After all, who is more of an expert in competence and leadership than Ray Nagin?

New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin endorsed Barack Obama for president today, giving the Illinois Democrat another superdelegate in his battle for the Democratic nomination.

"Since the immediate days following the storm, I have been traveling to our nation's capitol to advocate for policies that aid our rebuilding effort," Nagin said in a statement released by the Obama campaign. "I know first hand, we desperately need the leadership of someone committed to changing the system in Washington that can hold us back from moving forward."

Obama said he shares Nagin's commitment to "renewing the great city of New Orleans." He also called the restoration of the city "one of the great national challenges of our time."

"I look forward to working with him and all New Orleanians to prepare for the storms that may come while advancing opportunity and prosperity for the people of the great American city," Obama said.

Given his superb handling of his city during Hurricane Katrina, IÂ’m certain that we now know what we have to look forward to under an Obama Administration.

Gun-grabbing from the law-abiding.

Sky-rocketing homicide rate.

Utter incompetence from a political neophyte.

After all, look what Nagin has given to Chocolate City!
