Barack Obama Announces His Candidacy for President

On the morning of February 10, 2007, Barack Obama announced that he's running for President from the steps of the Old State Capital in Springfield, IL. The crowd drowns him out, but I think that's OK.

Exactly Hiei2k7: As a republican voting Obama this election, and just visiting the Capital in Springfield. I feel this is an amazing time, and a time for America to finally heal itself from the policies of old! :)

"What's stopped us is the failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics - the ease with which we're distracted by the petty and trivial, our chronic avoidance of tough decisions" This from a guy who voted present over 130 times and is running America into the ground? America now knows he isn't serious.
