Obama in Ghana


Watching the coverage of the Obamas in Ghana is absolutely amazing. Make sure you take a minute to look at photos or video:

Wow - Obama's speech to the people, he and Michelle visiting an old slave trading post (Michelle's ancestors were slaves) -- first time since the election that Obama as an African-American president has really resonated. I'm vowing to visit Cape Coast someday.

The size and the energy of the crowds is unbelievable. What foreign president has ever inspired such enthusiasm?

Aww, Malia and Sasha AND Mrs. Robinson are there too!

Kudos to CNN for putting particularly gorgeous reporters on the story, making it that much more watchable: Anderson Cooper, Suzanne Malveau, more. What? I'm just saying.
