Sen. Barack Obama Announces Presidential Exploratory Committee!

Sometimes it seems as though the only way this country will ever have a Black President is by living the experience through a TV Show like 24, where Dennis Haysbert played the first Black President of the United States for several seasons. He was assassinated after leaving office, but that’s another story!

Anyway, today, fiction has taken one step closer to reality. Senator Barack Obama has announced that he is forming an exploratory committee in his hopes to run for President. He will make a formal announcement of whether or not he will run for the office on February 10th.

It’s been interesting to see how the White media have already gone to great pains to pit the Black man, Sen. Obama, against the other minority, Sen. Hillary Clinton. White women don’t often like to be referred to as a minority, except when it comes to applying for things such as small business loans, but, yes, she is also a minority candidate.

Senators Obama and Clinton are expected to have a major fight over the Black vote. However, if Sen. Obama shows that he is a strong candidate—and many even if he is not—he will surely take a large chunk of the Black vote away from the wife of Black people’s favorite ex-President, Bill Clinton.

I can’t wait to see how the White media goes after Sen. Obama as they wait for him to self-destruct—as Howard Dean did when he yelled like a fool during a speech. I would speculate that if Sen. Obama doesn’t self-destruct, he will get a little “outside help” to destroy his chances of being a front-runner in the Democratic primary. This will be interesting to watch, especially since much has been made of Sen. Obama’s admission of prior cocaine use. We know the current President abused alcohol and we’ve heard speculation that he also dabbled in drugs. But, let’s see how that standard of past drug or alcohol use plays out for Sen. Obama.
