This is really, really cool

A friend whose father lives in Hyde Park (Chicago) and votes at the same polling place as you-know-who received the below email from pops. I think it's pretty cool:

"I wanted to vote early. I came out of our driveway at 6:30 and the whole street, both sides of our street, were just lined with American flags—the whole way to Obama's house. I don't know who did it but I've never seen anything like it. They changed the voting area, so it was at Shoesmith [where I played many a little league game]. And it turned out we were all waiting because of Obama. A lot of people came because they knew he was going to be voting there. They clogged the whole place up, between people who wanted to vote and people who wanted to see Obama. And then he showed up! And everybody was just screaming and yelling, and then he voted and Michelle voted. I was there for over an hour—impatient me—but I waited. "

American flags lining the street -- you know, in the neighborhood were fake Americans pal around with terrorists.
