It begins

Obama declares he's running for president - CNN.com

It's official. Obama's running for President.

I do hope that he's going to be different than the politicians we've had to deal with in the past. I'm yet to be excited about a presidential race. I don't think he'll get the nomination, because (a) other candidates like Sen. Clinton are already ahead in raking in the campaign money, (b) he's green, and (c) if this is true, he's less corruptable than other politicians.

Item C right there will lose him the race. The Powers That Be are NOT going to allow someone who will truly act in their own best judgment into the White House. Not going to happen. Don't put your tinfoil hats on...what I'm referring to is this:

Admitting the tactic is typical of aspiring candidates, Obama promised to overhaul a political system he says is dominated by lobbyists and special interest groups "who've turned our government into a game only they can afford to play."

These are the people who will prevent him from getting the nomination.

Final note: In Obama's speech, he talks about change. What politician doesn't? I guess it's hard to sound truly unique...he can seriously mean to change things for the better, while other politicians just give us lip-service.
