Barack Obama is one of the most intelligent and respected senators in our nation today, but why shouldn't he run for president? I honestly think that Obama would be an excellent president, but I don't think that the majority of the nation is ready to have a black president. It is sad, but true. Obama is a relatively "green" politician, being the senator from Illinois has been his one claim to political fame, but already he has the personaity, drive and ability to govern. However, I think that is Obama runs, he will be stopped, by whatever means necessary, even perhaps assasination. There are people who are still so racist in this country that they would kill a presidential candidate to prevent any person of color to ever enter into the white house. It saddens me to think that, but I dont think that this is the year Obama should run. But he's young, maybe not this election, maybe not the next, but when our children begin to vote, perhaps it will be in a world where everyone is REALLY equal, and where a black man from Illinois can run the country.
