More presidential candidates: Barack Obama


Pros: First thing's first, it would be sweet if we had a African-American president. I have no problem saying it. Lots of people are thinking it.

This guy worked for what he has. I mean he actually had to prove himself rather than using his daddy's money to prove nothing.

Watch the well made video on his webpage and you'll want to vote for him right now. http://www.barackobama.com/about/

He is personable and likeable, and miracle of all miracles he almost seems like a relatively normal human being. I actually believe the words that come out of his mouth.

He seems prepared to bridge the red-blue gap if at all possible. He's going after the common ground that somehow gets ignored even though that's what we all want.

He's very nicely placed himself in the middle of the road which makes it all the more likely for anyone to vote for him.


Cons: There is a whole heck of a lot of racist, redneck, SOBs in the world that will not vote for a black guy. It's the simple truth. It's likely they don't know when the election is so that's a plus.

He might be just too perfect and idealistic. I don't know if people are ever going to be prepared for an honest politician with possible good intentions.

I read that he smokes. He should cut that out.

He needs more time in the senate. He needs more traction. Other than that, he's fine.
