To some extent I understand the fascination among much of the public with Illinois' junior senator, Barack Obama. Charming, intelligent, handsome, the man does have some selling points. However, in the 19 months he's been a US Senator, he hasn't done much.
On the other hand, since he's been touted as presidential material for two years now, and he hasn't done anything to embarrass himself, it's only natural that the speculation over a President Obama will continue.
And now, in the upcoming edition of Men's Vogue, Barack is joining in the whispering campaign about himself.
From CBS 2 Chicago:
In an interview with writer Jacob Weisberg, Obama talks more than ever about the possibility of running for President.
Obama is quoted in the magazine, “Look, it was highly unlikely that I would ever be a U.S. senator, so it’s very flattering for people to talk about a presidential race."
"My attitude about something like the presidency is that you don’t want to just be the president, you want to change the country. You want to make a unique contribution. You want to be a great president," Obama adds in the article.
Photos by famed celebrity photographer Annie Liebovitz of Obama with his family are also included in the magazine.
