1."There is not a black America, and a white America, a Latino America, and an Asian America -- we are one people, all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes, all of us defending the United States of America," he declared to roaring applause. - Obama.
2. Jessie Jackson, a veteran of losing Democratic presidential campaigns in 1984 and 1988, has not endorsed Obama. Neither has the Rev. Al Sharpton, a Democratic presidential candidate in 2004 who has not ruled out another run.
3. Sniff, sniff........I think I smell hater-aid in the Jackson - Sharpton camp?

too early for me to say
I think most of us are tired of people in office that has a family history of wealth and political office , to many that seems out of touch with the "real people" who pay the taxes and so forth
as for Obama I dont think a person should cast a vote "only" because they think its time for a black or Latino president, it isn't wise to support a candidate because you feel obligated to your race to vote in or keep out a candidate , based on that!! (not saying that's your reason)
as for personality I like him
as for his lack of years in office to me makes him still one of the people and that's a plus , how ever I haven't fully looked at his platform of policies, but I am very interested in hearing what he has to say

I haven't decided yet. I think Richardson and Obama are at a disadvantage to some extent because of their color. I also have some misgivings about Obama because he has never really had to run a "real" campaign -- the senator seat was pretty well handed to him without much of a fight.
If anything, I think Obama is distancing himself from the Jackson/Sharpton set. Aligning himself with them is not the way to win moderates.

NO,I will not because he is racists.I believe if we have a democratic President That this country will hurt, because the war issues.The Democrats want to stop the war and never go back.I think this is wrong.I do because it say that we do not care about the people who have died trying to fight for this country.I would like to to point out that have we all forgotten about the 9/11 attacks.This is what will happen again if we do not continue with the war.If you think that the Democrats will help this country your wrong.I think that the Republicans Have done a good job.If you do not like what the President is doing for this country then quit complain,and leave this country.You have freedom but you take advantage of this.I will vote For Republicans because they want to stop the illegal aliens from coming into our country.By putting up a fence to stop this from happening.But if a Democratic wins they want to let them keep coming to this country.I think this is wrong because we already are a sinking ship.We the USA need to help our self's before we become a country in need of help.This is my Reason.You can Love me or hate me but if you don't I see why your so close minded.

In his books he embraces all far left liberal positions and solutions, and he votes liberal in the congress. I won't vote for that kind of candidate no matter what his background. I don't dislike the man; I simply cannot abide his political positions.

No. In case you had not noticed, there is a war on. The US can choose to win, or to lose. Obama wants to lose. The consequences of such a loss would be devastating.
