I know GW has been a terrible president but still I don't think he was so bad that America is going to put both Hillary and a half black man in the presidency.

BTW, I think Obama would make a good president. He's kind of like Palmer on 24.

His name alone will keep him from the presidency as did Bobby Jindal's name kept him from Governor in LA.

His voting record will sink his candacy if he gets the nomination, it's extremely liberal both in Illinois and in Washington.

He's testing the waters, if he can't get a momentum going he will back out
due to lack of funding. You know like Pat Robertson.

Re: Obama has thrown his hat in the ring...

What is going on with his past? Are these rumors about him once being a Muslim and attending Islamic schools in Indonesia correct? I don't particularly care for either Obama or Hillary, but how in the hell did he get this far if the rumors are correct?

Re: Obama has thrown his hat in the ring...

The rumors are false. He never converted to Islam and he never went to an Islamic school in Indonesia. Its sad that politics have fallen so low that we even take rumors like this half seriously. I don't think Hillary would make a good president and I don't think Obama has the experience to run for president. If the election were today I would vote Chuck Hagel. McCain is just the GOP version of Hillary, like her he has sold his soul to try to be president.

Re: Obama has thrown his hat in the ring...

Hillary would be good as VP, but we need someone new for Pres. If Obama or Hillary run for pres the Dems might actually lose because I don't think enough people who vote, will vote for a black or a woman.

I wouldn't say totally false:


In two best-selling autobiographies—"The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream" and "Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance"—Mr. Obama, born in Honolulu where his parents met, mentions but does not expand on his Muslim background, alluding only to his attendance at a "predominantly Muslim school."

In the book, Mr. Obama briefly addresses his education in Indonesia. "During the five years that we would live with my stepfather in Indonesia, I was sent first to a neighborhood Catholic school and then to a predominantly Muslim school; in both cases, my mother was less concerned with me learning the catechism or puzzling out the meaning of the muezzin's call to evening prayer than she was with whether I was properly learning my multiplication tables."

Is a man who is half balck and half white, a black man, or a white man?

Luckily for the United States neither Obama or Hillary will ever get elected as President or Vice President, because they both suck.

Can anyone name anything good that Hillary or Obama has done?

Re: Obama has thrown his hat in the ring...

Obama has only been a Senator for 2 years so I think its to early to say whether his career has been good or bad. Hillary, who I don't like, has had a decent career as a legislator, better than some in the Senate. The last Senator elected President was JFK, maybe someone should mention that to those two. I prefer Hagel(GOP) or Richardson, Gov. of New Mexico.
