In two days Obama will announce his candidacy for President of the United States in Springfield, Illinois. This is a happy and proud day for many that support him and his campaign.

But for the naysayers it has been a constant barrage of negative comments from what are his qualifications to blacks haven't moved towards him. Every candidate has their positive and negative points, but the media and any other communications writer have concentrated on any and every negative aspect of this man's life. To have become a United States Senator says alot about the positive forces in his life.

This writer personally backs another candidate, but that doesn't mean I will use any and every opportunity to tear down Obama's candidacy and others shouldn't either. His skin color gives no one the right to spin his life in negativity.

Instead of an old saying, here's a new one: "No positive? Leave the negative alone."
