Would you vote for Barak Obama as the next U.S. President?

I don't see what is so great about Barak Obama. All you do hear is that he is a rising star? Of What???

I might vote for Hillary Clinton.

I think that Barack Obama is a born leader. I think it's time we broke some records in a presidential election, and either a black man (Obama) or a woman (Hillary) would be quite refreshing. I find it hard to believe that Hillary could win, even though I would probably vote for her myself, because I live in the deep South where she is typically hated. For some reason, I feel like Barack could break the barriers and emerge victorious!

I would definitely vote for either one for President if they were running. I think Obama may have a better chance than Hillary. I think either one would do better than Bush and his cronies. Rush Limbaugh is one person I'd never vote for...not even for dog catcher. He makes me ill!

I would vote for either of them. The reason is that they have some new ideas... of course that is also why people bash them... they aren't the traditional candidates

I would vote for someone more moderate, and I'm hoping that either Senator Evan Bayh or Senator Richard Lugar (a couple of Indiana's own who fit that bill) will be running in the next election. If both ran, it would be hard to make up my mind.

hillary will be good at least by her beauty ???

I haven't seen any indication that Obama is president material. what are his accomplishments? what exactly is his stance on any issue? so far, all I have seen is a pretty boy face, and a line of smooth talk, so let's see the political passion

Im not sure yet, but we definately need a BIG change!

I could see myself voting for Barak Obama.

the problem is that most people don't want to work together to make humanity better. instead of tackling poverty, education and health concerns directly, they wrap everything up into pseudo-politics. no one person is the solution. what we need is for communities to stand together and reclaim power. how can we give so much power to the government? why should they decide how our earned money is spent? taxes are meant to provide for the people, not for the personal needs and wants of the politicians. instead of focusing on the next problem we elect president, why not focus on setting up a system where a president is not needed to make decisions that half the population will hate. lets build up the community- give where it counts. again, no one person is the solution.

Not sure yet but I have 1 question, What has Barak Obama done, Not sure about anything he has done yet

I think they both stand for (to me) the rights things. It is going to be hard to make a choice. I shall be paying close attention to both of them

I haven't heard what the right-leaning pundits are saying about Obama. I tend not to listen to them. I'm a registered Republican, but I don't vote strictly for the party. I listen to the candidate and his/her issues. Would Rush and et al say the same things if Obama or Hillary were Republican? It seems no matter what Republicans do, those pundits (except for O'Reilly) put any Republican on a pedestal and rationalize their behavior. They're sheep who don't have a mind of their own.

Sorry, don't know him...

That is a tough question. Obama has some really promising ideas and plans for our country. He is also fairly new to politics. That is both a good thing and a bad thing. He talks about Washington needing change - yes it does, desperately. However, without much political experience to back him up, he can't be certain what needs changed or how to go about it. I do believe that he would make a good leader, and could easily make a good start at putting our country back on the right track. Hillary is another story, I was considering voting for her - but I am not so sure now. It seems that she changes her stand on the issues based on which way will gain her more votes. If she is already lying, and "telling the people what they want to hear" and she has not even earned the Democratic nomination, then how can we trust her in office? I am really not certain at all who I want to back in this upcoming election year!~

Wow, I can't believe you started this discussion 2 years ago. It looks like Obama is going to be the nominee, in fact he may have "unofficially" wrapped it up tonight with his victory in the North Carolina primary and possible upset in Indiana. As for Limbaugh, Hannity and O'Reilly I don't believe a word any of them say. Oops - I almost forgot to answer your question - I sure will vote for him. Annie
