Obama x VIBE

NEW YORK — Barack Obama has a message for the readers of Vibe: "I need you."

In a letter to be published in the November issue, the Democratic presidential candidate is given a page to address the readers of the urban music monthly magazine. In it, Obama urges them to register to vote, saying, "We are at a defining moment in our history."

"I am running for president to take this country in a new direction. But I can't do it alone. I need you," the letter reads. "Whether it's the first time, or the first time in a long time, I need you to register and vote on November 4."

Obama is featured on the cover of the magazine for the second time _ the first was for the September 2007 issue. He also gets the endorsement of the magazine, the first presidential endorsement ever made by Vibe.

Keeping with my minimum of 128 Obama posts per day, this here is pretty big. Robert DeNiro is big too, but this brings the tally to 2 magazines (Rolling Stones) that out right endorsed the junior senator from Illinois! If he doesn't win (polls are looking good right now though)a lot of people are going to be disappointed! That being said, there a many who are extremely sceptical no matter how good his chances look. We'll find out what time it really is in just over 30 days...
