I like him

Hi Kelly - I like him, too - it's really neat to think that we might once again have a president who can speak in actual sentences, rather than a hodgepodge of disjointed phrases. I also think he beleives that government is supposed to be good for individual humans, not just corporate life-forms.
I am disturbed that he voted for the Bankruptcy Reform Law, which put billions of dollars in the hands of financial institutions, at the expense of working folks who've caught a bad break - such as a major illness for which they were uninsured.
Time will tell - I want to see him react to a major crisis for which he hasn't had a chnce to prepare a position paper before I commit to him.

I do too, but he hasn't been in Washington long enough and he has almost next to no experience in foreign affairs. And, he hasn't really introduced any significant legislation either. His best bet - vice president and get 8 years experience there and then run and we'll have 16 years of peace and prosperity under two consecutive Democratic administrations. If he were to run and get elected in 2008, it would be a Democratic version of George Bush only intelligent. Bush had no foreign affairs experience and look how he's butchered that - we don't need the same thing with a Democrat. Obama's young, he has time and he can learn a lot in 8 years as the vice president under (choose one) Hillary/ Joe Biden/ John Kerry / Al Gore.

Obama would be a perfect candidate. No one knows anything about him and the national media people love him. All we would ever hear about him would be how "wonderful" he is. Actually, why would anyone think that he was qualified? Very few people know much about him really and he hasn't had to take a stand on very many important and controversial issues. He is still in his "honeymoon phase" in the Senate. He is very liberal and supports almost every liberal issue. Hold onto your wallet too. He is a typical liberal Democrat who believes that taxpayers can always "give a little more".

He's getting good press, and would stand a better chance than a female, not because of who she is but because Americans are not ready for a woman president.

Just for the bust-a-gut factor how about a Hillary and Obama ticket next time around. I like them too, very hard workers. Not that that counts for much with the hysterical factions.

nothing is wrong with being pro-affirmative action, I think he would make a great candidate,and you say hold on to my wallet. Well with the cost of gas and this false war in iraq that we are paying for that the current inexperienced CONSERVATIVE politican got us into,why should I hold on to it, It's empty.

"I like him."
I liked Bill Clinton as a person too. Never voted for him, and never would. "Like" doesn't have much to do about it.
What do you "like" about him? What do you know about his policies? What do you think he'd do as President?
From what I've seen, Osama is a very liberal guy, and since I'm a conservative guy Osama won't be getting my vote.

I don't. He pro-Illegal, and he pro affirmative action. Too left for me.
