As if I needed any more good news right now; Obama officially announced he's running for President in 2008!
"I recognize there is a certain presumptuousness--a certain audacity--to this announcement," he said. "I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change."
[A century and a half after Lincoln noted that "a house divided against itself cannot stand," Obama used the weekend commemorating the 16th president's birthday to portray himself as a candidate with the strength to lead a country torn by the moral and political conundrum of war.]
[Harold Holzer, a nationally renowned Lincoln scholar and a co-chairman of the federal panel charged with commemorating the bicentennial of Lincoln's 1809 birth, said he did not believe it a daunting risk for Obama to try to appropriate from one of the nation's greatest presidents.]
"Lincoln's design for a better society is manifesting itself with a Latino, a woman and a person of color running for the presidency of the United States," Holzer said. "It sends the message, `We've come a long way, baby.' "
Awesome.
