Obama no ka oi...

There are lots of reasons people like Barack Obama, but this has to be the coolest from my perspective...



It cracks me up because that looks like every one of my elementary school pictures from the 1970s. Lots of ridiculously bright Hawaiian shirts and muumuus. It was the standard school picture attire for a generation.


Gotta love growing up in Hawaii.

Anyway, as everybody knows, election night was just a few days ago and we spent it at the coordinated party for Democrats in the Green Bay area. We were there to celebrate the re-election of Cari's Dad by a whopping margin of 2:1 - something unheard of for a Democrat in this battleground part of Wisconsin...



The real suspense of the evening, though, was the race for the Presidency of course.


Wisconsin's Lieutenant Governor Barbara Lawton (whom we're big fans of and have known for many years) took to the podium where she pulled up our kids to emphasize that the election was about the nation's future...



It was a crazy night, although David wasn't too interested in joining in the party...



And apparently Nalani and Malia partied themselves out...



Here's our family's version of Barack's logo...



Obama no ka oi!
