The Boston Globe's "Once Upon a Time..."

[liz_marcs]

The Boston Globe has uploaded its February 15, 1990 interview with Barack Obama back when he was elected the first African-American head of the Harvard Law Review.

Fave quote from the article which was made at the time: "I thought, 'This guy sounds like he's president of the country already,' " said John Owens, a former co-worker from Chicago, during a telephone interview. "I've never met anyone who could leave that impression after only five minutes."

This has been your cool link of the day.

To be that self assured and focused at that young an age speaks volumes. It's not surprising he will be taking the Presidential oath tomorrow.

Obama is a pretty extraordinary individual, and apparently this has been obvious for at least the last 19 years.
