What has Barack Obama done to deserve a nomination for the presidency?

Question

Obama! Obama! Obama fever seems to be everywhere. You can't watch any news show without hearing his name mentioned at least a dozen times. It is like he was the second coming.

But what has he done?

Oh, that is right. He gave the keynote speech for the 2004 nomination of John Kerry. Wow. Fat lot of good that did. Kerry got whupped.

Yes, Obama won a senate race in 2004. But he owes that win to the republicans. In the middle of the race, they dropped one loser candidate for another. It is not like Obama had a serious fight to win that election.

Oh, yeah. Obama NOW opposes the war. Well! How politically correct he is!

So what does Obama stand for? Well that is besides going to a beach in a swimsuit and getting his "pretty boy" face in the news.

Answer 1

He has met the only requirements to run for office: born in the USA and over age 35.

I agree with your analysis. People are interested because he does not have any "baggage." He does not have a history of voting and has not developed any legislation on his own.

I do not consider him to be a viable candidate. He is a liberal. Liberals who run on their views do not get elected. Example: Walter Mondale.

Answer 2

America, especially black America, is looking for another Martin Luther King Jr. The current black leadership does not have the history to fit the bill. Jesse Jackson had marital problems. Dr. Farrakhan has said too many negative things about white America, and the Jews to be electable. Charles Rangel is way too partisan and is all about pork for his district.
Bottom line, a black leader needs both to have a clean past, be electable, and have a national stage, Barack Obama has all three. At least, until something changes.

Answer 3

Æsop. (6th century B.C.) Fables. The Harvard Classics. 1909–14. The Fox and the Grapes ONE warm summer season’s day a Fox replaced into walking by using an orchard till he got here to a bunch of Grapes in basic terms ripening on a vine that have been experienced over a lofty branch. “in basic terms the failings to quench my thirst,” quoth he. Drawing back some paces, he took a run and a bounce, and in basic terms neglected the bunch. Turning around back with a One, 2, 3, he jumped up, yet without greater advantageous fulfillment. repeatedly he tried after the tempting morsel, yet finally had to grant it up, and walked away along with his nostril interior the air, asserting: “i'm confident they are bitter.” “that's elementary to DESPISE WHAT you won't be able to GET.” The Norwegian Nobel Committee has desperate that the Nobel Peace Prize for 2009 is to be offered to President Barack Obama for his impressive efforts to strengthen international international relatives and cooperation between peoples. The Committee has linked particular magnitude to Obama's inventive and prescient of and artwork for a international without nuclear weapons. Obama has as President created a sparkling climate in international politics. Multilateral international relatives has regained a central place, with emphasis on the function that the United countries and different international institutions can play. communicate and negotiations are favorite as units for resolving even the main complicated international conflicts. The inventive and prescient of a international loose from nuclear hands has powerfully inspired disarmament and hands administration negotiations. thank you to Obama's initiative, the united states is now enjoying a greater constructive function in assembly the large climatic annoying circumstances the international is confronting. Democracy and human rights are to be bolstered. purely very not often has a guy or woman to an identical quantity as Obama captured the international's interest and given its human beings wish for a greater robust destiny. His international relatives relies interior the thought people who're to steer the international could gain this on the muse of values and attitudes that are shared by using the regular public of the international's inhabitants. For 108 years, the Norwegian Nobel Committee has sought to stimulate precisely that international coverage and those attitudes for which Obama is now the international's superior spokesman. The Committee endorses Obama's allure that "now's the time for all and sundry to take our proportion of duty for a international reaction to worldwide annoying circumstances."

Sounds like you haven't done any research on the candidates and that is why this country gets into trouble. You could start by going to your local library and reading one of his two books, or both, that will tell you how he was raised and something about his values as a person.

Also, you could check out facts such as voting records, PAC contributions, associations he belongs to, and what he does in his spare time.

If this is all too much for you, then you shouldn't vote, because you are uninformed.

Answer 5

Not much in my opinion. I think he is more of a poster boy for his party. He tends to waffle on many issues. He opposes the war but supports defense spending. I think he is just out there to muddy the waters.

Answer 6

He is a black muslim with no personality I have seen, and has the most liberal voting record in the senate. He is just to the left of Carl Marx. The Democrats are really tetched in the haid to consider such a man for president.

Answer 7

And I thought it was every Americans duty, and right to support their Country.
I guess you don't think he has a right or duty?
What, in YOUR opinion should qualify a candidate?

Answer 8

Nothing!
If that is the best they have to offer, the Democrates are in deep doo-doo.
