A Plea From Obama's Biggest Berlin Fan

I didn't know that Obama has made himself friends all over the world, even in Germany. This shows that he as good as he claims he is. So, congratulations to him and his team that helped him win the elections.

I am a mother of a biracial child that lives in a community of 98% other than what my son is. I can tell you that I understand where this father is coming from and have struggled on this same journey. My son is now 17 years old, and he is an outstanding citizen of our city, state, and country. He is a star athlete, volunteers as a coach for 4 and 5 year olds for flag football. Belongs to the youth police explorers. He got the lead in the town play this year, and inspires others no matter what color they are. I have had parents write letters about him as a coach that would make you cry. I have had teachers cry at conferences because my son would sit in the corner and read stories at age 8 to an autistic classmate. The journey is hard, but so worth everything. I am a proud mother of a biracial child, and as Josie grows, I'm sure she will never stop amazing you with her strength and peace.

Bless your heart, Josie. I wish you well. We're pulling for you. I'm sure Sen. Obama will do all he can to accommodate.
Love,

REMEMBER JOSIE. Senator Obama has promised us that he will listen and represent the American people. We are all Josie. I hope this little girl's dream comes true. I am keeping the faith and the hope. Ordinary people, extraordinary things. Yes We Can.

I am so proud of Josie. Even at her young age she is able to give so much love and joy to so many. Obama has given so many the gift of Hope, and he is setting many good examples for the youths of our nation.
I too wrote to the Obama HQ requesting that Obama meet with Little Josie. It would make a national impact, that's for sure!
God's Blessings Josie!

Reggie has worked so hard for Josie to have her wish. What a wonderful father for a little girl. While Barack Obama reminds us how far we've come, Josie reminds us how far we still have to go.

Reggie has unselfishly helped his little girl to have her dream.
What a story!!
I hope Obama has the staff with the smarts to make this happen!
Go Josie!!

I give Josie (and Reggie) my best wishes... I will be watching the speech and will probably have to break out the tissues!
Just shows what people can do when they come together for a great cause!!!!
Next Stop - Election Day!!!!

I hope that Josie gets her wish. I am a mother of two bi-racial children, and it is tough finding biracial role models for my children to admire. I want them to be just as accomplished as BO.
