I saw him on Oprah and he seems like a down to earth man. He is the Senator of Illinois He has a book called the Audacity of hope. The word is people think he may be the next US president. As for being a good president, we just have to see what he promises and if he actually comes through.

To your question I would suggest that you do personal research on such a broad question. First of all he is a Democrat, he's African American. He'a a published author, and he is charismatic. Obama has been quite active intelllectually and he has been traveling and making himself quite visible in various constituencies. He may be a bit inexperienced to be running for the office of President, but, he would make a better candidate than many of those who plan to run. Given more time to formulate his vision on the leadership of this country he, would make an ideal candidate for President. Check out his official website at obama.senate.gov. . . . I think he has more to say on foreign relations and on education than is currently being said.

Barack Hussein Obama was born in Hawaii to an African father and American anglo Mom.The Dad split(what a surprise).With a middle name like Hussein....I don't know?
He seems like a descent guy but he really is super liberal.
Although the Republicans tried to get at least 5 blacks elected to the Congress this year ,Obama still says they are racist.Typical liberal BS.Clinton never made a black Secretary of State,Sec. of Education,National Security Advisor etc.

Barack Obama was a state senator from Illinois when he won the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate in March of 2004. Should he win the seat, the charismatic politician would become only the third African American to serve in the Senate since Reconstruction. His selection as the keynote speaker at the Democratic National Convention that July confirmed his status as a rising star.
Obama was born in Hawaii. His father was a black man from Kenya, his mother a white woman from Kansas who had moved to Honolulu with her parents. Obama's father left the family to attend Harvard and eventually returned to Kenya, where he worked as a government economist. His mothers second husband was an Indonesian oil manager, and Obama lived in that country from the ages of six to ten years old. Afterward, he went back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents.
Although Obamas father only visited him once after he left, the son grew up with stories of his fathers brilliant mind. Obama honed his own mind at Hawaiis top prep academy, Punahou School. From there, Obama went to Columbia University, where he became interested in community activism. After graduating in 1983, he moved to Chicago to spend three years as a community organizer on the citys poverty-stricken South Side.
Obamas intellect, drive, and social conscience led to his decision to become a lawyer. He went to Harvard Law School, where he became the first African-American president of the prestigious Harvard Law Review. Upon his graduation (magna *** laude) in 1991, Obama shunned offers of prominent law firms and impressive clerkships in order to practice civil rights law in Chicago. He also took a position teaching constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. Soon the idealistic young attorney became involved in politics.
Obama was elected to the Illinois Senate in 1996, representing the 13th District as a Democrat. His work there included writing landmark legislation to stop racial profiling and sponsoring a bill to expand medical coverage for uninsured children. He also developed a reputation for an inclusive style that eschewed mud-slinging and gained the admiration of his opponents. Republican state Senator Kirk Dillard told William Finnegan of the New Yorker, "Obama is an extraordinary man. His intellect, his charisma. Hes to the left of me on gun control, abortion. But he can really work with Republicans."

He's a senator from Illinois and in 2004 he made a speech at the Democratic National Convention which was very charismatic and powerful. He's half black and half white.

A well spoken first term senator that everyone has fallen in love with just because he speaks so well and is so much more articulate than GWB.
