvard Law class and could have worked
for any law firm in the country, but who chose to go to Chicago to
represent plaintiffs in housing and employment discrimination
cases, is someone I can hold in the highest respect. So I've been
anticipating this speech -- and it was inspiring. (A little too
much God for me, but nobody's perfect.)
I went down to our local library yesterday to check out Obama's
book, because it's out of print and I figured after tonight there
would be a bunch of holds on it.
I have to say, though, that one of the things I enjoyed most
tonight was Teresa Heinz Kerry talking about the Hubble space
telescope. What a way to an sf geek's heart!
