Toni Morrison endorses “Obama for America”
By Karen Juanita Carrillo

Major corporate media were surprised when Barack Obama won the Iowa caucuses on January 3, 2008.  

But, besides the media, the one person who was probably the most surprised by the win was his number one challenger for the Democratic Party nomination, Hillary Clinton.
