An interesting factoid I learned about in the 90s, was that no one with a vowel at the end of their name has ever been elected President of the US. If I was a gambler, I wouldn't bet on it.

He already is operating and already has very risky particular pastime communities in the back of him. yet maximum in all possibility received't win, till by some doubtful ability. even with the undeniable fact that the guy himself sounds like an exceptional guy, yet perhaps to eco-friendly for authorities. Now the Rudy is operating, he's the front runner, even over Hillary (Thank God)

I personally think that he will be used as a scapegoat to help gather more votes for the opposing party. Let's face it, for one thing he does not have enough experience to become President of the United States. Furthermore, he has the wrong skin color, and most importantly, I don't think the majority of the people who vote in the United States are mature enough to vote in a way that can be characterized as fair or unbiased...........

To answer your question, I think BARACK OBAMA will have a hard time being President, considering he hasn’t even decided to run. But if he were to run, I think he'd be an excellent candidate. (BUT YOU KNEW THAT, ‘RIGHT??)
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 mother’s 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 father’s brilliant mind. Obama honed his own mind at Hawaii’s 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 cities 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. He is an intellect, and is well spoken. In addition, he works well with Republicans.

no he won't become president, no saying that an African American will never become president but he is still a first term senator and people are looking for someone new and young to help us with Iraq, he shares the opinion of most Americans but some times that isn't the best political position

I don't believe so. If the Democrats want 4 more years of Republican leadership they should run either Obama or Hilary Clinton. I don't think America will elect a female or a guy who's ethnicity is "other".

Don't any of the Democrats give any thought to his name??? It isn't his color or even his experiance it's the fact he's muslim with a name similar to Saddams. Come on, wouldn't that be a little strange to the rest of the world we go to war over a Hussein and then elect one???

It's sad to say, but I don't think he will due to stereotype and the lack of knowledge. It's only an opinion, but I think the name alone for many ppl is a turn off.....especially if there is no immediate access to a picture or information by his name. For those who don't take the time to follow the political campaign before voting....they're going to make a decision based off of a stereotypical assumption.

I do not know the man.
But does he have the three requirements to be President?
1. White
2. Male
3. Billionaire
No one else ever wins. Sorry Hillary.

I think he could...but Hillary is running and when the Clinton attack machine is on the job, it's get out of the way or end up as roadkill. They'll humiliate him with searches and audits if he stays in. I think he'll avoid the fight and be her VP.
