In his October 2006 Time magazine cover story, Primary Colors author Joe Klein compared the cultural sources of Barack Obama's rapid rise and crossover appeal to those of U.S. celebrity icons Tiger Woods, Oprah Winfrey and Michael Jordan.
When he was asked to comment, Barack Obama said; "Figures like Oprah, Tiger, Michael Jordan give people a shortcut to express their better instincts" ... "I think it's healthy, a good instinct. I just don't want it to stop with Oprah. I'd rather say, If you feel good about me, there's a whole lot of young men out there who could be me if given the chance."
Strong answer and response from Obama.
