Barack Obama making ‘em sweat
As my regular readers know, I’ve not really given much attention on my blog to the presidential campaign happenings. It’s not that I haven’t been watching what’s going on - I have. I’ve watched many of the debates. I’ve kept up with the primary results and delegate tabulations. I’ve listened to what “they” say and what “their” poll says, etc. I’m very interested, but at the same time I’m more interested in local politics because I believe that true change…revolutionary change bubbles up from the people…it doesn’t trickle down from the White House.
However, in watching the democratic presidential hopefuls, I must admit that at times excitement has found me - particularly as Mr. Barack Obama has and is experiencing success. (I can’t tell if this is the same feeling that I get when I see Black folk competing on television game shows. I know I know…I’m trying to figure it out.)
He trounced his opponents thoroughly in the South Carolina primary and just today picked up the endorsements of Sen. Ted Kennedy (along with a ringing endorsement from Caroline Kennedy) and African American author, Toni Morrison - who a decade ago called Bill Clinton “America’s first Black president” (big joke)
