Obama?!?! Yes or NO?!?!

[nikki100789]

I would like to know everyone's opinion on President Obama! Supported with good reasons as to why you like or dislike him?!?!

[Lite]

I prefer to keep my political views private. I will say that I think he's far more verbally articulate than Bush.

Well, nobody asked you, so wtf do you still ned to post if you need to feel so private? Share or **** you.

[Junket]

My opinion is people need to stop looking to to the president and more to their governors, congressmen/women, and mayors to try to influence any kind of change in their communities.

*buuurp*... who cares....

[Mish]

My good reason for supporting Obama is, he's got the groove.

[ecojeanne]

isn't that interesting, they throw up a black mans face and now no-one cares....i still stand by my opinion that he is just a puppet like all the rest. look at how bush was made to look like a fool by the media. look how obama has been made to look like the hero and proof of change is his black face..you're a dumbass if you think you had any say on the vote. america needed to up its rep to get more clout.

no point talking about the same problem...

they all suck ass

Eco with all due respect I disagree with that analysis. Bush was not "made" look like a fool by the media. He WAS the fool and the media just happened to catch on to it and report his foolishness. (Not soon enough unfortunately)

Obama was a nobody. He wasn't a rich and prominent man like Bush. In the 2004 presidential elections noone's even heard about him. It took some really hard work for him to get to where he is now and unlike Bush he didn't have old daddies cronies to baby feed him every step through. Very few people believed he could do it. People believed in his ideals, but when it came down to it, noone really believed a black man could take residence in the white house. But I did because I read "The Audacity of Hope" long before he became a presidential candidate and I knew exactly where he was coming from. It inspired me so much I even wrote a song around it (back in January 2008). Reading his words made me realize that he was coming from a completely different paradigm and he really would deliver some degree of positive change if given an opportunity. He was a person who was worth believing in and once again the media just reported on the reality. It wasn't always that way though, the Republican party tried it's best to dig up dirt on him, but notice how he responded to the allegations, he ran a much more peaceful and positive campaign offering hope and something for people to believe in instead of dog fighting, so is it any wonder that people were inspired to believe? You can say that he's just a puppet and offers more of the same, well some things are hard to change because they are rooted so deeply in the culture, but imo the changes he is pursuing at the moment in the themselves are already ground breaking.

That's right! Get em baby! <333 LOL!

Obama's a seriously, seriously impressive guy, in my opinion.

[Doc Durian]

He's a smuck, like Bush. But as someone pointed out, a more articulate smuck.

There was only one legitimate and qualified candidate in that election, and his legacy WILL take back the government and deliver it back into the hands of the rightful owners, the people.

[Gribble]

He's better than the alternative and that's what really matters in politics. Life too.

Imagine a world in which Palin takes the presidency after that old fart McCain kicks the bucket. I shudder to think how close we came.

Rumours now are that she left her governor's post to free up time to run for the next election.

Some people never learn.

[Doc Durian]

She wouldn't get the Libertarian vote the next election. And that's going to be the big one.
