Actually, Gary; I was thinking that Jaaman and yourself seem to be part of the society that is still having trouble with the idea of Obama being President. You are wrong about one thing, though. I have no personal problem with Hillary. I think you have been reading my critiques of her campaign so far in that light. I don't think that you understand the main point I've made: Hillary's campaign for nomination is in dire straits- no denying that- but the real points are that America has pretty much shown that they are ready for a Black President, and America is looking for a change from the politics of the past. And Hillary is seen as a connection to that past.Obama's string of victories practically screams out America's approval of him. However or whatever light you view Obama in; he must be part of the Democratic ticket no matter what. To leave him off in the face of such ovious support would signal the death of the Democratic Party.
Your question of how good a President Obama will be be is a good one. The answer simply is: Well, he can't be any worse than what we've had lately!
This is what Obama is preaching to the masses when he gives a speech. And this message is hitting home.
The other thing I like about Obama is that he is also not running on the "Republicans caused all our problems, but only Democrats (Obama) can fix them. He understands that America needs to concentrate more on getting those problems fixed; and less on the Democrat vs. GOP angle. And the next President will have to be one that can (and will) work with all; irregardless of political affiliation.
This is the attraction that I see in the Obama campaign, and it looks like a sizable portion of America is seeing this also in Obama. How else can you explain 10 straight primary/caucus victories in a row? Not small victories either; but double-digit percentages! I do agree with you about Texas and Ohio's value for Hillary: it may be her last stand. Lose these, and I'm pretty sure the superdelegates will start jumping ship.
