Run, Obama, Run
The hype is on for Barack Obama to run for President of the United States in the 2008 Presidential Election. When asked about all of the hoopla, Obama, who has ignited a stunning level of excitement nationwide with the prospects of his candidacy, said, "Obviously, I find myself at an interesting moment in time". At the same time, Obama said he viewed hype over his potential candidacy as "transitory" and not something that would dictate his decision.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Obama said he had no real concerns about his ability to put together a staff and raise the tens of millions of dollars he would need to wage a campaign against his potential opponents, including Democratic Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York. But he said he would have to weigh seriously the burdens that a campaign would place on his family, with his wife and two young daughters, making sure they would not "unduly suffer" from the hothouse atmosphere a White House run would create.
Even though running for President is a serious undertaking, Obama has been able to keep things light and in their proper perspective. Take a look at the video. You'll see what I mean.
