1. Running for President isn't just a casual selection, as we have seen from the last few races. It's not enough to strongly desire that position. You have to have the whole package together to market yourself to the US. I can think of many who tried to run, but just didn't have it.
2. Clinton comes the closest to having had the whole package together, along with the charisma. He left trillions in surplus. That's an impossible act to follow.
3. Right now, the Democratic Party has still not conveyed the winner's motto to its constituents: "One for all and all for one."
4. You see it all the time. The Democrats have the most segregated party, with numbers of splinter groups only out for themselves and keeping to themselves. Groups need to integrate and stand strong with eachother — reach out and support eachother.
5. The Republicans are diverse, but have that motto down.
6. Democrats are not liberal — only when it suits them. They don't believe in Human Rights for LGBT, even though LGBT pay the same taxes. Probably the most hated group wanting support for the same equal rights, for hate crimes to stop and profiling to stop. Maybe LGBT should withdraw it huge Democratic vote and look to a new party where 'pick-and-choose' is not exist — all are welcome to life.
7. I liked so many of Al Sharpton's speeches. They were brilliant, but he couldn't carry Kerry in the election.
8. The real question to me is: Is there anyone brave enough out there, who doesn't care what liars say, & will speak over them to address the real problems in this country at core level?
9. You'll never hear a politician get up and say, "The reason the classrooms are overcrowded, is because we, as a country, overpopulate." Our overpopulation problem is like bad credit card debt. Etc. with the problems in the US. You know what the deal is.
10. If the motto is concretely in place at next election, then maybe Barak Obama has a chance. But, we first have to find out what he's bringing to the table, before we can really say we support his agenda for the US.
11. You have to be ruthless. I liked Dean at first, but after he ran though almost all his campaign money in the first round, I figured out he couldn't handle money, or didn't know how to manage to get the right people who could. There are blatant, and subtle things that tell you a lot about the incumbent.
12. I have heard that it's going to be a 'Women's Run'. Hillary vs. Condoleeza. It still amazes me that Condoleeza allows that sexist 'Condi' name, when adressing her. Do they call the pres. Georgie, or v.p. Dickey? No. She's party to a group that oppress her by address. I find it very disrespectful to her position.
Good Luck and Warm Wishes.

I think America is ready for a fresh, new change. Obama doesn't have the "experience" that career politicians have, and that's a GOOD THING!
In politics, the more "experience" you get, the more corrupt you become.
America hasn't been as ready for change since 1992 when H. Ross Perot captured 19% of the popular vote. Let's do it again!

Ready for what? A black president? Sure. I think we are long past due for some variety. However I will not vote for someone based on there skin color, so if he is black but has sh!tty politics then sorry charlie. What I am saying is that I will not vote for someone who is black because I think it would be nice to see a president who is a woman or is of an other race. It is all about there beliefs and there politics.

I love the man & I would vote for him, but he wouldn't win. America is not yet ready for a black nor a woman. That's just the way it is. Maybe 4 more years?

RUN BARAK RUN, but please get more time in first! I don't think his race will be a problem for anyone. He will be swimming in even deeper water with the sharks, so he needs more experience in politics before he tries out for President. We'll be waiting for him!

yes he should run... might as well get it out of the way because he isn't going to win either way. it's not a question of whether or not America is ready for it, it's a question of whether such a thing would be good for America... of course the answer is "no."
we don't need a homeboy trying to "keep it real" in WHITE House. we need a strong leader who is pro-America... not pro-affirmative action and pro-pigs feet.
barak Usama bin laden can't win... Thank God
