Barack Obama in '08'

Well my take on it is...

Marko Kloos, and Eghad I'm on the same boat as you guys. I think anyone who's in favor of one amendment trumping all needs to get their head checked. Our loyalty as citizens should be for ALL the Constitution, not just our favorite parts. What good is the 2nd if the 4th and 5th are destroyed?

Oh wait, his dad was a recent immigratns so he doesn't give a rat's behind about the suffering of true Americans.

CALNRA, someone being an immigrant has nothing to do with not knowing about suffering. I'm sure there are many people that come to this country BECAUSE of suffering in their country. I do agree that Obama SHOULD look at the history of gun control and how it has racist roots. Unfortunately, (I don't mean to stereotype here) many blacks are convinced that they should not arm themselves for whatever reason. The same applies for a lot of women too. (Again not stereotyping) However I vote for the candidate not the party. If one candidate is anti-gun but the rest of his co-workers are pro-gun, but the anti-gun's stances on issues are VERY strong to my beliefs I'll vote for them. It's all about balance, too many people want things in the simplest of terms of black and white, and they want their party to control both Congress and the White House. Hence why both the Democrats and the Republicans are failures to the true American ideal. Like it or not, the best political climate is one where both sides compromise for the good of the people rather than consolidate power for themselves and future office holders.

Barack Obama: 'I Inhaled — That Was The Point'



That was what Illinois Senator Barack Obama, currently on a book tour that may or may not segue into a run for the 2008 presidency, said to New Yorker editor David Remnick this afternoon at the American Magazine Conference, after Remnick asked Obama whether or not his admission of drug use in the book would become problematic if he does, if fact, run for president.

The softspoken Obama, who during an appearance on Meet The Press yesterday admitted he would consider a run for the White House, openly criticized the Bush administration in front of 500 or so magazine executives during a wide-ranging, 45-minute discussion, occasionally with Remnick's prodding. "This is the most ideologically driven administration in my memory, so obstinate in resisting facts, dissenting opinions ... [They entered the White House] with a set of preconcieved notions." Obama said. "I think this administration has done great damage to this country."

"I wouldn't fit in with this administration [because I think] actually being informed is a good basis for policy," Obama said to laughter. "OK, that's a low-blow."

Obama was particularly critical of the war in Iraq. "We've used up so much political capital [in Iraq]," adding that it is "going to take the current military the same amount of time it took the military to recover from Vietnam."

After some lighthearted grilling, Obama said Remnick "sounds nicer in his columns, but turns out to be somewhat of a prickly guy."

Remnick, who at this point could be considered the President of the United States of Magazines, forced Obama to address the topic of religion. "It's not 'faith' if you are absolutely certain," Obama said, noting that he didn't believe his lack of "faith" would hurt him a national election. "Evolution is more grounded in my experience than angels."

Throughout the interview, Obama expressed doubt about his willingness to put his family through the scrutiny of a presidential race. "My wife would be leading the bandwagon for me to be running for president ... if I was married to someone else."

When asked if the White House would be a place worth inheriting in 2009, Obama said, "There are a lot of problems to clean up, and nopt a lot of resources to work with." He added that the first agenda of a new president should be to "stabilize and extricate ourselves" from Iraq.
 
Remember Jerry Quarry,Gerry Cooney and Tommy Morrison?

They were all the "great white hope" at one time or another in heavyweight boxing.

Obama is the "great black hope" of the democratic party.

I would have no problem voting for a black man, but not him. Whats his qualifications? Colin Powell would get my vote, but he's smart enough to know he doesnt want to get involved in that mess.

I intend to vote for someone other than Barack in 2008. Coming from IL and Chicago with their anti-firearm idealogy is enought to say NO way. Living in KS we won't get the chance to vote in a presidential primary and I won't change parties just to vote in the Democratic primary because I would have to vote for the Hildabeast. Either one of them is a horrible thought. Having said that, this guy's looks reminds me of Alfred E. Neuman of Mad magazine. ;)
