Obama says Republicans have failed
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Sen. Barack Obama accuses Republicans of failed leadership in a new Democratic fundraising solicitation sent Monday, the day after the Illinois senator made headlines for acknowledging interest in running for president.
"Now is our time to make our mark on history," Obama writes in the e-mail to potential Democratic Congressional Committee contributors. "The Republican's have had their chance to lead -- and they have failed. We have had enough!" Obama said on NBC's "Meet the Press" Sunday that the enthusiasm he has received while campaigning for Democratic candidates has led him to consider a potential presidential run. In an interview with CNN's Larry King last week, Obama expressed similar interest in a potential White House run. --CNN Ticker Producer Alexander Mooney
