Senator Barack Obama officially announced his bid for Presidency, urging an end to the Iraq war and portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation.
 
He is the youngest contender among his fellow Democrats and, if elected, would be the first black US President.
 
"Let us transform this nation," he said at the campaign's kickoff yesterday. Obama is already considered one of the top challengers in his party to front-runner Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton for the 2008 election.
