I did not take this photo. I can only say this image moves me more than any other image I've seen in a very, very long time. I simply cannot wait until November 4th. I think I know how these young men must feel. I've been fortunate to meet Senator Obama, and I will tell you -- he's the real deal.

The caption that goes along with this image (see the rest of the images by clicking on my link of the day - be sure to click on SHOW MORE IMAGES at the bottom of each page):

These two boys waited as a long line of adults greeted Senator Obama before a rally on Martin Luther King Day in Columbia, S.C. They never took their eyes off of him. Their grandmother told me, "Our young men have waited a long time to have someone to look up to, to make them believe Dr. King's words can be true for them."
