    Senator Obama a Self-Aggrandizer?

    I value service to others above all else, and I support Barack Obama. Given his personal history, it's hard to view him as selfish or a self-aggrandizer. He could have had any job in the world (and the money to go with it), but chose to be a community organizer on the south side of Chicago. His success at that endeavor, and those that have followed it, is a result of his ability to bring out the best in others and rally them toward a common purpose. These are qualities that I would very much like to see in our next President.
