Barack Obama's in. A crowd of 5,000 is expected in Springfield, Ill as he makes his announcement.

For Obama, the nation's only black senator, it's an opportunity to compare his political message to that of Abraham Lincoln, another former Illinois legislator who stood in the same building and warned of the dangers of national division.

Obama's website will be running live streaming coverage of the announcement.

    Obama simply does not know, on a policy basis, what he is doing. His legislative actions have already done great harm to America just so he can prove that he is just another shade of the Jim Crow status quo in America.
