Black In Business

I predicted Obama to win in Iowa and New Hampshire several months ago. Although Barack has not generated the excitement, Rev. Jesse Jackson Sr. did with his presidential candidacy in the 80’s; he is exhibiting a wider range of appeal. I witnessed a debate with Rev. Jackson and the other democratic candidates at the time, none worthy of mention, Jackson was clearly the best prepared, offered more ideas, was the smoothest and would have been a change agent, but America was not ready. My basis for predicting a Obama win in New Hampshire and Iowa was how successful Jesse was in those states.
Barack is less threatening to white folks and may be a better politician than Rev. Jackson. He is a common ground builder and can bring people together.
In today’s global world having a leader of color that has different values than white republicans, no offense to Colin Powell and Ms. Rice, would help expedite world peace.
All of the candidates on both sides of the aisle are impressive, and that alone would represent improvement for America image, but we also need change from the past.
It is extremely ironic that as our time as come, it may not be white voters that keep Obama from the prize, but black voters that are on the Hillary and Edwards bandwagon. A shame indeed but I believe enough black voters will realize what is at stake and provide Obama the reward of their votes.
As you sort out your loyalty and decide who deserves your vote, I have come across a web site that will allow you to view and compare the platforms of all candidates in the race for president. You will love this impressive tool and will be able to see where each canidate stands on important issues. How ever you vote be informed!
