Barack talks to Ebony
Posted by Media Outrage on September 10, 2008
In the October issue of Ebony they sat down with Barack Obama and asked him just a few questions.
Ebony: Do you realize how much hope people of color are placing on you?
Obama: It’s gratifying to see people drawing inspiration from my campaign. Blacks in countries like France and Germany have their own struggles. If they see what I’m doing as a part of a broader awakening, and setting a good image that helps them achieve their hopes and dreams, then I think that’s a great thing.
Ebony: Do you understand the emotion? There were people who were crying.
Obama: It’s hard for me to step out of myself to sort of appreciate what my effect is on other people.
Ebony: Does it place a tremendous responsibility on you?
Obama: I wouldn’t be running if I didn’t think that I would have an impact. And hopefully that impact will be positive.

@DT
“McCain wont be alive after his first term!”
You should put that crystal ball to better use. Be it Vegas, the stock market or your local state lottery.
“Do you want a Moose Hunting redneck whose claim to politics is governing a state the size of brooklyn”
Youre statement is incorrect
1) Alaska has a much smaller population than Brooklyn.
2) Alaska is much larger than Brooklyn, size wise.
Anyway that’s neither here or there. I’ll take my chances with McCain staying alive rather than give a vote to someone who talks nonsense.
