I also want him to run and I'm white and from NY! Hillary has more skeletons than B.O. Normal people can give if they want ,just find your local campaign headquarters. I hope he wins. It would be a great change for this country. There should have been a black president by now. The constitution etc. wasn't just created for white america, and it should be updated periodically so that there is opportunity and protection for everyone. If Barack starts on the right track he will surpass Clinton come election day, but he needs to get out there now, and let the world know what issues are at the forefront for him, and let us know what his plans are if elected President, before Hillary does. She's waiting for something. I don't however think we will ever be ready for a woman president.

If you go to the politician's website, there should be information regarding how to make donations. There is a dollar limit, which I can't remember off the top of my head, but it's pretty high.
As far as Barrack Obama, I think he should wait another 4 years. Although there have been other candidates without much political experience (Abe Lincoln, another Illinois politician, would be a good example), I think Obama would help his own case to get another 4 years in the Senate, particularly because of the foreign policy problems plaguing the U.S. right now.

I think it's going to be an interesting mudslinging fight between Obama and Clinton. Clinton aready dug up that Obama got his early education in a muslim madrassa in Jakarta, something he neglected to mention in his biography, but then it's not liked he hugged Yassir Arafat every chance he got. Honesty, wouldn't that be nice to have? But does Obama have the experience to face off with belligerent Russia and an increasingly hostile China, deal with the social security crisis, spread of WMDs amongst rogue states and terrorist networks, not to mention have the button to launch the nations's nuclear arsenal, at his finger tips?

Any one can give to a presidential campaign, as soon as he officially declares, simply check out his website to find a link on where to donate money to his campaign.
As a libertarian I personally am not a fan of his but I think he is probably the best candidate on the Democratic side. In his book "The Audacity of Hope" he wrote "we need more engineers and less lawyers". I like that.
I think he will force Hillary to the left side of the political spectrum (she has been trying to co-opt her husband's strategy of appearing middle of the road). This will give the public a better view of what kind of politician Hillary is. I like that too.
The only problem I have with him is the fact that he is a heavy smoker. I think this sets a bad example for kids and I would hope that a man who wants the highest office in the land would have enough will power to quit cigs.
Also rooting for him based on the color of his skin is just a racist as not voting for him based on the color of his skin. I think we have gotten to a point as a society where color should not matter.
I have a dream where a candidate is judged on the content of his character, not his religion or the color of his skin.

I have a better idea! Why don't you Dims leave your congressional Lawyers in the Senate, and help me try to put the former and current Secretaries of State where they belong, in the Executive Seat!
That way all you Libbies can feel too good about yourselves getting both people of color and a woman there without destroying our friggin country!
A Win Win situation!-Heck we might even get lucky and Billory will lose her Senate Seat in the process of abandoning her position!

No, no, no!!! There's alot of things that people don't know about him that is slowly coming out that is not very good at all. It would be a big mistake to vote him into presidency. I can't stand Hillary Clinton, but I will take her anytime over this guy.

Yes normal people can give money and I'm sure he'd be glad to get yours. In fact one reason people declare 'exploratory' evaluation of whether to run is because then they can start getting money.
I will vote against him if he runs because he is a globalist and inexperienced. Either is bad, in my eyes.

It does not matter to me one way or another if he runs for President. He will not be elected. I do not think he stood much of a chance before but now with this Muslim connection there is no way he will win.

It looks like he will run. Because of his lack of experience, he may not get nominated this time or he may be in the VP spot. Yes, ordinary people can contribute. Wait until he formally announces and has a website.
