I heard a rumor that Obama was carrying a book of Derek Walcott's poetry around. Imagine, a president who can read something more than a speech on a teleprompter (and mangled, at that!)!
Bets are now open as to which line(s) make it into the inaugural address!
(Ooo, I googled and found a picture!)
Walcott wrote a poem, "Forty Acres," for Obama: http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/world/us_and_americas/us_elections/article5088429.ece
