A good president for Venezuela maybe. Americans don't want socialists running their country.

Fine tuned? He'd be a better President than the last 3 combined.

Absolutely not, so much of what he advocates conflicts with his actual voting record. He spoke out against the Patriot Act then voted in favor of reauthorizing it, he cannot commit to withdrawing the troops out of Iraq by 2013, possibly later.. He hasn't ruled out using strikes against Iran, not to mention the same vote he criticizes Hillary for, he missed himself and sponsored the exact same legislation designating the IRG a terrorist organization in back in April.. He implied that he would invade Pakistan, without the consent of their government.. He made votes making it more difficult for average citizens to sue big corporations.. He has no consistency on the issues of social security and taxes, in the very beginning he was for raising the cap, then having all options on the table, then appointing a bipartisan commission, now he's back to raising the cap.. He receives contributions from lobbyists, corporations and interest groups, despite his denials..He promises "change" but he has neither the substance, the experience, nor desire to deliver this change..

he voted to renew the patriot act and he wantsw amnesty for people living and working in this country illegally -he stated in the debates he would continue the war in Iraq until 2013 (hillary also )- he needs more than just fine tuning -he needs to drop out like the majority of candidates who are part of the problem and arent anywhere close to having viable solutions for americans -

Obama is a great leader but still lacking in experience which is crucial in running the affairs of the country for which voters are in favor of Hillary Clinton and Rudolph Giuliani.

For me... I just don't get what people see in him. He does nothing for me.....
My choices right now would be Joe Biden or Hillary Clinton.
Ron Paul is definitely interesting. Then Huckabee.
I'm split. But Obama.... just don't see what people like about him... he seems slimy.

He is my favorite Democrat but he is a liberal and that never makes a good president.
