 Never Underestimate The Power Of Hope From the start, the odds were against him. A virtual unknown. An inexperienced Senator from Illinois. A half black man rumored to be a Muslim. A Christian under the leadership of a black, radical Pastor. A man in America with a very Muslim, foreign sounding name. An American? Indonesian? Kenyan? What's on the birth certificate? Although viewed with some skepticism, he was followed with intrigue. When Barack H. Obama threw his name into the political ring to compete for the Presidency of the United States, very few took
