first family?


Far be it for me to endorse any candidate, given that I lack any political experience or expertise. But if Chuck Norris can go out on a limb for Huckabee, and if Magic Johnson is stumping for Hillary, then I think I have just as much right to get on the Obama bandwagon and ask you along.
Its a new day in America, and Sen. Obama's recent win in Iowa and strong showing in the polls leading up to the New Hampshire primary have many dreaming of the day when we have a black family in the White House, as the face of the United States.
However, no amount of commentary by pundits and foes alike can convince anyone of backing any candidate. It is up to us, the uphold the legacy of our ancestors who fought to give us the right to the franchise. So educate yourselves read up on the candidates and decide who you believe will be the best leader to see us into the next four years and beyond.
In the meantime, dare to believe in the Obama momentum. I know that somewhere Fredrick Douglass and Shirley Chisholm, the first black presidential candidates are happy.
