but then of course, Barrack Obama hasn't actually said he was going to run for president yet. He will wait until after this November 2006 Election. I can tell you, I am taking a deep breath, keeping my fingers crossed, and praying that Obama will accounce his candidacy, and lead us out of this NIGHTMARE that Bush & Co. have created for all but the very wealthy.
OUR NEXT PRESIDENT, PLEASE. How refreshing would it be to finally have a Commander-In-Chief who shows genuine concern for the average middle class American citizen? One who seriously takes providing healthcare, implementing active measures to preserve our environment and endangered species, improve our educational system and infrastructures, and can communicate articulately and possesses intelligence, charm, humour and charisma. He would extricate us from a illegal and completely useless and wasteful war in a country that never did anything to us.
With a leader like Obama, we won't be singled out as the most fiercely despised country in the world. I have every confidence that Barrack could salvage what is left of our pathetic country. He could restore our pride in being an American and help salvage our tattered image. NO MORE DIMWITTED, BUMBLING BUFFOON IN THE WHITE HOUSE AND NO MORE UGLY AMERICAN.
Obama would be a president that we could respect and look up to. With Obama as our president, we would no longer have to apologize for our leader and be ashamed of his actions and inactions. At last, the Democratic Party has a person that we could actually get excited about and pull out all the stops to insure that he will be our next United States President.
I feel strongly that our country will be so much better off for having President Obama and once again experiencing the joy of HAVING TAKEN OUR COUNTRY BACK!
Sample another one..
in Lati America, they've got a name for the kind of politics that Sen. Barack Obama represents: neoliberalism with a human face. It's an attempt to revive an unpopular free-market, pro-business agenda behind the leadership of someone whose personal history suggests an affinity with the exploited and oppressed.
Obama, who was elected senator from Illinois in 2004 and is now perhaps the most prominent African American politician in the U.S., is angling to play a similar role in the U.S. as he weighs a possible run for the presidency in 2008.
Consider the junior senator from Illinois' own words in his new book The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream.
Early on, the reader learns that Obama shrugged off his college radicalism during the Ronald Reagan administration. "My friends and I stopped thinking and slipped into cant: the point at which the denunciations of capitalism or American imperialism came too easily," writes the man who declared on the eve of the 2004 elections that he would be willing to support the bombing of Iran.
Elsewhere, Obama offers a caricature of the left's views in order to assert his own supposed realism. "I would find myself in the curious position of defending aspects of Reagan's worldview," he writes. "I couldn't be persuaded that U.S. multinationals and international terms of trade were single-handedly responsible for poverty around the world; nobody forced corrupt leaders in Third World countries to steal from their people."
While critical of Reagan's wars in Central America and his support for apartheid South Africa, Obama backed the Cold War: "Given the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan, staying ahead of the Soviets militarily seemed the sensible thing to do."
The U.S. occupation of Iraq? Obama offers criticism, but no alternative--other than increasing the military budget.
