Obama To Announce On His Website

Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has decided to run for president and will file exploratory committee papers later today, Democratic sources said. At 10:00 am ET, Obama will post a video announcement on his website. http://www.barackobama.com/main.php

Somebody in the Democrat party is playing rope-a-dope, and Obama's the dope.

[dfwgator]

And Obama has accomplished what......?

[areafiftyone]

I just don't understand the media obsession with him. He's nothing! I hope he get trounced in the debates.

What I cannot figure out is, why his advisers aren't telling him to sit out one cycle. He has a lock on his seat in the Senate, and the extra time would address his weakness in "experience."

These guys fall for their own MSM propaganda nearly every time, I don't get it.

[Clara Lou]

A candidacy based on thin air [not experience] and race.

[JustaDumbBlonde]

He's going for it too early. Of course, if he waited the appropriate number of years, he would actually have a record to examine.

[ShandaLear]

Obama has made the fatal mistake of believing his on PR. He's finished.

LOL!! might as well file papers for my cat, then.

[dogbyte12]

Actually you are wrong!

Seriously wrong. But it's a common mistake. He does not want experience. If history is the guide, he has the right amount. Only two sitting senators have become President in our nation's history; Warren Harding and John Kennedy. Both had not that much experience in the Senate. Kennedy had 8 years, but over a third of it he was out with back problems. Harding had six years and missed over 1/3 of all votes not bothering to show up.

Those two are the only Senators ever to win directly. Obama's lack of resume is why he needs to run now. This is his best and only shot of ever winning. He is a putz. But I am just analyzing this through history's lens.

And Obama has accomplished what......?

Nothing, except schmooze up to the lame MSM.

Obama has made the fatal mistake of believing his on PR. He's finished.

Obama will soon discover just how vicious the Democrats can be. It'll be fun watching Hillary chew him up and spit him out.

[freedomson]

This is the most wonderful moment in the history of earth.

[Mo1]

I just don't understand the media obsession with him

He's a money maker for the Dems

[1rudeboy]

I stand corrected. But in a larger sense, the best thing Obama could do for his presidential prospects is to return to Illinois and be elected governor. (I'm still addressing his lack of "experience").
