    Not sure if it's entirely true, but I think it is, I first heard it here.

    I went to barackobama.com, and it sure looks like he is. This will be an intense election.

    What will his platform be? What is his track record so far as a politician? (In other words, how has he voted or what has he brought to the table?)

    He wont have a chance and he knows it, but what this will do is uplift his career as a politician...You know, "Been there, done that" here's my resume.

    All Barak has done so far is start an exploratory committee...he had to file paperwork in order to do that. That doesn't mean he is necessarily running. If the committee comes up with nothing, he won't run.

    He is popular and has charisma, but most of his policy ideas are just an attempt to pander to peoples emotions. "Millions of uninsured..."

    As I have said before there is no chance of Obama getting the call, his name sounds too much like "Osama" and Rednecks in the South of the US will think he is. Plus he's black.

    Get all your money on Hillary Clinton to be the next President. :)

    Obama has a charisma and likability that has got him this far, but AGS is right that racism will keep him down in the party he is in. Maybe he will be the token black democrat to run for president, but since the illuminati run the show - it will be just that - a show. Poor guy getting used by the people that he thinks loves him so much.

    Even CNN got confused about his name.

    What an unfortunate middle name he has. Barack Hussein Osama

    He's a moderate left that has been anti-War since the start. On certain issues he tends to be liberal, such as supporting universal health care.

    You mean he actually has an issue that he is in support of? wow, and I just thought he was another "no experience necessary" candidate like John Edwards....btw, hillary's campaign has started to question barak's muslim background...that may be the death of him.

    thats odd...no one seems to know what his position is on anything, unless you are a diehard obama fan...very much the same as John Edwards. He won't win because he has no experience.

    Will Obama be different than all the other puppets we have so far? To even have a chance he will need the vote of the elite. Without that backing he(like every other candidate) would have no realistic chance.

    exactly...obama is already going after hillary's supporters, but I doubt he will get far. the only real support is from his wife, who calls him her "babydaddy". I would support him though, I would be happy to buy him a bra.

    There are a couple of things that will hinder Barack Obama besides his bi-racial background [not an issue with me]:

    1. His ultra liberal voting record. Pegged at 98% by some who track this.

    2. A land deal scandal that is likely to haunt him.

    Read the Barackground article for more information.

    Well, I guess some people are just lazy and ignorant then because he's been unusally candid on most issues.

    And no, I'm not an Obama diehard fan.
