No. I don't really see what's so great about him, he isn't exactly bringing new ideas to the table. He's a black man possibly aiming for the presidency, he's going to break the racial barrier for the highest office in the land..so? It won't matter if he perpetuates the policies put in place by the Republocrats and Demicans. Vote on the issues, not on color. MLK Jr. is rolling in his grave :\

Certainly not in the primary.
As a liberal, I feel he let us down..I would vote for him if he winds up the democratic nominee, but not expect much change under any democrat either especiallly is DLC endorsed. I'm not sure if Osama is or not.
I prefer in this order Kucinich, Barbara Boxer, any member of the black congressional caucas, John Edwards, Hillary, and Barack..
Obama has the rhetoric but not the actions..and actions speak louder than words they always say..

Some think he needs seasoning in International politics, however we have some one in power now that has no international experience... He's been in for 6 years and still seems to take positions that just piss everybody off. So one has to ask if ineptitude can be replaced by logic and common sense..It's obvious. Obama has stated that the key is to put yourself in the other mans shoes. In doing that you will understand his needs and wants. So you balance your responses with your needs in relation to the rest of the worlds and try and achieve a middle point that offers you a slight advantage without killing each other. Offering a few in this country untold wealth at the expense of poverty and death for the rest of the planet doesn't seem to be working. There are a lot of good points about Mr Obama, but Barack himself gives you the answer. He see's logic in both Conservative and Progressive points of view and thinks we should all keep an open mind. I tend to agree. Listen intently to what all of them say and then vote for the one who has that intuitive logical point of view in his responses.

Yes, in 2012. He is no where near ready for a job of this magnitude. It takes experience. He has only been Senator for a few years. He might try VP under Hillary in 2008.

No. he promised to fulfill his term in Illinois. If he runs he breaks that promise and can not be trusted. And yes I know that politicians do that alot, but it is not a good sign for his ethics.

I would have to find out if the websites that claim he is hiding being Muslim are correct and that he had dealings with Rezko, a dubious figure.

I wouldn't vote for any Republican at the moment beacause they seem to screw up the country every time they are in office(i.e. Iraq War, Reaganomics). I also will vote for anybody who is not Hilary Clinton. She is just crazy. Overall i would vote for Barack Obama.

Why? Because the media says I should. Because it's the pc thing to do? I vote for the candidate,not someone who's flavor of the month.

Let's see, vote for a junior senator who votes along party lines is very inexperinced and yet the media treats him like the savior?--- NO.
