Will you vote for Obama or Hilary for PRESIDENT? Your OPINION counts!

[jlewis]

I honestly haven't made my final decision yet.

I will say this,   Obama and the way he raised his campaign money, doesn't hold any alliances with any longstanding  political action committes or government boosters ( with  maybe the exception of Oprah).

So he doesn't owe any favors ( at least not yet).


As far and Maria Schriver,   she is Arnold Schawznegger's ( The termminator,  now the governor of california) wife.  And he is a republican.

I Voted for Obama and all of his delegates here in IL.  I like Hilary too, so if she wins I have no problem giving her my vote in the Presidential election.

Obama does so much more for this country on levels Hillary can never touch. What Obama does for young black men and for us as a people is so much more than even WE understand.

Can you please further elaborate on this? 


I say this because once the euphoria is over and folks come down off the high of emotional rhetoric and symbolism...the bottom line is people will be judging critically on his ability to get the job done. Don't get me wrong I find the brothas accomplishments quite remarkable but he has yet to say anything to me that is concrete in the way of how he plans to address some of the major issues plaguing this country.  The next president is going to inherit much of the messes BUSH has made over the past eight year and I am very leary of placing that kind of clean up responsibility on someone so new to the game...at least withotu hearing some concrete plans on how he plans to go about it.  Yes it would be nice to have an African American as president, but not for the sake of having one.  And to be fair to him, I don't think his being president is going to erase the many decades of racial problems that have plagued this country nor be a cure all for the problems within our own community.  I wish we would help our children to look for more heroes within their respective communitties to look up to and those within those neighborhoods actually take up the mantle and be the role models that are needed.

It's funny that I should read this now. My history teacher is currently in the middle of a speech about these two candidates and how their stands on "Health Care" is full of crock. She claims that Health Care would require a change into a socialism-type government which will NEVER happen, which in turn means that Health Care will NEVER happen. 

I'm 10 seconds from exploding, obviously.

Actually, the whole universal health care concept is VERY socialistic.  Nevertheless, I don't understand how we can start a whole new program to SAVE people and the other programs that we have that's suppose to save people are financially broke, like social security.  It's a nice thought, but it's not practical.  If the money isn't there, it can't happen.  What do you want them to do?  Divert the money from the war?  What about Al-Qaida??

I have friend who dont want to vote for Obama beausse he isnt a CHRISTIAN or whatever.. He told me that he thinks OBAMA is the antichrist and that he will make ppl take the mark of the beast.

Man, Obama is a member of Trinity United Methodist Church in Chicago. Those white folks will say anything but "he's black" to give a reason for not voting for him. Tell the truth and shame the devil!

[ssabass]

The only thing that Hillary Clinton would change as President is the Gender. She is a student of that same old Politics that has brought this Country down. You would have to be very "Delusional", to believe she is an agent for change. Change was never part of Clinton campaign, until she saw how powerful it works for Obama. The real change will come when we put new blood, with new thoughts & ideals. Someone who can bring people of all races & all political backgounds together, & my friends, the only candidate that can bring "CHANGE"  & the only candidate that truly wants to is, "BARAK OBAMA".

But, they prob heard a white person say it and influence their decision.

BTW- I made a mistake, the proper name of Obama's church is Trinity United Church of Christ, Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Pastor.

Obama! Why?? Because I like him!!

[Jmanley1116]

Not even sure...but honestly I think that Clinton is a loon and Obama scares me.  Clinton is looney for that remark about Dr. King and President Johnson.  And, Obama scares me because he is a politician and people genuinely like him.  No, I am not going near THE argument.  I am just saying that I don't like the fact that everyone "likes" him.

Is it a "too good to be true" thing??

I see your point!!!!

Obama is charming and a good speaker.  He says things people like to hear.  The general public is in favor of changing the tired old system.  One catch; the system can only be changed by those who operate within the system.  Do you think congress is going to cut off their own perks?
