I can see this is how the whole race will be. Anytime someone criticizes him, it will be decried as racism. Already I have been called racist despite the act I have supported numerous black canidates.
Neo-libs love them ad hominems, don't they?

You're always going to have somebody who thinks that any criticism of an African-American is racist, whether it is or not. Even on these boards there are people who insist that Americans will only vote for old white men for President, and that somehow proves we're all bigoted. I was perfectly willing to support Colin Powell for President in '08, until a recent interview where he advocated one of the most suicidal suggestions of the Iraq Study Group.

Nope, it will be more about his inexperience and his stance. He leans too far to the left. He hasn't been in the Senate for long enough for anyone to really know his leadership capabilities. He doesn't stand a chance against Hillary Clinton whom I don't agree with either.

No. Some will criticize him because of his supposed inexperience. Others merely because he's a Democrat. What I find interesting is that other than trivial, inconsequential nitpicking, no one has come up with any compelling arguments to support the notion that he's not qualified to lead the country.

Neo-libs? Lol, aren't you cute.
The answer to your question is no. However, if he runs, race will obviously place a major role. Are we ready for a Black President? How could we not be? What's the difference?

Every criticism of Bush is construed as anti-american, anti-civilization, pro-terrorist liberal ranting. But then maybe we'll be nicer about you criticising people who represent us.

no,as long as it isn't stupid criticism based on his name or color.
here's a thought,find out what his policies are and what he is for or against and criticize those things if you feel the need. try not to bash based on party either. have fun.

Your last 6 questions were about Obama. What is your problem with him?
You know there are SEVERAL other Democratic Candidates running for Senate. And their platforms are incredibly similar, so why continue to single out Obama?

Unfortunately yes, you can't say anything about anyone without it being picked apart, and miss-construed, anymore.

it's called politics... don't play the game all day and cry when someone else plays hardball... and conservatives use ad homonyms like it's about to be outlawed... if you ever actually paid attention to your own party...
politics may be a little too rough for you, since you're clearly quite fragile...
