Barack Obama explains why he entered the 2008 presidential race even though he's relatively young (46) and relatively inexperienced on the national stage, he invokes a phrase attributed to Martin Luther King Jr.: the fierce urgency of now. The nation's problems can't wait any longer to be solved, Obama says, and if he can make a difference he wants to do it now.
