I just opened an e-mail from Sen. Barack Obama which included this video and his announcement that he is forming a Presidential Exploratory Committee. I doubt there is any turning back, so this is a big day for someone who hopes very much that he might bring this country new leadership and a new way of addressing sharply divisive issues we face as a nation. After a period of consulting with people around the country, he will announce his plans on February 10th.
Click on the video to hear him read the statement, and click here for the transcript.
What a mind-numbing decision he and his family are making. Whatever the outcome, I wish him and his family godspeed and safe journey.
