There are so many people running for mayor of Chicago that is hard to keep track of them all. However, the best candidate has not announced — yet.
Of course, we all know who this person is: Barack Obama.
Former President Obama has the credentials, credibility and, no doubt, the consent of a majority of the people of Chicago.
The former community organizer and Nobel Peace Prize winner could end the hostility among the black, brown and white communities of Chicago. He could easily raise more money than all his opponents combined to fund his campaign. Most important, Obama would have a Democratic-controlled City Council and would not have to deal with people such as U.S. Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and U.S. House Speaker Paul Ryan.
I eagerly anticipate his run for mayor, and I cannot wait until he becomes the Man on Five.
— Stan Palder, Chicago
