senator barack obama drug use

Politics is never as simple as race and sex. Despite paying its debts in Illinois and won a seat in the Senate, Barack Obama discover that being sexy black and not go further.

There are degrees of credibility in the black U.S. policy. Those whose ancestors have lived through the terrible years of slavery, may well consider that a guy like Obama with a Kenyan father and white mother has not "lived" the experience of black Americans in the hard way.

Regarding his professional career, Obama has risen through the ranks by taking the road well attended by many prominent black leaders. No service as a pastor or an activist in the NAACP. Some in the black community see it as too new, too fast and too smooth. A Harvard graduate who has made his candidacy. A guy with a foot in the field of white.

There are those who reject it because they believe is able to relate to his legacy of slavery and oppression, in spite of his task as a civil rights lawyer in Chicago. Some in the African-American Barack Obama is an outsider credentials. A charming smooth operator who wants their support in a race for leadership of the nation without having to pay the "tax" they expect a leader of high profile. As expected a significant minority have been slow to deliver.

Guys like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton have been cool to Obama. This situation could change, of course, because you can not deny the status superstar Barack Hussein Obama. It seems every inch the horse's back. But it will not be a walk through a very turbulent Obama becomes habit. Many African-Americans think that the Editor snapper still has bills to pay.

A number of potential sponsors are wary also alleged "baggage". Minimization of Muslim origin, admitted drug use and other issues related to the alleged "invention" in the writing of his autobiography – Dreams My Father. "Then of course there's also the question of experience. Hillary Clinton has recently spoken to his deficit this department when it comes to a race to the highest office in the country.

Despite all the suspicions and the criticisms of Obama, also has positive aspects. As it has not found inside a track like Jesse Jackson, who brings a fresh perspective and different, which can not be "black" in the traditional sense, but who cares. Why this should be about race and racial baggage? Of course, these issues are important, but after George Bush did not America needs a unification can heal the divisions? I do not know if Obama is this person, but he has a refreshing energy and enthusiasm around him. Being "different" in their own way, has the potential to bring together Americans of various racial and cultural origins.

Time will tell. I hope I'm ready for the broadsides that will be coming of Hillary Clinton. His term in office, if successful, will be far from plain sailing.
