Six years ago many of us could not really say with any authority
that we had heard of Barack Obama. Our first real glimpse of him came as he
delivered a keynote address at the Democratic National Convention held four
years ago. After hearing him speak that evening at the convention, I knew that
he was someone destined for something great as he captured America’s
attention. So approximately two years ago, Barack Obama now a U.S. senator from Illinois
announced that he would be running to be president of the United States of America.
Many Americans said Barack who? Barack Obama was not a familiar name on the
political landscape so the wonderment about whom he was and his politics was to
be expected. We should have known something was about to happen when Barack
Obama won the Iowa
caucus even though he was not favored to win. His campaign used the momentum
from the Iowa
victory and launched a drive never before seen in American history. Obama
certainly had the 3 c’s well in hand as he was competent, compassionate and
committed.
