So Barack Obama has finally declared publicly his intention to run for the 2008 US presidential election. During my first few months in Chicago I heard him speak a few times on local television and I made a mental note to remember the name of this engaging and articulate man. In July 2004, I wrote after the National Democratic Convention that "his words made me think that I was watching the one day future President of the United States of America." Watch this space as this story has only just began.
