Yes, hard to believe Obama could be president in James Blonde's mind.

Same. We were discussing this in Ethics class and how racism is still a big issue with many people, especially americans. He seems great though, I completely agree with his idea with video surveillence within the government. He's against covering anything up.

i really hope that obama and hilary dont somehow cancel eachother out and the republicans sneak in the back. would anyone actually vote republican after the mess america is in now?

I still think Strom Thurmond was a cool name. I'd love to see Kucinich elected, but I'm not that naive.

ok then apart from old people and hicks (not suggesting your grandad is a hick)

A vote for republicans, is a vote for moving backwards.

Danny Himself 01.22.2007 06:43 PM

A vote for republicans is a vote for lucifer.

kingcoffee 01.22.2007 06:51 PM

Man, Barak Obama is not only black but has a Middle-Eastern name. Right wingers won't vote for either aspects of that. They hate blacks and Middle-Easterners. In that demographic Obama is dead in the water. The best he can hope for is that people are so disgusted with Bush or that the republican candidate for '08 is so pathetic (which McCain quite isn't) that they'll vote for him. I truly hope Obama he wins. He seems like a really smart, great guy. However, he doesnt have a long life in politics (which may or may not be a good thing). Fuck Hillary Clinton! She's a bitch and is corrupt. She only cares about power. Fuck McCain! He is way too closed minded to be president of this country when we are in such an extremely delicate world-wide socio-political pickle. We need somone with gumption, heart, and know how to PROGRESS this country away from war-mongering, money-grubbing and economic/political exploitation of domestic and foreign people.

America isn't ready for Barack as President, unfortunately. He'd do better (in terms of being elected) as a vice president with a moderate democrat.

Why ew??
WHat is wrong with gumption??

Alex's Trip 01.22.2007 06:58 PM

Nothing. It just sounds like some kind of disease that old guys get.

kingcoffee 01.22.2007 06:59 PM

Ya know, people said that Massachusetts wasn't ready for a black governor, But Deval Patrick won by a LANDSLIDE!!!! I think America is pretty ready for a black president. Why not? I know racism is still rampant in many people, but it is severely declining.

Massachusetts is also the only state that recognizes gay marriage, so I think they are a bit of an exception.

I think Obama would save this nation, but yeah his short-life span in the political arena my hurt him.

Probably. I know the difference between the two, but for some reason, I have some association with them.
