Obama Meets With Donors in New York - New York Times
One of the donors who met with Mr. Obama, and who spoke on the condition of anonymity because he did not want to offend Mrs. Clinton, said that he and several others had supported Mrs. Clinton’s Senate campaigns but were not committed to her as a presidential candidate.
“I like Hillary a lot, but I’m also impressed with Obama — his message, the way he connects to people,” said the donor, a prominent businessman. “It’s a little too early for Democrats to be certain that Hillary is the strongest bet for 2008. There are a lot of good people interested in running.”
It seems only yesterday he was apprehensively avoiding questions on TV about his intentions to run for President. I kind of hope he does, but could he have too ethnic a name? I’ve heard that puts off a lot of the red state votes. I think America needs a president who’s more open to participating in the global community, not trying to dominate it.
Something to hope for, but highly unlikely. I’m interested on Obama’s approach to the war on drugs. We need another Jimmy Carter in that arena.
