Keep them away...

As Mr.Obama continues to weigh the consequences and
trials of making a run for the Presidency, here's
hoping that he takes the approach of making this run
as the right person for the job.

Not the right person of color, but the right PERSON,
period.

If Mr.Obama turns this into a racial crusade, or
decides he needs to carry a torch, or allow polarizing
personalities (Sharpton, Jackson, or worst of all,
Oprah) to co-opt their agendas to his candidacy, he
will lose.

Mr. Obama carries an intelligence, common sense, and
eloquence the office sorely needs. He is legitimately
electable, as a person of America, with life
experiences that many citizens can relate to.

As a person who grew up with limited means, facing
obstacles many other Americans face, working to create
his own opportunities, and having the guts, brains,
and sometimes luck to capitalize on them makes him a
person everyone can relate to.

Just don't play the race card or focus on making
history. If he runs as a compelling, intelligent, and
common-sensical person, he has a legitimate chance to
be President. History will take care of itself.
