Obama’s family looks like the world. It includes Africans, Indonesians, and Irish. It is a family of every shade of humanity. It includes all classes and backgrounds. In short, this is an American Family in the White House.
It made me think about my extended family. Our family includes African Americans, Russians, Scandinavians, Brits, Mexicans, Appalachians and Native Americans. It includes Catholics, Protestants, Jews, Unitarians, Pagans and non-believers. It includes school drop out and college graduates. I don’t believe any of us will ever be nationally known politicians. However, when I look at the President’s family I believe is looks more like the evolving American Family than the families of past Presidents.
