(second image is Lomong taking his oath of citizenship)

His carrying the flag may even eclipse when he kicks China's butt in the 1500meter.

I was hoping for Dara Torres, but this choice suits me fine.

I can see it now. The open borders types who like to blur the lines between legal and illegal will use this to support an amnesty. I bet Obama and McCain both use it in their campaigns.

I got to see Lopez Lomong run in a high school track meet a few years ago, and only heard later about his life story. Folks in central New York are justly proud of this adopted son of the U.S. of A.

That’s truly lovely. What an inspiration this man, my fellow citizen, is — I’m glad he’s getting the recognition he deserves.

I wish we allowed more Sudanese refugees who are truly in need , unlike those we see marching in our streets, who have broken our laws and make more demands by the day.
