He pretty whitty. I wonder if Putin, Hu Jintao, Ahmadinejad, Kim II, Chavez, Chirac and other Anti-American movements will think he's whitty? And will he cave in to their demands and weaken America in order to "gain respect" from these despots?

Obama may be a smart individual...but his fame is only because of circumstance. If he was any white anglo-saxon male he wouldn't be getting any attention. The spotlight is only on him because he's black and successful...

Umm, yes... he's quite American. His family is from western Kansas and Oklahoma. And yes, I believe he is a very smart man. Unfortunately, I also believe he's a bit of a flash in the pan. I really don't believe the Democratic party will get behind him. He's a big risk in a very important election. Same with Hillary, it's stupid, but... an "ethnic" man or a woman is a big risk to run for president. We have a lot of old school folks who just won't vote for them. One man who should run for president and could easily win is the governor of Oklahoma, Brad Henry. He's a perfect candidate for democrats. He's a moderate to liberal Democrat from a semi- southern and western state... I think he could really pulll in the votes and he is a great guy with solid ideas.

They aren't anti-American, they are anti-US Gov't.
Personally, I like Chirac and Chavez. Chavez is a visionary that is rapidly leading his nation out of poverty.
And Obama is a smart man, that has a huge following.

He may be witty, but if you listen to him speak, he says a lot without saying anything.. I mean, his little sound bite about not running a nasty campaign; they al say that, then proceed to rip each others throats out. I havent heard him express one original idea since the media began to canonize him. He wont get elected; not because he is black ( true patriot notwithstanding) but because he is an empty shell.

Barack Obama's intelligence is far superior to GWB and any of his cronies!

He was smart enough to be president of the Harvard Law Review and he obtained his J.D. degree "magnacum-laude" from Harvard in 1991.
how smart are you?

for one, bush's policies haven't strengthen the US either. I think obama would be better then mccain who bends over for anyone.
