- American is the land of opportunity!
Love it or loath it, Barack Obama is increasingly looking very presidential.
Perhaps this vibrant 21st century candidate simply offers voters a fresh choice.
Maybe its the dynamic, inspiring, potential for a new political stamina to stay the course of change to what ever degree it may be, when it occurs.
Many citizens appear just to be happy to reach for the stars and grasp the Obama dream that a potential or hope for some change, any change in American politics is still possible in this great country.
Voters have endured years of status quo candidates. So called progressive politics has been sound bite talk, stifled under a frustrating and increasingly arrogant one dimension political stagnation.
So many average, decent, hard working, tax paying, Americans are yearning for something, anything new to give political change a chance.
Why despite all the criticism, all the doom and gloom, all the negative rhetoric, despite whatever obstacles that have been there has this candidate has made it to this point?
There is no perfect time, no perfect candidate, and no perfect policies.
America seems to grow, better itself, and progress as a nation when we are forced to make leap of faith, pushed forward vs. nudge forward, big fix, grand scale, go for it, leaps and bounds, dynamic and dramatic changes.
It may just be time for such a personified chance of change.
It may just be Barack Obama time. - Reply to this comment
- After elected, I think the first two things we should require of Obama the intellectual "chosen one" should be to
A: Name all 57 states and
B: Give a speech to Memorial Day survivors
---------------------------
John McCain should explain:
A: Women who likes to be raped by apes
B: Czechoslovakia
C: Shia vs. Sunni
D: Al-qaeda in Iran
E: Viagra vs. Contraceptive
F: Whining Americans
G: Psychological Recessions

- John McCain is a total fraud. He is a multi-millionaire. He calls social security as "a disgrace". Yet he keeps taking the benefits!

- Obama is an airhead who can''t remember which preacher he threw under the bus last, or why. He''ll spend his whole presidency trying to undo everything that belches forth from his wife''s pie-hole.

Before he''s elected, it''d be interesting to see him accept Sean Hannity''s invitation to go on H&C. RFK is before my time, but would he have been the kind of guy to go to Glamour Magazine to complain about news coverage (even if it IS Faux News)? :o - Reply to this comment
- PS Like for example I''ve heard recounts about how RFK was really gutsy about taking stands . . . has Barack ever stuck his neck out and stood his ground and taken the hard knocks until history eventually proved him right? Advocating redeployment of troops to Afghanistan and diplomacy with Iran don''t count because that''s basically been the Dem platform for the last 3 years or so . . . he could just be doing what''s popular, couldn''t he?

You know how a lot of women seem to be fascinated with Marilyn Monroe - like Anna Nicole Smith, Madonna, Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, etc so then they all try to mimic her in her mannerisms and stuff? I swear Barack comes across like he''s obsessed in that same way with JFK, RFK, and MLK - like he''s trying to emulate them not necessarily in terms of how they pursued their craft, but in wanting to channel like the ''mystique'' that we imagine they must have had by emulating the ''aura'' they give off? He even went and surrounded himself with JFK''s daughter by hiring her to be his VP vetter . . . isn''t that a bit like how Nicolas Cage who keeps making those Vegas/Elvis movies went and surrounded himself with Elvis'' daughter (by marrying her)?
I don''t know what to think about that - because like Marilyn, JFK, RFK, MLK were all revered in their chosen fields, but didn''t they get elevated to iconic status partly because of their tragic and unexpected deaths which tends to get people wondering about what might have been?
I don''t know . . . I guess the concern is that hopefully we''re not just getting all swept up in the mannerisms such that nobody''s double-checking to see whether Barack''s working just as hard to replicate JFK''s actual leadership abilities (?) - Reply to this comment

Right back at ya. spreading faux info...what a jerk you are. Hamas wants peace and that''s why they are hoping for someone with a brain and good judgement instead of following the right-wing propaganda to unconditionally back Isreal''s never-ending warring with its neighbers. - Reply to this comment
- Terrorists want McBush to be the president. It''''s much easier to deal with a senile. He will be asleep at the White House - the way he has missed the most of the senate meetings or the way he falls asleep in the ones he attends.

- The Obama dog and pony show is now taken to new heights (or more appropriately, new LOWS) with network lapdogs Couric, Gibson, and Williams.
This is the most egregious and disgusting display of left wing media bias in broadcast history.
Network Pigs... Unmitigated ho''s. - Reply to this comment

- I hope McCain gets the presidency. His senility has set in already. He cannot produce two coherent sentences. He will sign over the sovereignty of this country to Mexico or Columbia.

- McCain''s political experience is a joke. Just because you crash your plane in a foreign country does not make you an expert in foreign affairs. Wake up McBush supporters!

Now that''s a real KILLER!

- The fact that President Barack Obama has to go with all that security worries me.
Bush has made such a disaster out of the Middle East that it looks like a scene out of the movie ''Children of Men''.
I doubt he will be able to get us out of there like he promised in 16 months
But what''s more important for us Americans is that no Bush, Hillary or any Republican for that matter, try to claim victory or take credit for ending the war in Iraq.
That''s how History will reward Barack Obama with victory in Iraq and punish Bush and Cheney with failure.
