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.
Since then attacks on Obama
have come by way of both the media and Clinton campaign. And yet the Illinois senator was able to win his second major
victory, by taking 55 percent of the vote in the South Carolina Democratic primary on January 26, 2008.
And now
Barack’s “Obama for America” themed campaign is even gaining more leverage, as it has won influential endorsements from Nobel and Pulitzer Prize-winning author Toni Morrison;
from Sen. Edward M. Kennedy (D-Mass.); from Ted’s son, the current Rhode Island Democratic Party Rep. Patrick Kennedy;
as well as from Caroline Kennedy, the daughter of the thirty-fifth president of the United States, John F. Kennedy. read more
