Obama,I think hes going to be asked to be the V.P. I think McCain will pick Rhomney for his V.P..I hope Ron Paul wins the election.

I can't see why the endorsement of a guy who is best known for getting $400 haircuts is such a big deal. I don't doubt that Obama has the nomination in the bag but I think he could do MUCH better in selecting a running mate. He really doesn't need John Edwards. John Edwards really can't help him.

Now, if it were John Edward, the guy from "Crossing Over", well then I might be interested! Wink

I don't think there is anything enigmatic about Obama at all. IMO he's a typical democrat who's for social programs ,labor and the working class, and minority issues.
And I think those are all good things but I also want a president who's going to keep the economy strong, lower taxes to the middle class, and get us out of Iraq. If he gets in and does all of those things then I say good for him...but that's a tall order.

I have to agree with Carol - there's something not quite right about Obama. At least, with Hillary, you know what you're getting. With Obama, I think we are being sold some kind of prepackaged image -- and I'm still not quite sure what lies underneath.

What concerns me is not so much him but who he surrounds himself with. Bush is a perfect example of this - he was pretty much harmless in and of himself - but he was surrounded by people who simply did not have the best interest of the American people and American democracy at heart.

So, it worries me that Obama was associated with Rev. Wright for so long. If this is an example of how President Obama will choose his trusted advisers, perhaps we all need to think three times before we support him.

I think it is a mistake to paint McCain as "more of the same." I think there would be significant differences between a Bush and a McCain White House (no Dick Cheney for starters...). McCain is definitely a moderate. He has great respect on both sides on the aisle in Congress. There is no one who could begin to question his commitment to this country. The only thing he really has going against him is his age.

I think McCain need to take particular care in choosing a running mate. Perhaps, more than any candidate since Reagan, he is choosing a potential successor. My own preference is Mitt Romney but the Republican National Committee never takes my advice.

Hello. I just found your forum.
Obama is just what this country needs. I am Black, and also an abductee. I have been changed genetically back and forth between Black and White.
It is not a "coincidence" that Sen. Obama is the FIRST Black man who has a real chance of becoming president of the USA at the SAME TIME that I have the ET connection. I don't know the connection YET, but I will soon. If we are going to have disclosure, who better than a Black man who knows how to deal with "people" (ETs) who look different?
Also, people across the world will look more favorably on the USA if we have a Non-White president for awhile. Most of the people in the world are PEOPLE OF COLOR. They are AWARE of the USA being a somewhat racist country.
Also, Obama is a good role model.
No doubt about his PATRIOTISM. HE IS PUTTING HIS LIFE ON THE LINE TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT! (The OTHERS aren't.)
Cool

Welcome to Department 47, ImzadiR. Not sure I follow your arguments on this but if Obama makes you feel better about this country, then I can certainly respect your support of his candidacy.

I sometimes think that the Presidency has become somewhat superfluous in this global village of ours. I seriously wonder if anything will change, regardless of who the next tenant is at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. Confused
