Barack Obama for President?

Question

Just out of curiousity how do you think he would do as our president? Do you have any Issues/concerns with him being president?

Also, know of any good web sites where I can learn more about the presidential canidates?

Answer 1

His socialist agenda would tax us all into poverty. Me, I'd stop working right away so I can get on the gravy train and have others pay my way before the money runs out.

Answer 2

Being muslim doesn't mean and shouldnt mean a thing. What should however is the mans agendas and plans. Hes gonna tax us to poverty, he is inexperienced and young but already corrupted by politics with big money lobbyists. The one debate Gravel pointed out he was getting all this lobbyist money and Obama tries to turn it around by saying he just passed a law to show everyone who is paying off politicians. He is doing this instead of trying to stop the war he is supposedly against? He wasnt even in congress long enough to vote against it! And he said he would nuke Pakistan. A nice peacful stance huh? He is a joke, you go to his website and there is no clear information about his stance on any issues. He doesn't answer any questions clearly or thoroughly, just like almost every other policician out there except Gravel and Kucinich. I used to be an Obama suppporter until i discovered Mike Gravel.

Answer 3

I looked at all the candidates, and I came to like Obama for the following reason: he's a community organizer.

Life is about choices. It amazes me that after graduating with an Ivy League degree, Obama decided that instead of taking the path of corporate law, or some administrative job in Washington, that he'd work on the south side of Chicago where steel mills closed down and thousands of people were unemployed. Community organizing is an amazing thing; it is diplomacy, except on a smaller level. You have to go to local churches, build bridges with ministers, identify why they should engage in a community project, or meet with this other community leader. It straightens communities by bringing together leaders, and ultimately it cracks down on the social ails of society.

That's the kind of thing we need in the White House. Someone who understands the concerns of the downtrodden, who has brought up communities and negotiated with leaders. That is the kind of president Obama would be.

Answer 4

I don't think he has the experience to be president. In the last two debates he has backed himself into a corner that Hillary will never let him get out of. Personally I'm hoping he and Hilly will divide the party so much that the completely unelectable, ambulance chasing, creep Edwards wins the nomination. Then we'll have a Republican sweep in 08.

Answer 5

Barack Obama has an advantage as youthful because he could be aggressive in his programs unlike the aging candidates who could just be passive when elected.

VOTE for your choice as US President on my 360 degrees blog and know if Obama will likely win.

Answer 6

I'm afraid he will focus too much on "African-American issues" at a time when very basic freedoms are starting to be stripped away.

There is so many more important things at stake in America right now; too many to be focusing on black-oppression conspiracy theories.

Answer 7

He has a voting record in Illinois when he was an Illinois Senator. You need to check into it. I don't think this is someone who you would want running the country.

Answer 8

barry aka barack Obama is the worst choice out there. changing your given name to one used by muslims doesnt speak well. i wonder if he isnt being being backed by the terroists and might be a Quisling.

Answer 9

He's inexperienced, but that has its plus side. Sure, there are issues and concerns I have.
Would I vote for him? I don't know yet. Compared to the field of dingdongs we have running, he's not looking like that bad of an option.

Answer 10

Do you think it would be smart to a Muslim in the White house right now? I don't, they have already scewed up most of the globe already.
