Then it's your tum: after reading both perspectives, tell us what YOU think. Issue: Question: No, Look at His There has been tremendous speculation on the radio, in newspapers and magazines and in communities across the country regarding Skin: Senator Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) decision to enter In a seemingly new era of progressive politics, the primary race to be our next president. Americans appear eager and ready to rattle the Some believe after taking the time out to Does Barack traditions of political power. This is particularly research and evaluate Senator Obama's creden visible through the victory of Nancy Pelosi, the first tials and the current political envirorunent, it is Obama Have female Speaker of the House. Pelosi's triumph has only fitting that the Senator enters the demo many considering the possibility of America's first cratic primary for presidency. non-traditional president of the United States. However, others question his expertise and the Presidential There is no doubt that Barack Obama is preparedness. Does he have enough experience the ideal candidate for president. He has the to take the role of head-of-state? Does he have intellect, relative youth, and savvy to create great the connections to even get him into the office? Persona? momentum among progressives. Nonetheless, Finally, others pose the inevitable question: is the color of his skin will be the unconscious factor the nation ready for a black president? All these that some Americans will consider when Obama questions lead us to the ultimate question ... is placed side by side against his opponents. In a society that still debates the necessity of voting rights, that justifies racial inequality, or gerrymandering, it is highly unlikely that a black man will hold the highest office in the land. -Nyron Crawford Yes, He Has What it Takes: The opposing side immediately approaches whether or not senator Obama should run from a racial perspective and feels that if he decides to run in the primary he will suffer the same fate historically as the late Congresswoman Shirley Chisholm, the first African American to run a bid for presidency of the United States in i972, and Reverend Al Sharpton in the 2004 election. A key factor that distinguishes Obama's opportunity from his predecessors is the shift of political ideology of primary voters. With partisanship plaguing his political counterparts, Sen. Obama's niod erate yet challenging democratic ideology continues to invigorate not only the liberal base, but some conservatives as well, be they black, brown, or white. This can give him an upper hand in establishing a larger, more diverse base of voters than his potential primary opponents. More importantly, Obama has effectively reached across partisan lines to pass legislation of impor tance to African Americans in his district as a state senator. He has also exemplified tenacity through his actions as a United States Senator on both national and foreign affairs issues. -Marcus Coleman ·
