“Some colleagues
of mine here have talked me into running for the Illinois State Senate (like
being an MP for a province),” the future world leader wrote his kin in July
1995, before his political career began.
“I have
agreed, since I have an interest in politics to deal with some serious issues
blacks face here,” Obama wrote. The letter also reveals Obama’s disdain for
meetings, saying, “Of course, it involves a lot of campaigning, going to
meetings and so on, which I don’t find so attractive.” He adds, “Anyway, if I
win it will only be a part-time post, and I will continue my work as a lawyer.”
Must be dead broke.
