You'd be surprised. I was truly politically neutral. I came across a video on You Tube and was intrigued. Then his announcement for president on You Tube, I was even more intrigued. The media really cannot dig up any dirt on him and he called all of the problems of the war back in 2002 (saw the video of that too. I have to tell you. His supporters are growning by leaps and bounds. Especially among people who are disgusted with the system and might be actually compelled to vote. I am a skeptic by nature and that is just what he seems to address. The cynicism of America is just, when we see all the corruption in government. I am always looking for some kind of Achiles heel. But this guy..aside from a little experimenting with drugs as a youth (I know a great percentage have, including myself) there really isnt anything they can dig up. Be a scoop yourself. Find out about this guy. Not just from his campaign website. But from YouTube. Chicago Tribune did an article that was a fair piece of journalism. Some not so flattering sides. But you can find out for yourself what all the hype is. If you are like me, you'll weigh all the evidence and conclude he is our best shot to get out of this stagnation this nation has found itself in. I really believe between now and Nov 8th, Obama's support will be overwhelming.

Like Clinton, Obama will most likely get in over his head in his first three years. Clinton took on too much too quickly, and caused the nation to move against democrats in congress. Obama lacks a real reason to be president, other than political opportunity.
He would loose the house in two years and the senate in four years. He might win re-election, as an incumbent is difficult to defeat in this day and age of the hyper-executive.
Remember, even though Clinton never ever won more than 50% of the popular vote, libs stated he ruled with a mandate. An Obama victory would produce the same arrogance, with the same results.

The poor will suffer deeply because there will be many less jobs and a much higher suicide rate as in France. Most of all folks with a low income need available jobs so they can work and learn to improve their skills to serve others. This way they can increase their incomes over time. Socialism that Obama advocates damages business and so, as in France, unemployment will surge. People respond to this by just giving up. That is why the suicide rate is so high in France. But of course Americans desparately want Socialism so I think people with money will be happier as the govt can tell them how to live as in Europe: what job to have, etc and govt will take over the raising of kids. I just feel bad for poor people as their qaulity of life in France is low, hence the recent riots there.

One of joy! Obama appears to be a Kennedy era democrat with ideas and ideals "for the people." Sincerely hope his campaign managers are astute enough to employ security measures to protect him from KKK and Republicans. His being "black" in the year 2008 cannot rationally be considered an "issue," but a menopausal female candidate in that same year is as scaaary as a Satidday Nite Horror Host who drinks and drives as well as shows horror films in the girls' bathroom at an elementary school.

He seems like a good guy, but I worry about his lack of experience. He could be a great president, but he is so untested politicall now that I'm not willing to take the risk to vote for him.
If he does win, then I would support him 100% and hope that he lives up to his potential.

I think many people will be picking their jaws up off the ground. Then the business of government will carry on, and there will be some keeping an extra close eye on him for any mistakes or triumphs. That is all part of the political game.

Cool, great, fantastic, awesome. People would think, "Now we're getting somewhere". Obama has vowed to fight for open and honest government and wants to clean up Washington. Check out his websites below to find out more about his views.

What do you think?
"Children are to be seen and not to be heard" in planet of apes.
An old saying which does not change with time but stays in time in planet of apes.
Ruling and leading in guiding the survival and advancement of living human kind is not a Dick, Tom or Harry's work in planet of apes.
It's the survival and advancement of living human kind is at syakes out there in planet of apes.
Look around at the mess that had been created out there with living human kind living in misery in planet of apes.
Decode this lyrics "Don't know much"
It will be wise for the young ones to learn first before kicking the butts of the dirty old men in planet of apes.
With time the glory will still be theirs to lead in time in planet of apes.
