-- U.S. Sen. Barack Obama (above right) yesterday, reflecting on the Democratic Presidential race run by him and Sen. Hillary Clinton (above left).'I've heard from a number of people already, both black and white, that their kids -- 7, 8, 9 years old -- take for granted now that of course a black can run for president. Of course a woman can run for president. There's a matter of factness to it that I think bodes well for the future.'
