1."There is not a black America, and a white America, a Latino America, and an Asian America -- we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America," he declared to roaring applause. - Obama.

2. Jessie Jackson, a veteran of losing Democratic presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, has not endorsed Obama. Neither has the Rev. Al Sharpton, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 who has not ruled out another run.

3. Sniff, sniff........I think I smell hater-aid in the Jackson - Sharpton camp?

1st: Assume this be the most nasty & dirty election in all of American History? (For Both parties) i.e. Hillary vs Obama, Edwards & Rudy vs Rom, Mcain etc. Nader as Independent.

2nd: Assume Bush will attack Iran before the end of his term; and the new President will have to deal with that.

Opinions please. To me it seems as if we are running up to the most historic and meaningful elections our country has ever faced.

What is your vision of America in 2009?

I think it's because the Democrats don't like him, because he's Republican, and the Republicans don't like him because he's too liberal. Is it simply that he's too moderate?

How do you feel?

With the recent proclaimant, Barack Obama entering the assured multi-party Presidential election, I am researching all I can find about each candidate.
What slant does Mr. Obama intend to offer in his candidacy? I hear that he offers a Liberal perspective of his chosen party. What angle (either PRO-POLITICAL or PRO-ISSUE) should we expect through his tenure as United States President?

Obama Ties '08 Bid to Lincoln's Legacy

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill. waves to spectators as he arrives to announce his candidacy for president of the United States at the Old State Capitol in Springfield, Ill., Saturday, Feb. 10, 2007. (AP Photo/Charles Rex Arbogast) By NEDRA PICKLER
Associated Press Writer
SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- Barack Obama announced his bid for president Saturday, a black man evoking Abraham Lincoln's ability to unite a nation and a Democrat portraying himself as a fresh face capable of leading a new generation.
"Let us transform this nation," he told thousands shivering in the cold at the campaign's kickoff.

Obama, 45, is the youngest candidate in the Democrats' 2008 primary field dominated by front-runner Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton and filled with more experienced lawmakers. In an address from the state capital where he began his elective career 10 years ago, the first-term U.S. senator sought to distinguish himself as a staunch opponent of the Iraq war and a White House hopeful whose lack of political experience is an asset.

"I know I haven't spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington. But I've been there long enough to know that the ways of Washington must change," Obama said to some of the loudest applause of his 20-minute speech.

Obama is looking to cap his remarkable, rapid rise to prominence with the biggest political prize of all -- the presidency. His elective career began just 10 years ago in the Illinois Legislature. He lost a bid for a U.S. House seat, then won the Senate seat in 2004, a relatively smooth election made easier by GOP stumbles.

In his speech, Obama did not mention his roots as the son of a man from Kenya and a woman from Kansas, his childhood in Hawaii and Indonesia or the history he would make if elected. That compelling biography has turned him into a political celebrity.

Being that Obama's mother is white, do you think the results of his campaign for President would be different if he had MARRIED a white woman instead of an African American woman and how do you think both of those will affect his campaign. Please give thought ful answers.

Please people I am really interested in knowing how people feel about this, so say how you really feel. We all know that people don't vote only on the issues, they vote on their perceptions of the candidate. Some people vote MOSTLY on their perceptions of the candidate.

If it comes to it; there could be a choice between an african american and a woman. How politically correct is that?

Would that influence your decision or would you vote on policies? Do you just take the "party line" regardless?

Asking because i am interested. I'm English by the way.
