Obama 08'?
TraceOneInfinite:
Sounds too good to be true, Obama as president. I know the media has some angle with this one. I came up with two theories but I'm not entirely confident in either one.
My first theory was that the Republicans media machine (the likes of Rupert Murdoch) are trying to biuld Obama up so he becomes the Democratic candidate, and then he will ultimately lose in the end because white America won't accept a black president with a Muslim name.
My other theory is that they are just trying to sell a story. They couldn't find anything else, so now there starting this Obama for president thing to sell some TV time and some magazines.

but he isn't a Muslim. So it dosnt mean shit. I think alot of people will vote for him if he puts in work, but the election is sooo far away....

From what I've gathered, he'll run in 2012, after Hillary loses in '08.
Obama has one problem right now, he hasn't set his agenda in stone yet. He speaks about race, and how if people believe in him, then they'll believe in another young black youth, but he is afraid to talke about anything else. He walks a fine line, he has to keep his core base happy, minority and liberal voters, but he has to be able to appeal to the majority of white America. He has not taken a stand on environmental issues, or anything else. His got along ways to go. His doing it on charisma alone right now, but sooner or later he'll need to stand for some issues.

I think it would be a great idea, other countries might not look at us as a bunch of white imperialists anymore, it gets a new perspective on things, it's about time, and hopefully then we will have more of a chance of using our strength for good and help out africa, but at the same time racism hasn't gone that far away yet so who knows how the country would react, it could result in us electing another 4 years of republicans.

You're a fucking idiot. You have absolutely no base in reality. Let me explain some things to you, son.
Obama will not run nor win the democratic candidacy in 08. He will not be beaten down by racist republicans; he will never even get his own party's nomination. Hillary Clinton has already won the nomination. You are so blind in your hatred of republicans that you don't even see that the man doesn't even have support in his own party. If you want to yell racism at some shit, maybe it's racist that the democratic party won't give him a chance.
Of course you wont' even fathom that any of that could be possible, because you've been told republicans are evil and racist and that democrats are for the working man and aren't racist. Reality doesn't matter to you, you couldn't see it if it smacked you in the face (It just did)
Othere examples of stupid shit you said. "Maybe he'll help africa". Why the fuck would he help africa? Just because he's black? That's the most rediculous shit I've ever heard.
Here's something that will blow your mind, if you ever actually opened up and believed it. President Bush has pledged more financial support to africa than any other president ever elected... for instance, he just pledged 100 million dollars to help fight terrorism in east africa. He launched the 5billion dollar "Millineum challenge account"; he simply has done more for Africa than any other president, EVER. President Clinton, your hero, for instance stood by while millions were murdered in Rwanda and pulled out of Mogadishu after a small battle, then stayed away from Africa for the rest of his fucking presidency.
Of course though president Bush is an evil republican, and in your small mind couldn't possibly do anything good for africa. Bill Clinton on the other hand is a sainted democrat, and must have done beautiful things for Africa... even though the truth, the facts, the history, whatever will show you that Clinton didn't do shit for Africa and Bush did more than anybody alive ever has, don't even try to look at it objectively, it would upset your entire political identity and you might have to actually pay attention to the candidates from now on instead of just voting blue.
Mr. O:
let's worry about having democratics controlling the senate and house...first...then we'll talk about him being president.
