Answer 1

At this moment i would vote for Obama.

Most people think Obama is liberal he is not .
most republican tend to think if your not a republican then your a liberal (which is true lol) but he is not a liberal and not a republican.

Barack Obama is of Black and White heritage
He is a harvard graduate
He is a christian
He is devoted father and husband
He is not a muslim


back in 2002 senator Obama made a thought provoking speech. A speech if you look at it today its like wow
he is correct.

he is young and he is feisty but mellow i call that confidence
I urge all americans to research all presidentail canadiates and then pick the best one.

But this young man turned my head .I can not give his words any justice so in own words this is what he demanded that has yet to be fullfilled

I stand before you as someone who is not opposed to war in all circumstances. The Civil War was one of the bloodiest in history, and yet it was only through the crucible of the sword, the sacrifice of multitudes, that we could begin to perfect this union and drive the scourge of slavery from our soil.

I don't oppose all wars. My grandfather signed up for a war the day after Pearl Harbor was bombed, fought in Patton's army. He fought in the name of a larger freedom, part of that arsenal of democracy that triumphed over evil.

I don't oppose all wars. After September 11, after witnessing the carnage and destruction, the dust and the tears, I supported this administration's pledge to hunt down and root out those who would slaughter innocents in the name of intolerance, and I would willingly take up arms myself to prevent such tragedy from happening again.

I don't oppose all wars. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other armchair, weekend warriors in this administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne. What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income, to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.

That's what I'm opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.

Now let me be clear: I suffer no illusions about Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal man. A ruthless man. A man who butchers his own people to secure his own power.... The world, and the Iraqi people, would be better off without him. But I also know that Saddam poses no imminent and direct threat to the United States, or to his neighbors...and that in concert with the international community he can be contained until, in the way of all petty dictators, he falls away into the dustbin of history.

I know that even a successful war against Iraq will require a U.S. occupation of undetermined length, at undetermined cost, with undetermined consequences. I know that an invasion of Iraq without a clear rationale and without strong international support will only fan the flames of the Middle East, and encourage the worst, rather than best, impulses of the Arab world, and strengthen the recruitment arm of al-Qaeda.

I am not opposed to all wars. I'm opposed to dumb wars. So for those of us who seek a more just and secure world for our children, let us send a clear message to the president.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's finish the fight with Bin Laden and al-Qaeda, through effective, coordinated intelligence, and a shutting down of the financial networks that support terrorism, and a homeland security program that involves more than color-coded warnings.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure that...we vigorously enforce a nonproliferation treaty, and that former enemies and current allies like Russia safeguard and ultimately eliminate their stores of nuclear material, and that nations like Pakistan and India never use the terrible weapons already in their possession, and that the arms merchants in our own country stop feeding the countless wars that rage across the globe.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to make sure our so-called allies in the Middle East, the Saudis and the Egyptians, stop oppressing their own people, and suppressing dissent, and tolerating corruption and inequality, and mismanaging their economies so that their youth grow up without education, without prospects, without hope, the ready recruits of terrorist cells.

You want a fight, President Bush? Let's fight to wean ourselves off Middle East oil through an energy policy that doesn't simply serve the interests of Exxon and Mobil.

Those are the battles that we need to fight. Those are the battles that we willingly join. The battles against ignorance and intolerance. Corruption and greed. Poverty and despair.

Answer 2

Reported.

Answer 3

No, I wouldn't vote for anyone based on looks, can you imagine men voting that way, sluts like Paris Hilton could be our next President....dam, that's some scary sh-it!

Answer 4

No but I would vote for him because he seems logical, honest and is willing to address the problems that have been ignored by BUsh, he's also against this war.

Answer 5

No I like to base my decisions on president about more substantial matters.

Answer 6

You might as well vote for Brad Pitt and come to think about it he is just about as qualified. The first lady position would sure be an upgrade

Answer 7

Sorry neither Mr.Obama's looks nor his ideas really arouse me. I prefer women but I still don't want Lindsay Lohan running the country either,O.K.?:) Vote Libertarian. You'll lose but at least you don't feel sick to your stomach after voting for a Republican or Democrat!!!

Answer 8

nah i wouldnt. You shouldnt vote based on looks anyway. This isnt Miss/Mister America.

Answer 9

People seem to think Paris Hilton is pretty but do you really want her running our country?

No. I do not vote on looks.

Answer 10

Nope. Good looks mean diddly. I might vote for him once I get a better sense of his politics, though. That's IF he gets the Democratic nomination.

Answer 11

If you think he'll do things that agree with your principles, then vote for him. If you vote for him because he's cute, we are SO doomed.
