Obama is not a presidential candidate (yet). Remember, Colin Powell was also cheered on to run in the past. But when you're a person of color, and you just don't want to run as a protest or leverage candidate (AL Sharpton) you sure as hell better be aware of what you're going to run into. Colin Powell was aware, and he didn't run. What may scare the country about Obama the most is that he might even have a chance to win. There was a point once where Jesse Jackson was actually leading the field for the Democratic nomination. Once he went into the lead it was all over for him.
