I am convinced that many in media just don’t get it; just like many of our elected officials in this country. They wouldn’t recognize a meteorite even if it was hurling straight toward them at one mile per day. They see what they want to see only, and they don’t think deeply. Their visions are usually clouded by their special interests, corporate owners, myopia, greed and/or ego-needs.
Last winter, I told the world that the only thing stopping Barack Hussein (Barry) Obama from being the next president of the USA, is an assassination; either a political or physical one. I also said that if he was fully white (and not just half-white), this race would be a wrap. This bad boy is special with a capital “s”.
On Tuesday night Barack Obama will win the New Hampshire primary (probably by a larger margin than he did in Iowa), and when he does quite a few people are going to be shocked. But they shouldn’t be. He has been over-exposed for many years now.
What many of us who support him has recognized, is that he is exceptional on many levels and in many areas. For those who haven’t gotten there as yet, consider this: that if you had read the two books he wrote, listened to some of his speeches, followed his political career, considered his intellectual development, studied his profile/record, digested his resume, appreciated his legislative output and diplomatic skills, been fascinated by Oprah Winfrey’s endorsement of his integrity, character and candidacy, smiled at his magnetic personality, been impressed by his dynamism, been arrested by his charisma, been amazed by his human decency, admired his unique background, respected his spiritual growth, applauded his multi-culturality, absorbed his world view, accepted his commitment to family life, been charmed by his grace, marveled at his dignity, felt his love for his wife and kids, been touched by his compassion and been analytical of his life experiences, you would have come to this conclusion long ago. Add to all this, the fact that he is articulate and eloquent; and what do you get: a political dynamo.
What we are witnessing in contemporary US history, is what I have been trying to describe since last January, when I wrote my first article in my initial three part series on why he should run for the presidency. Go back and read the series before attacking me on these blogs for self-applauding my prediction (Obama’s Iowa victory) coming through and true. Barack Obama is a phenom. Don’t be surprised if he scores a triple by winning South Carolina too; this guy can possibly run the table people-in all the primaries before Super Tuesday (02/05/08). As I said way back in January when I gave some reasons why I felt he should run for the presidency: he is very special.
Stay tuned-in folks.
