Black Enterprise magazine spent some time with him a few weeks before his DNC speech. The article isn't long on accuracy (they seem to think that we will take back the Senate because we have strong candidates in NC/SC/LA/FL...apparently they didn't realize that we already have all those seats and if we had a miracle and won every single one of them then we'd still need a few more to get a majority), but if you want another perspective on Obama's rise to stardom against all odds, and how the black community helped him when many others were backing more establishment candidates, it's a worthy read.
