What fun to see how the media attention trickles down to a young child.
We have some play people in the playroom here at work, and one happens to be an African-American male. Lately a number of kids, probably ages 4-8 or so, have pulled out that particular guy and said, "Hey, he looks like Barack Obama!" It goes to show that even though there are prominent African Americans in the media these days, Obama's bid for the presidency is different and remarkable enough that even young kids are picking up on it.
