    Obama Begins Bid for the White House

    Illinois Senator Barak Obama ways he will introduce legislation for a "phased redeployment" of US troops in Iraq. Is that the "new kind of politics" that Obama says will trump inexperience in his run for president? Will black Americans identify with a man who shares their color but not their culture? Plus, the White House makes concessions on its domestic eavesdropping program, and weather all over the country is just different enough to raise questions about global warming.
