[easternpiro1]

too bad hillary is behaving the way she is i really liked her... but oh well...

SHARE IN MY JOY PEOPLE!

not too long ago a select ignorant few could get away with castrating, and hanging people for rediculous reasons, now look! im proud of this country's growth!

[CelicaST_CALI]

i cant believe a thread hasn't started about the candidacy yet..this shall be an interesting presidential run,a redneck VS black man.

[hongkongnerdboy]

now we gonna have gas prices at 20 bucks a gallon xD

[BlackCelicaGT94]

6 months to go and then this country will get better. We can only go up from here.

God i hope he doesnt make Hillary the vice president. i may fall over and die if that happens.

[manolis]

I don't live in USA but i believe thah world will be better if Obama will be the next president.

all i have to say is i dont trust anyone that has graduated from Punahou here in Hawaii. he's way too smart to be from Hawaii.......but oh well its better than letting Bill back in the white house and that other old man..........

[D-Man]

Hah-Hah. I remember chris rock (on stand up "Bigger and Blacker") he said we'd never have a black president. But Clinton was close enough to claim

Less than a decade later, here comes Obama. I still think they're gonna have to beef up security ALOT no matter who goes into office. Be it a woman or a black man, someone is gonna try to shoot someone.

but as long as someone shaves bush out of office I'll be happy!!

EDIT: (hell, i'm even ready to elect a goldfish if it'll get bush's dum bass out of office )

If they managed to keep Bush safe for the past 8yrs, Im sure protecting Obama wont be a problem.

[D-Man]

Now that you mention it... X2!!

Obama would need Clinton as VP to lock majority of votes for Democrat side. IMO.

I'm starting to wish that I didnt live in the US. The government is making me want to leave. Then again I live in louisiana but Jindal seems that he's trying to fix the state.

[manphibian]

I like him.

I have to admit that i don't know a lot about him but he seems like a decent man, quite eloquent.

Do you guys think he has enough experience to be president?

[BlackCelicaGT94]

anything is better than Bush

[D-Man]

Do you guys think he has enough experience to be president?

personally, i don't think he has enough experience to be a great president, But anyone who can at least get us to level ground (financially) will be great in my eyes

IDK, who knows, he might turn up to be the messiah, but (as stated time and time again) anything to get bush out of the office. Keeping bush in office is like putting me or you, or anyone else with Zero political skill in there. (no offense, but most of us aren't politicians, lol) I wouldn't know what i was doing. You couldn't pay me enough to do that. Uh-uh. Bush has about as much ability to run this country as me, Except he decided to try. (his daddy did it, so he wants to do it too )

EDIT: 4 paragraphs of pointless bush bashing removed

It's too divisive; I think the worst thing he can do is choose her for VP. He'd stand a better chance of winning if he chooses a running mate who is more moderate/conservative as a democrat. It'd be too much of a novelty IMO if there were an Obama/Clinton ticket. It'd just become a circus, and hard to take seriously I think.

I agree that he's quite eloquent - and more engaging than Hillary as a speaker. (I think she's really boring to listen to!)

As far as experience, he actually has the same amount of experience as a senator as Hillary. I'm not so certain that being the spouse of a president qualifies a person to become president; so with that, I think they're about equal. As for Obama to McCain, well, McCain is a dinosaur, which in itself in my opinion negates his experience. I appreciate his experience, both politically and his life experience, but frankly I think that 200+ years of having stuffy old white men running this country is just getting tired and not working out so well!

I couldn't be happier that Obama got the nomination. We DESPERATELY need fresh blood in the White House. I think Hillary is just another political clone/milk-toast Democrat who talks a big talk but I'm not so sure she'll actually put up.

Epic Success. Best Quote I've heard all week.

2 woots for that!

[DEATH]

You get a woot from me too [but I took that statement much differently than you intended it]

[GriffGirl]

You're a twisted little man, Death, a twisted little man.

It's not that the previous presidents were all old white men, it's that most of the more recent presidents in the past are just plain not cut out for the job. I mean we have had some really good presidents in our country who were able to make alot of progress. We need that again.
