What are your thoughts on Senator Obama Barack joining in the presidential race (2008)?

He is experienced enough to run for President. It's possible for him to become President, but he's got a tough uphill battle to win nomination in his own party. If Hillary runs, then he'll have to contend with the large political muscle that her and Bill Clinton wield. John Edwards has the well-spoken, good-looking guy image going for him as well, (plus he's white). However, Hillary does have Bill's Lewinsky's smell around her as well as her support for the Iraq war. John may get tied again to John Kerry who's been slipping in popularity over the last six months. If Barack Obama were to run and win, he would be good President but only if he is committed (i.e. his marriage and parenthood could suffer).
Even though the US Presidency is argubly the most important political position in the world, the President does not have to have a wealth of experience that allows him (and maybe one day her) to govern an entire country. He has a Cabinet as well as other high ranking supporters aiding him in his decision process. I am always amazed that when people talk about Barack Obama, his "lack of experience" is seen as a negative. To be President, one only needs to be intelligent, thoughtful, decisive and committed. If I am a manager for Apple looking for someone to program the new I-Pod/Cell phone, I would want to hire someone with experience. But politics is open enough to have a President who is a peanut farmer, an actor, a lawyer, or a businessman.

He's dividing the demo votes and making it harder for a more experienced candidate to get elected. Bad for the demo party. Good for the repubs. He's not ready and should step back.

I think he needs the wisdom and patience that comes with age and experience.He definitely is charismatic,handsome,intelligent,educated and should be a role model for young black men to follow. In 10 yrs he just might win.Hilliary on the other hand seems angry and who wants pretty boy bill back in the white house getting blow jobs.Sickening.
