Points: 13,970, Level: 76 | Level up: 77%, 80 Points needed | | If we had a choice of choosing people to be presidents, let's start with these three candidates, and you can add another who is or is not a politician. Someone who can run this country.
1. Obama
2. Clinton
3. McCain
4. Bill Gates
We should forget Huckabee. He still has not dropped from the race, but he is making himself a fool if he thinks he can overcome the widest margin of delegate votes. And I wouldn't put WWE owner Vince McMahon in there, either.

But in reality; while PN definitely has a right to his opinion; in this case numbersdo not lie. The majority of people whom have already voted in the Democratic primaries and caucuses do not seem to have a problem with Obama's name. The numbers and support underscore this loudly and clearly. | |

So maybe people are taking a better look at Obama. Right now, I don't feel he should be known for his race, but just a man.

Yes, there are some that still have not seen this fact yet; but as I've said: if you look at just how much support Obama is getting (more and more each primary); a new day has arrived in America's social outlook.Incidentally, I'm pretty sure this is what Michelle Obama referred to when she made the comment of "...this being the first time she's proud to be an American". | |

It just that Obama is the best thing going out of what we were given. No one has ever said he was a great choice for the job, but after what the republicans have done and the aversion to Hillary, he's just all that's left. You had a Mormon, a multi divorcee, McCain as front runners. And Hillary. All Obama has to do is keep breathing.

Level up: 28%, 75 Points needed | | Has anyone recently scene the videos where Obama clearly has plagirized his speeches?
That was my deciding vote in Hilary would be a better candidate.
Although in Canada our politics are rather dull.

Apart from the fact he's Black, and repeats a mantra of positive sounding but empty phrases, or he's the lesser of three evils - can you summarise why he would be the right choice as President?
