Well if you’re a big backer of Sen. Obama - zero hour is approaching. The first minority in United States history who has a viable shot at becoming the leader of the most powerful nation in history. Obviously I mean no disrespect to the likes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson - but Obama is of a different time. Where Sharpton and Jackson ran to represent a voice to the Democratic party for the Black community.
Obama is the truth.
Perhaps I see a bit of the man I backed for the Liberal leadership - Gerard Kennedy - in Barack Obama. Both men are/were running a grassroots movement, both are/were inexperienced yet inspiring, both men provided a hint of hope for those who listened and watched them. Now the historical significance for Obama to win far outweighs that of Kennedy. But alas, some similarities are there. And I only put these two men in the same room for comparision - Obama, needles to say is an international figure, while Gerard is not
So do I think Obama will run? - YES
And ill tell you exactly why.
“Democratic Sen. Barack Obama plans to stand outside Illinois' Old State Capitol on Saturday, a building indelibly linked to Abraham Lincoln, and tell the world about his 2008 presidential plans.” (this is from the article posted earlier in this post)
As many have pointed out already; the powerful image of a black man announcing his Presidential plans; while standing in front of a commanding symbol of Abraham Lincoln - the man who freed the slaves, can be best described as inspiring.
Run Obama Run!
