United States Senator Barack Obama may throw his persona into the Democratic Party cast of characters who are running for President. The lanky,lean, good-looking Obama may join the other team of lookers, Evan Bayh, and John Kerry, and the tough as nails, lone female hopeful Hillary Clinton.
Obama brings a new flavor to the Democrats. He refreshes the old tired, we shall overcome chant, of Jesse Jackson with the late Barbara Jordan's style of dialogue amongst the people delivered with the late Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. move to action charm. Obama is irresistible. Obama serves as a beacon of hope to those who have left the party and for those who have sought a party that speaks to their needs. Obama will be the bright light that draws both African-American and religion folks back to the polls.
Obama offers the voters, a moment of hope. Hope to turn around a government bend on sending their children to war and children back into the homes of empty nesters because these children are unable to find decent job opportunities. A moment of hope in a politician who believes in peace rather than in war. A politician who believes in standing on his father rather than bending to the will of big name corporations. It is a hope for a new direction.
This first term Senator is a rising star set on a course to etch out the role that disheartening citizens must play in order to produce a more caring, and a more inclusive government in today's global world. Something that neither Hillary Clinton nor Evan Bayh brings to the table. Obama's presence at the table is non threatening to both, Bayh and Clinton in their fundraising role for the party. But neither can discount the impact that this young energetic African-American male will have on the 2008 presidential election for the Democrats.
Will Obama be the first African-American President of the United States or will join the rank of those other African-Americans who helped get a Democrat into the President's seat?
