Comments Appear In Men's Vogue Magazine Interview
(CBS) CHICAGO U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) is now talking openly about running for the White House.
The senator graces the cover of the September-October issue of Men’s Vogue magazine, which hits the stands on Aug. 22.
In an interview with writer Jacob Weisberg, Obama talks more than ever about the possibility of running for President.
Obama is quoted in the magazine, “Look, it was highly unlikely that I would ever be a U.S. senator, so it’s very flattering for people to talk about a presidential race."
“My attitude about something like the presidency is that you don’t want to just be the president, you want to change the country. You want to make a unique contribution. You want to be a great president,” Obama adds in the article. Photos by famed celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz of Obama with his family are also included in the magazine.
Why not Obama, If Sharpton Can, so can Obama.
You are so right.
God knows how he would change the country?
the Big Difference between Obama and Osama is one letter.
Men's Vogue magazine? That's pretty disturbing itself!
And in the blue corner, running on the metrosexual platform...
Guy spends 2 years in the Senate and thinks he'll be president.
bs
Well, he IS a Democrat...
b..... s.... ha
Please note that this Obama love fest is coming to you from CBS in Chicago...Obama's hometown.
I overheard a (liberal) relative gushing about Obama and the desire for him to run for President.
I said, 'Tell me everything you know about him'.
The silence told me everything; he better have a good backstory 'cause he's gonna have trouble living up to the hype...
Can anyone name one specific positive accomplishment during his two-year senate career? Anyone?
He better make sure he never gets on the wrong side of the moonbats.
I had to laugh while he was questioning John Bolton in Bolton's confirmation hearing a few weeks ago. He read something and then challenged Bolton on it, and it turns out it was written by JOSH BOLTEN, WH Chief of Staff, and not by John Bolton. So Obama stammered and stuttered and ended up talking about what a mess Darfur is, and John Bolton agreed. End of questioning by "soon to be president Obama." What a complete waste of space that guy is. BWAHAHAHA!!!
He's a democrat and hasn't driven his car off a bridge drunk?
Barack Obama was born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, Hawaii to Harvard University-educated economist Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a native of Kenya and a Muslim. His mother is Shirley Ann Dunham, of Wichita, Kansas. At the time of Obama's birth, both his parents were students at the East-West Center of the University of Hawaii at Manoa.
Every senator thinks that after being one for five minutes.
