Aiming To Face The Challenges

After a big win on Saturday, Barack appeared on an early Sunday television show and spoke of how he perceives the Primary in South Carolina as an example of changes in the American people. "I think that what we saw in this election was a shift in South Carolina, all across the country. I think people want change. I think they want to get beyond some of the racial politics that, you know, has been so dominant in the past." Obama gave recognition to Jesse Jackson for setting the precedent for blacks seeking the presidency. He also acknowledges that he has a challenge with Hillary Clinton's famous name in the coming big primary on February 5 when 22 states will be voting. About Florida, Obama said, "All the candidates made a pledge that we would campaign in the early states and we would not campaign in Florida and Michigan. I will abide by the promises I made."

"Our commitment cannot rest so long as we are still divided by race" Obama said, as he spoke Sunday at the Harvest Cathedral in Macon, Georgia. He talked about the homeless veterans, poor schools, uninsured people and unemployed workers as he was recounting the story of the 'Good Samaritan.'

Later on Sunday at the University of Alabama speaking to a crowd of 9,000 Barack Obama continued his crusade of disproving the old rhetorics of the South, "...that if you get black votes, you can't get white votes." At the Basketball arena Obama continued talking amid-st the cheers of the crowd. "We're going to write a new chapter in the South, we're going to write a new chapter in American history."
