George Clooney Blogs about President Barack Obama & Darfur

Actor George Clooney, who has been very active in helping people suffering in Sudan's Darfur region, recently visited a refugee camp in the neighboring African nation of Chad and blogs that the children are hopeful since President Barack Obama took office.

"We walked through a village where children would follow me and chant the name 'Obama.' His promise of 'hope' having such a different meaning here," Clooney writes on The Daily Beast.

He continues, "I visited a school in a camp in Goz Beida. The name above the door had been changed to 'Obama.' It seems this message of 'hope' is catching on."
