However, as I watched closely, I began to realize that the true person for this giant task, at this particular time was Senator Barack Obama. He brought a different flavor and sense of commitment to this presidential campaign that no one else in the past has been able to do. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, I attempt to demonstrate that every time a Black American has broken down barriers and succeeded in his or her career, it has only made America better. I want America to see that Black Americans have always had to run from the back of the pack in order to get to the front and achieve success; but each time they have run and won, America has become greater. I want Black Americans to believe in their history and believe that America can support a Black American for President, especially one who believes in all Americans, regardless of race or ethnicity. I believe that Barack Obama's time is now. He is the new \"Jubilee\"; a leader, ready and able to lead America.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eBinding Type:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Smith, Charles N.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/16\/2008\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Outskirts Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781432727918\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 156\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.62lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 10.00h x 7.00w x 0.33d","brand":"Charles N.
