Barack will be on Oprah today.....I'm sure to discuss his presidential aspirations. He certainly is something - bright, articulate - a real rock star. If you never caught his speech at the Democratic Convention in '04 you really missed something special. I will find it and post it here within the next few days. Our country is at a crossroads - its time to get engaged and get busy. Below the story is a video of him announcing his decision to form a presidential exporatory committee.
Illinois Sen. Barack Obama (D), one of the Democratic Party's brightest young stars, jumped into the 2008 race for the White House today, establishing a presidential exploratory committee that is expected to lead immediately into a full-blown campaign for president.
Obama has electrified Democratic audiences around the country, generating pressure for him to seek the presidency despite having been elected to the Senate just two years ago. Recent national polls show him challenging Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-N.Y.), who is seen as the front-runner for the Democratic nomination.
