will obama make the first black president?

I agree totally we shouldnt judge aperson because of the color of their skin but by that persons personality, it is qiute disheartening to hear that in this 21 century some one can still think like people used to think in the early ages of the world ,things like race hs been an issue even in the sporting world, we need to stand against this vice forever?kilimanjaro.thanks for the insightful reply.

ive learned that when somebody has their mind made up theres no way your going to change it. I dont think Obama is a good fit for this country as well as mccain. Ron paul could do a better job than each of them in my opinion. hilary too. but i agree with whatshername on the fact that whomever gets elected needs to make it a top priority to keep the radicals islamics at a distance and dont get too comfortable with them. I beleieve barack still has his loyalties to the muslim religon and wont be able to "control" them as clinton did. we wont even mention bush...

Sorry to say but you are so wrong.. Take a good look at his WHITE Grandparents in the picture in "people" right here on Mylot, There isn't one drop of Cherokee blood in that family. Oh and take notice of how much "Barry" as they called him looks like his white grandfather. And Yes, his father did abandon them so he could go to Harvard. Obama, Sr. did not try to keep in touch with him or his mother. Barack Obama Sr., a native of Kenya, met Stanley Ann Dunham while they were students at the University of Hawaii. In 1963, he essentially abandoned his family to continue his studies at Harvard. Barack spent four years with his mother and her second husband in Indonesia, he returned to Hawaii at age 10 to live with his grandparents and go to the Punahou School in Honolulu. At the time,his mother, Stanly Ann was an anthropologist employed on development projects in Indonesia and around the world helping women obtain microfinance. Leaving his mother was hard, but Barack preferred to stay in America with his grandparents than in Indonesia with his mother.

HOLD on kowgirl, you are going too fast .,listen to your words you surprise by yuor talks ithink you dont want to accept the reality of the situiation and refusing to accept that he is black ,whtat makes aperson black is not how he was raised and who rised him itis their parents and obamas father is african not even african -american,obama knows this and he has been in Kenya three times and also ,his father never abandoned him, couples disagree and even after their separation he was in constant contact with him ,another thing i dont know what you mean by white, obamas maternal grand mother is not white, shes cherokee,just accept the truth and it will set yu free dont deny what people are about to witness,aperson of black descent leading the world super power,if obama is not black the where do you place peolpe like Bob marley ,Mariah carey,/

YEAH ,IHOPE MARTIN LUTHER WOULD BE HAPPY TO SEE WHAT IS ABOUT TO HAPPEN BUT ALSO SAD ,THAT PEOPLE HAVE NOT CHANNGED IN THEIR HEARTS ONLY LYING ABOUT CHANGE IN THEIR ACTIONS.kilimanjaro.

Why shouldn't he be the President. The man has run a decent campaign that has somehow managed to maintain momentum. He's managed to craft a decent message that the voters seem to like and he's managed to get everyone else talking about how he'll be the first-ever black president without getting personally involved in a racial debate. It also helps that George Bush has made a hash of things and the popular sentiment is not for anyone associated with George Bush. While Barak Obhama has had a record for being against the Iraq war from Day one, John McCain continues to back a war, which most Americans do not want to be involved in anymore. So, on paper, Barak Obhama should be a shoo in. Having said that, there are many, many more weeks to the election in November. Many things could happen. Iraq could suddenly go right. The economy could pick up. George Bush could get shot and John McCain's Repubilcan's would get loads of sympathy. And one should never under estimate John McCain who has proven to be an experienced and seasoned political fighter.

yeah right,kerriannc,this is going to be the greatest test for AMERICA,its always good to see the way people have been looking at him and the expectations that the people are putting above his shuolders,the tears that have been shed,to see that.
