The First And Maybe Last

I know this is supposed to be the first step in running for President. To form an exploratory committee, to check the American voters pulse. In a way I can't blame him for testing the waters. I would want to know how America felt if I were him too. If nothing else it will give him some clout. To even be considered for running for the nations top job, is an honor in itself.

The fact that the Democrats are even considering him shows division. Until a couple of months ago Sen. Hillary Rodham-Clinton N.Y. was the front runner. I think this is proof the country isn't ready for a female President. I think the timing of Nancy Pelosi has worked against her. In the short time that she has been majority speaker of the house, she has proven to be ineffective. She lacks the ability to bring the party together as a unified group. Inadvertently I think that has something to do with Barack OBama's rise in popularity.

I don't think it is as much a matter of race in this case as opposed to record. Even if he wasn't Black some of his positions are unpopular among the voters. Just like myself some Blacks wouldn't vote for OBama based simply on his race. We would like to know what he stands for and how he votes. Democrats are desperate they're throwing everything in the pot. The same people shaking his hand and smiling in his face, won't pull the lever by his name behind the curtain. For all those people that govern by the polls. If Sen. OBama thinks like them he will he will be in for a rude awakening. I think when he looks at the numbers he will change his mind.
