Do you believe Barack Obama will become the next president of America?

Question

Be honest, why or why not :D

Answer 1

There's a good chance. He's been steadily gaining support and momentum, and unlike other candidates, the more we know about him, the more we like him. (Usually, the more we know about a candidate the more controversy there is.)

Obama has a huge support base and there's a real chance he becomes president, especially if he can win the nomination starting in Iowa, where he is currently ahead in the polls.

Answer 2

greater in all probability that deep wallet company united statesa. which include Neocons-Fascists won't permit Obama to be a president. greater in all probability they are going the two get rid of Obama or do something comparable as they did decrease back in 2000.

Answer 3

No. I think most Americans are middle of the road people who don't like change to begin with. And if change must take place, its usually accepted in small increments over time. The United States is not dominated by leftist or far-righters; ultra-conservative Christians and hippie-wanna-bes at college campuses throughout the land do not represent the whole of the United States. Most of America is made up of people you never hear about or take notice of to begin with. You hear a lot of complaining about how the United States is and what course it is headed in, but you see that most people don't practice what they preach. Funny how people still use credit cards rampantly while bemoaning how fisically irresponsible Washington is in spending for the war in Iraq and Afghanistan. Funny how people talk about how bad kids are educated and then go home to their new 42 inch plasma TV to watch mediocre TV shows in high-def for 3 to 4 hours each night. Odd how most Americans ask for cheaper prices at the gas pump, yet they still hold onto their gas-guzzling behomouth Ford-350s and Hummers. Funny how most people say abortion is the worst crime ever and should be stopped, yet most Americans are disgusted by the medical practice anyway no matter their political views. We are certainly a country of contradictions and ironic practices.

I think either a Republican or a water-downed Hilary Clinton will take it. Obama is just to naieve, idealistic, and very much inexperienced. Sure, left-leaning voters will be drawn to him along with some wanting a so-called fresh start in Washington, yet most people in the US are moderates or a bit conservative in their beliefs. People have this idea that Obama and his executive branch will bring about a revolution in America. Do you really think the world and Washington revolves around the decisions of one man? Washington DC and federal government are huge, slow moving social institutions that do not change overnight with the election of one man or woman or even over a single decade. Anything profound or important implemented by Obama as president would not be truly felt until years after being started. Same goes for Clinton, Rudy, Romney, and are current leader George Bush. People over estimate the importance of the President. Besides being able to blow up the world with an arsenal of nukes, the presidents powers are over-hyed. Washington is made up 3 branches, and the president is only one-third of the puzzle to getting done and inacted, be it good or bad.

Ask yourself this... If the country was so horrible and in bad shape back in 2004, why didn't Kerry win the White House by a significant margin? Kerry got beaten by a president that most people complain about to some degree, yet oddly enough accept to run the government because they like that status quo of the United States. The biggest mistake liberals and ardent Democrats can make is to assume that they have this 2008 election in the bag after 8 years of President Bush in office. Its almost as if they think its a gimmie to them.


I personally think Rudy Guilliani will come to the spotlight. Rudy could easily dismantle either Clinton or Obama if he was in the zone when campaining and debating. Rudy has the greatest thing going for him, he basically took New York City and completely changed its image, general atmosphere, and reputation within his terms of office. There's also the added perk of being a figurehead of leadership days after the attacks on Sept. 11th. Romney and Huckabee have too much baggage in terms of faith and religion to drawl the moderate, independent voters of America. Edwards is just to wimpy and prissy. He's not a leader. Edwards seems like the guy you would see in the middle of the night selling you get-rich schemes or how sue someone else for wrongs committed against you. Clinton is a so-so candidate. Her gender is definitely a factor. That may seem sexist, but I'm sure there's males and females out there in the populace who see that immutable fact as either a vote for or against her. Clinton's success will depend on her getting to appear as an everyday person that you connect to somehow and not a lifetime politican who will have her own single-minded agenda once elected. Gov. Richardson is not known well enough and can't break past the 3 major Democratic runners although he is a very good candidate for the vice president slot. Ron Paul... seriously, why do people even try with this guy. A snowball in Hades has a better chance of surviving. Ron Paul is nothing more than Ralph Nader incognito for the Republicans. Well at least, twenty years from now, they can say they believed in a cause, no matter how unlikely it was to succeed. Senator Biden is in the same boat as Gov. Richardson. All the others, Republican or Democrat, don't even make a blip on the political radar screen.

Sadly, politics and politicians are nothing but lies we accept grudingly in order for the civilized world to keep moving. If you truly knew what a politician felt and desired, be he or she a liberal, moderate, or conservative, you would most likely cringe, go uncertain in your support, or sneak away from them while nodding your head in agreement.

I would only vote for Obama if the Republican canidate in question had some major issues I found to be disquieting. I also see the Republicans and Democrats as almost the same party really. Except for a few issues, which the parties differ on greatly, they agree with each other 95 percent of the time. They just present themselves to the populace as seeming to be more in-tune to them and their welfare than the other party.

It's possible for Barack Obama to be the Democratic presidential nominee, but I don't think he will become president in the end barring unforeseen disasters or major events. The reason he can take the Demoncratic nomination is because Hiliary Clinton has both a major weakness and strength. The strong being her last name and the weak part also being the same name and all things it brings to mind.

Answer 4

no, not with my vote. He's does not have enough experience and just saying that he's for change is too vague....what changes? and how are the changes differ from Hillary or Ed? I would not take the chance in voting for Obama due mainly to the fact that he is just too risky.

Answer 5

He has a good chance, but still America would rather vote for a female WHITE president, than a male BLACK president... a sad fact but true, which you might agree.. personally both have their strenghts and flaws...

Fyi, on youtube there is this hilarious video on Barack-lookalike and Hillary-lookalike making out on the song "Umbrella" by Rihanna... care to see it...

Answer 6

He might. You never know.

But if he becomes the Democratic Party candidate, Hillary will surely have inflicted some critical wounds on his candidacy, which might prove fatal in the election.

Hillary will do anything to prevent him taking what she regards as her candidacy.

Answer 7

No.......not with my vote. I sincerely believe that his record & inexperience is too limited & narrow to enable him to perform the duties of President. I also believe that Hillary's inexperience would not qualify her either. As a New Yorker I can vouch for the fact that she has not drafted, written, sponsored, proposed or voted on one single bill as NY Senator that has benefitted NY.

Answer 8

No. Honestly? Because he's black. Middle America aka the Heart Land will put an end to that immediately.

Answer 9

no...not enough experience...so if by chance Oprah wins, then the country is in trouble. I'd like to know why Oprah is running and pretending she's Mr. King. Makes no sense to me. I mean, is she giving away cars again or what?

Answer 10

No. His comment about not resorting to the use of nuclear weapons under any circumstances has our enemies still laughing, and praying to Allah that he gets elected.

Until that comment I would have voted for him over devil woman, but he has become the one person in America that I would vote for Hillary if it were him vs her.
