In February of 2007, I, my one year old daughter, and my wife who was pregnant with our second child drove down to Springfield, IL. We believed that our young Senator would right the wrongs that had been committed by his predecessor, and set our country back on a proper course.

We wanted to witness history as he announced his candidacy for the Presidency of the United States.

That's me, wearing his shirt, when my wife gave birth to the boy that was in her body when he announced in February, 2007.

You see, I'm not some Obama hater.
