michael_33 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 And let me tell ya 1st off....I really do not like Hillary Clinton at ALL! I truly think I would vote for my ex-girlfriends for that position before I voted for that.... But something has me concerned the way Obama has gained popularity throughout with (from what I've heard and read)not much credentials... It may be wrong for me to be truthful here,but I will say what is on my mind anyways... I'm not a prejudiced person at all as I have 3 lovely nephews and 2 of them are african American..Boy and girl... But I got a problem letting a Muslim become the President of the United States of America with the "War on Terror" that we currently face to this day... If it were the Irish,Italian or any other ethnic group....I would still share these same feelings, if they were bombing Grocery stores...Flying planes into buildings....Shooting shoulder rocket launchers at Commercial airliners or whatever throughout the world... He may or may not be a great man...?I don't know!But how do we all know he doesn't share the same religious believes as Osama bin Laden,but just a little bit better under the radar than the fanatics? I truly don't know much about him other than what I've heard other programs talk about him and of course what Hillary has dug up on him (which can't be trusted either) So my question to everyone here....Am I a rascist for feeling the way that I do?Because I'm willing to bet that many feel the same way I do too! PS....I'd be more than willing to take the Man and his wife out to dinner...pay for his meal...But the guy a beer...and have a few laughs with him... I just don't want this man running this Country!!

Fergasun Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 I really don't think he'll become president. The love affair he's getting from the media, no surprise there. I agree with the sentiment of Joe Biden. He's not Muslim... and I would have no problem with him running the country (except that he's a socialist, except everyone is tending towards socialism).

88Comrade2000 Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Why on earth are worry about something that will not happen. Obama will fall faster than Howard Dean did. He's a media creation and nothing more. When the votes are cast, he won't get any and will be done after the first couple of weeks of primaries. The democratic race is between Hillary and Edwards.

G.A.C.O.L.B. Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 You all are way off on Barack. He would absolutely make a great president. He DOES have experience and more importantly he has REAL WORLD experience. Plus he was dead on about the Iraq War, way more then any other candidate on both sides. Don't listen to all the bull**** about him. That's just some kool-aid drinking Sean Hannity ****. Read his book. Educate yourselves about him. Him and Guiliani are 1-2 in my opinion. He's got my vote. EDIT: Oh and **** Hillary Clinton and John McCain. They are both full of ****. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Burgold Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Almost every President has come from nowhere and lacks Presidential experience. Who heard of Carter or Clinton or Taft? I mean really, despite his name, who knew much about George W. Bush? They knew his last name and that he'd been a governor and they wanted to get off the Clinton train. That was enough for most. These guys rise up because they have a charisma or an idea or ideal that is appealing. The media will do its thing. Their thing is pump up a new figure and make a hero. Then, it will disect and try to bring the hero down. Obama is in the honeymoon phase of his candidacy. Is he the guy? right now he seems somewhat thoughtful and well spoken. He's willing to own up to mistakes and be somewhat blunt. Good qualities. He hasn't been tested yet. No one's really challenged him or put the fire to him. When that happens the American people can better judge him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thanos Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Same old rhetoric with a new spin. How much more experience does he need? Joe Biden has been in the Senate for over thirty years and people cant name three things he's accomplished. Obama will court and win the young vote and that may be the difference.

Mass_SkinsFan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Yes, I am VERY uncomfortable with Barak Obama. I'm uncomfortable with him because he's a LIBERAL, and therefore someone who holds no common morals or values with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

portisizzle Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 With the goings on in this country and outside this country I think it is high time for a President with the credentials to properly perform the job of Commander in Chief.

Morals dont mean a damn if you cant see the raod this nation is going that may take generations to correct.Conservatives have proven they cant run things .So at this rate they may not sniff the WH until the 2020's at the very least.

This has to account for something. It's not a secret that we're widely hated on the world scene right now. We need someone to improve our relations outside our borders (and actually unite the people in this country, too). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mass_SkinsFan Posted February 15, 2007 Share Posted February 15, 2007 Morals dont mean a damn if you cant see the road this nation is going that may take generations to correct. I know it's going to take Generations and decades to correct the things wrong with this country. It may take longer to fix than the 150 years it's taken to break it this badly. But the journey has to start with a single step. Nominating, running, electing, and letting a truly CONSERVATIVE politician would be a good first step so far as I'm concerned. Conservatives have proven they cant run things. When has a CONSERVATIVE actually be put in a position of power in this country's recent history? Certainly not in MY lifetime. Let's actually give a CONSERVATIVE a chance to run things before saying they won't do a good job. So at this rate they may not sniff the WH until the 2020's at the very least. No Conservative has had any level of power in the Federal Government in my lifetime, so I'm not sure how you can say this. You're probably right that no CONSERVATIVE could actually win, but I'd like to see one party or the other actually nominate one at some point in time.

Obama could join the DSAUSA if he wanted to. He's no more a Socialist than McCain or Guiliani. I guess this means you'll be supporting Tancredo or Hunter?
