Hillary Clinton for President
On Saturday, Hillary Clinton officially announced her bid for the 2008 U.S. presidential race. The Former First Lady is a Democrat who is currently serving her second term as senator of New York.In a videotaped message on her website, Hillary Clinton lambasted George Bush, saying that "Only a new president will be able to undo Bush's mistakes and restore our hope and optimism."
According to the Star online, there are currently five candidates vying for Democatic leadership. Barack Obama, a senator from Illinois, is considered Hillary Clinton's biggest competition.
Upon hearing Clinton's announcement, Obama stated: "I welcome her and all the candidates, not as competitors, but as allies in the work of getting our country back on track."
Whether it is Clinton or Obama (who is half-black) who succeeds in winning the Democratic leadership race, it is refreshing to see political minorities finally moving into the spotlight.
