Barack Hussain Obama...........
Seems to be the hot topic lately. With my leftty liberal leanings I think I like him, though he looks a bit slimy and smiles like a crocodile. In a country as institutionally racist as america though I can't see him ever getting the top job. It would be good if he did I suppose. The arguement that he is inexperienced holds no weight after two bush's and a Ronnie Raygun have made such a cock up of things. Maybe just for the national psyche it would be good to have a mixed race president for a few days (hours/minutes/seconds) before some redneck assasinates him. Any thoughts BE?

Re: Barack Hussain Obama...........
I actually like Obama, as for slimey, he is a politician, so it's all about degrees I guess. I noticed Oprah has jumped on the bandwagon early.

You wonder if there is not something inherently wrong with a system that allows slime balls to come so far. |
Re: Barack Hussain Obama...........
He has more chance of winning the lottery than winning a presidential race IMO. US is definately not ready for a black faced president, too racist. Much as I would like to see HC give it a go, IMO she has too much baggage ie gender, philandering husband and an agenda which would include huge public spending on reforming healthcare. While many want and need the healthcare reforms, many more are libertarian and prefer less government interference than more. Hope I'm wrong.

Have you seen his 2004 keynote speech at the Democratic convention? If not I strongly recommend you watch it - I thought it was awesome. You Tube Has it here, official Obama site has it here
yes i remember watching that, it's early days for him but given time i think he'll do well. |
