This world is crazy. People are always interested in other people’s lives, and as a black politician, people are especially interested in seeing him fail.

He’s very intelligent and he’s black. He knows what middle America needs — someone who cares. |

He is a black man on the rise — and it’s our time.

His intellect has captivated America. Even though there are intelligent black men out there, they are not seen on the big stages. He has taken advantage of his education and background to make it to the top. |

He represents where we want to be as a country — or at least, what we preach to others we are. Unfortunately, though, America is still afraid to have a black man in power. |

He seems to be on top of the issues. He is a reflection of what is going on with people and is in tune with the American public. People need a change. |
