Barack Obama out of the race
 

Reuters - Word has come through official channels that Barack Obama has indeed decided to step down from running for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States. Citing the hopeless delegate situation, his inability to secure votes in Ohio and Texas, and the urgent need to end bitter divisions and unite the Democratic Party ahead of the general elections, Barack Obama's campaign has said he is withdrawing from the race today "for the good of the Party."

Although most election analysts said that he ran an effective campaign, pundits have cited the effects of his ties to Dr. Jeremiah Wright as well as implications in the Resko case may have cost him votes in key states especially in places that are heavily favored to be Republican strongholds. Those two key events in March still have not sat well with many Americans although he started picking up steam in the polls. This news also comes as a shock to many after Obama gained endorsements last week by Pennsylvania Senator Bob Casey and Gov. Bill Richardson of New Mexico.

No word yet has come from the Clinton campaign on reactions to this developing story.

A concession speech by Obama is due to be delivered at noon EST.

That was a good one, DaemonSeid... no one around me "celebrates" April Fools' Day, so I haven't been expecting it... thanks for the jolt. :D

As the "Queen Jokester" on April Fools Day....I didn't bite for a second.

be sure to pass it on....hehehe...I have pitchforks and torches coming my way at work....LOL

Smart people wouldn't fall for this joke, though. :p

heck up until an hr ago, one of my co workers couldn't get the link to work...and we didn't give her a clue...hehehe

You're just realizing this today. hehe. :p

I had a feeling a while ago...today just proves it.

wow...

one of my friends just called a local radio station to confirm this....

they state:

I just spoke with Sistah Justine Love at WPGC (95.5 FM) in the DMV area about this HOAX!

She said that they DO NOT have ANY such info. And that we SHOULD NOT FEED INTO this!

Most likely it's an April Fools "joke" which is NOT funny at all!


.....I'm sorry when you go that far to call a radio station......hehehehe

April Fool's Day can end the world.

Keep the jokes harmless and fun and stay away from dumb, gullible people.

That's an everyday rule. Not just for today. :D

and what fun would that be?

It would show that Darwinism worked!
