Heads Up On Obama...

[Bullet1987]

...Yesterday, one of the CNN anchors was talking about potentials for 2008. When she got to Obama, she mentioned the "dilly-dally" remark (and I still don't know what he meant by that) and she also said he said we can expect a decision within a few weeks. Then what shocked me was an interview she said is coming on tomarrow at 1pm (on CNN) called 'Will He Run.' The person (forgot his name) will be interviewing Barack about a number of things including whether or not he wants to run. I think we may hear an answer before a few weeks. Thing is though, I want to hear how Obama uses his words. The anchorwoman threw me off a little when he said (coming out of a session or something) that he doesn't want to be forced. I can't remember exactly what she said, but I was wondering if he meant forced as in...people trying to force an answer out of him. Or people trying to force him to do something he doesn't want to do...or it not ready for.

I'm personally 50/50 about Obama running. I think he should, and would probably have a very good shot...looking at the state of the nation. He may not get another chance like this for at least another decade. But on the flip side...I don't know if he really wants to run.

I'll be watching tomarrow afternoon though...

1. Oh my! I so hope Obama gets in.

...was just reading another AP story on our party's "rising star" and thinking...Obama's the precise elixer this troubled country needs right now!

4. I hope not. He's so young he can afford to wait another

decade and still be young. Why waste his talents now when we have other more worldly experienced good Democrats. He can use some more time and then he'll be ripe for a good 8 years. Besides...his chances of winning 8 years from now will be greatly increased. Why take a chance on him losing now? Anyway that's my 2 cents.
