All the polls show Obama trouncing the Republican candidates in a general election by much wider margins than Hillary would.
All they seem to see is color when they look at him.

I'm not the one asking all the questions about whether Oprah endorsing Obama is racist.
2007-12-10 03:58:42 · update #2
It would seem so. Consider the following:
Hillary led Obama by 23 points in New Hampshire in September, that fell to a 16 point lead in October, which fell to a 10 point lead in November, and now Senator Obama is within 7 points of the New Hampshire lead.

It's funny to watch the news and see all the BS the spew out. Using his religion and race and inexperience as "disadvantages" What's sad is that people believe this BS
Look at who has been president over the years...white cowboys..! I think the younger generations have seen what corruption and lies have been brought by these pigs and would like to see some real change. A more just economy and better jobs.
I wasn't around when Kennedy was assassinated..but the crazy thing was after his death..a republican took office? How fishy is that? I think if Kennedy wouldn't have been shot, America would be a lot different.
(sorry I go off on tangents)
I like Obama because I researched all the current candidates and I see his logic..People can have other opinions, but I see great opportunity and change in our future if he was president.
I hope people really do their homework in America Think for themselves and not make another stupid mistake( electing another bush)

i does no longer be silly sufficient to declare an election result's previous doubt. plenty can ensue in 13 months. The economic gadget ought to get greater desirable or worse, something good or undesirable ought to ensue, and unfavourable marketing campaign classified ads from the two factors will take their toll. i think of, because it stands, Romney has the suitable hazard against Obama in 2012. Obama is at as quickly as dropping his base, and with a view to get them decrease back, he has to declare and do issues that disillusioned self sufficient voters. So i've got faith effective in that regard, that the greater he coddles his base, the greater he pigeonholes himself into dropping something of the rustic. And if he is going forward and shall we his base erode, independents won't help a guy who isn't supported by potential of his very own occasion. that could basically make the nomination of yet another candidate, like Hillary Clinton, that somewhat greater in all probability. even nevertheless i think of Clinton might make a miles better candidate than Obama, it would be very embarrassing for him. i think of Romney is a robust candidate. He exchange into governor of a liberal state, so he can paintings with Democrats. Democrats won't have the skill to solid Romney as a some distance-good nutcase like they'll with Rick Perry. the only element they are able to declare approximately Romney is that he handed a invoice such as ObamaCare, wherein case they're particularly asserting Romney is their style of guy. unhappy, then, that Democrats might have greater compliment for Romney than they'll for his or her very own candidate. i think of it's going to be an extremely hard election for the two area. Obama, has the incumbent, nonetheless has the sting. yet once you've gotten requested me in 2008 if Republicans had any hazard in besides in 2012, i might have laughed. Now, that's extremely accessible Obama would be a one-term President.

No, it shows how ridiculous we can be as Americans.
So Oprah endorses Obama. Why is that such a big deal? Does Oprah have any more political insight than the average Amreican?
And it's not just Oprah. I could care less who Oprah, Chuck Norris, or any other Hollywood celebrity is endorsing. It counts 0 percent.

It might if it were republicans asking them? But it is all dems. I think it shows more the racist nature of democrats that they can not accept Oprah endorsing Obama.

If people are voting for him, or against him, just because he is black, then they are idiots and should be ashamed. I don't support him because I don't believe he has enough knowledge or experience to be a World Leader. As for Hillary, I don't support her because she is so wishy washy and untrustworthy. Her being a woman has nothing to do with it either. Same with her, if you vote for or against her just because she is a woman, you need to stand in line with the other idiots I mentioned above.

Not scared at all both Republicans and Democrats suck out loud and are not listening to the American people. Obama is a joke and because of his rise in poles without substance shows how easily duped some Americans are

Not really. I think Obama and Hillary are both unqualified. I just happened to devote some questions, for a change, to Obama in today's postings. Have a nice day!

I'm not afraid of him. I think he'll make a very good future leader if he can see the error in some of his ways. As for what we need now for preparation of a bright future? Ron Paul is the obvious choice.
Ron Paul 2008.
