The candidate discusses his former pastor, who has been the subject of controversy in recent days, and race in the U.S. generally.
  • The future...

    Like him or not, trust him or not, there is only one candidate in this election who can possibly be a transformational figure...and that is Obama.

    That doesn't mean he will achieve it, or anything like it. He could be a failure...but as big and dangerous as George Bush? Hard to imagine.

    Like them, trust them, McCain and Clinton are Washington politicitions who will in persuit of their goals play by traditional Washington rules and who ultimately view the world in a very Washington Box. Look at their record on Iraq. Both have acted about the war in entirely predictable ways.

    I want to vote for hope. I want to vote for change. I want to vote for the promise of a better future...not a rebirth of the past or a continuation of the present.

    I admit it, I may be naive even willfully blind when it comes to Obama...but I've already seen about as much of Hilalry and John McCain as I can possibly stand.
