Rep. Schakowsky Endorses Barack Obama
October 2, 2007, 7:53pm
Presidential candidate Barack Obama has won the endorsement of Rep. Jan Schakowsky, a fellow Illinois Democrat in Congress, based on his opposition to the Iraq war when that policy stance wasn’t necessarily a good political move.
“Barack Obama … is the only one [running for president] who really has the capacity to send a very different signal around the world, someone who can effectively go to capitals of both our allies and our adversaries and create a new new tone that creates the space for peace,” Schakowsky said in a video released by Obama’s campaign.
