Obama Back in the U.S., Back on the Trail

From CBS News' Allison O'Keefe:

(CHICAGO) - Less than 24 hours after his return from his whirlwind, 10-day overseas trip, Barack Obama will speak to the UNITY ’08 convention of minority journalists this morning.

This will be Obama’s first U.S. campaign appearance following his trip to European, the Middle East, Afghanistan and Iraq.

The convention will consist of a panel of journalists moderated by CNN’s Suzanne Malveuax and Romesh Ratnesar, world editor of TIME magazine. The panel includes NBC’s John Yang, Leonard Pitts of the Miami Herald, Dianne Solis of the Dallas Morning News, and Brian Bull of Wisconsin Public Radio.

Following the conference, Obama will spend some time with his family before kicking off a full week of campaigning tomorrow.

Yup - he did speak to those unbiased, professional, minority journalists. And they slobbered over him even more than the Europeans did. From another piece:

"When Obama walked on stage at the McCormick Center, many journalists in the audience leapt to their feet and applauded enthusiastically after being told not to do so. During a two-minute break halfway through the event, which was broadcast live on CNN, journalists ran to the stage to snap photos of Obama."

If George W. Bush thought for one minute his shady leadership would lead to a biracial of Black and White man, with the emphasis being on Black, becoming the demacratic presidential nominee, then Saddam Hussien would still be president of Iraq.If he had known such equality would come from his evil doings, then he would have worked his deciet in other ways. If he had known American peopple would come above his hateful treatment of Katrina victims and the massive number of Iraqi people dismayed or killed he would have remained on American soil and diplayed his wickedc ways! If this man George W. Bush of Europeon supremist culture had known the world would conjoin in unity in rallies here and afar rejoicing for Change We Can Believe, he would have known having Uncle Toms, Powell and Rice would not subdue the minds of all.
