Do you Think Barack Obama is the best candidate for Presidential Election of 2008?

Answer 1

Nope.

Leaning towards Romney, but would reluctantly vote for Giuliani rather than four years of B. Hussein Obama or Senator Clinton.

--Edit--
Eight thumbs down! Nearly a personal best. I can see the Democrat spin machines are even at work here at Y! Answers!

Answer 2

By far. The Republicans are running away from Bush as fast as they can...and rightly so. Does that mean that the party has returned to the moderate republicanism of Eisenhower, Nixon and Ford? Nope! Though they range from the affable to goofy to downright dingy all of them are part and parcel of the party's movers and shakers...the trans-national corporations, the Oil Mafia and the Jesus freak right. Basically these guys are zero help to the American wage-earner, so who needs them? When the Bush Junta finally leaves the smoking ruin of the White House to the next guy the GOP will still be run by the same near-nazi fascisiti bunch of stiffs that managed to get George Bush to stooge for them...nothing will change. Sen. Clinton is possibly the best of the democratic bunch, but should she be elected without a huge majority of votes and another huge majority in congress the 'wingers, via right wing talk radio and the those foxy fox at FOX Network will swift-boat her like it's going out of style! She'll have a hard time bringing the legitimate force of government back onto the real problems that the Bush administration has either screwed up or ignored. Obama will feel their wrath as well, but he's a smaller target because he's not tied into Bill Clinton...the guy they really hate. So overall, Barack Obama is the man....he's up to the job, he acknowleges that there really are wage-earning Americans that need consideration, he's practical about defense, ahead of the pack on energy, strong on civil rights and my bet is that he has the chops for foreign policy. People actually like this guy. If he can get the Clintons to come on board in some capacity, we'll have 'the dream team'! O'Bama...vote for the Irish guy! How's that for a bumper sticker?

Answer 3

No. He is too inexperienced. He also doesn't seem very trustworthy even more so than the other candidates. Also, I have not heard any of his thoughts on important issues that I would agree with. He is for amnesty for immigration with no plan as to how to stop the flow of illegals into the country after wards. He wants to end the war in Iraq, but hasn't laid out a plan to show how he wold withdraw the troops. He says that he is for unilateral talks with countries like Iran one day, then back tracks the next when he gets slammed by the media and other candidates. He also hasn't shown how he is going to reduce spending, the deficit, or pay for the mountains of social programs he supports. Frankly, he poses more questions than answers and appears to be trying to get by on his looks and charm.

Answer 4

Obama is known because of the fact of two issues. a million-He has no stated positions on ANY significant matters, so which you would be able to interject your individual comments into what you think of is his soul. as quickly as he will become a candidate, each time he opens his mouth he will erode his ability voter pool via 50% because of the fact he will ought to take some style of place. 2-White Guilt. Obama is a black guy whom white voters at the instant are not frightened of, back because of the fact he has not taken any positions on any matters and because his image is heavily crafted to be a white individual in a black hide. And particular, I do sense undesirable writing that yet that is definitely what i think is going on. Opponent-traditionally, the Democratic conventional technique finishes appreciably till now the Republican, so the GOP could have the skill to compliment a candidate based a minimum of partly on whom they'll ought to overcome interior the coming near election, particularly than on matters that the backside desires to take heed to approximately.

Answer 5

No, 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.

Answer 6

I am a campaign volunteer for
Barack Obama. I really loved
and trusted John Kennedy, but I believe in Barack even more.
He has the ability to see what the common person needs and will not play favorites.
He has a great sense of honor and integrity. He is
not running for his own "ambition" but to really try to
lift this country back to where
it was before and to restore
the American middle class.
If he does not become
President, our nation will
become a 3rd world nation.
We are already headed that
way.
the American dollar is in trouble, it is losing value fast.
War is not the answer to
a strong nation.

Answer 7

I think he is a very charismatic candidate. He looks Presidential, and I like his style. He has a wonderful speaking voice, a brilliant smile, and a nice demeanor. Some say he lacks experience and will likely run again. I haven't reached a decision, but I always vote for the candidate, not just the party.

Answer 8

He is a horrible senator is Illinois and only won because of a false scandal with the leading Democrat candidate when he first ran for Senate. He helped propagate this false scandal.

He would make a terrible President also.

Answer 9

I think he's the best hands down. He's the only viable candidate that would bring real change to the White House. I'm sick of all the corruption, I want an honest President.

OBAMA '08

Answer 10

I am praying that he wins, I agree with Andrew Young's assessment of his political machine at this point. I think it would be the most comical administration of all time.

Answer 11

He isnt even the best candidate from his party.

None of the front runners are.


Joe Biden is their best candidate and they ignore him.


Its why they seem to lose presidential elections.
