Obama for President?

Do you want Barack Obama to be the next President of the US?

(63% of the GOVT 2302.8006 class said no).

I personaly like Obama ambition in becaomeing United States president.

He want to stop Iraqi war and make peace with them instead of sending more troops and wasting Americans money, that is excellent to me.

Also, health issue, less priviledge people who will not be able to avoide health iusrance will benefit.

Environmental and Global warming issues and many other issue he talk about, I just don,t have any doubt that he will do them, as the first black president of United States ever I believe he will lead for example for generation to come.

I would like to address the comparison between Senator Obama and Hitler. I do not think it is just to compare Obama to a dictoral, tyranical unhumane "man". Hitler and Obama are great oraters, but that is all they have in common. Obama is not going around the country and asking to kill groups of people he does not approve of. Instead this great man is trying to bring this divided country together and get rid of the red and blue states that have defined us for so long.
As someone working on their political science degree, this is an exciting race and I could not ask for a better man to be the next president of the United States of America. Savannah Warren

First, i will go through the things i think obama has going for him. these are not things i like about him, only things he is good at. obama is a great speaker and great at portraying a good leadership role. i truly believe that is all he has going for him.

anyone can have these skills but it is the substance that makes up the other part of the formula for president. obama has good leadership skills and he is a good public speaker. you just need more than that and he simply does not have it.

also, on the subject of obama vs. hitler you have to listen to what was actually said. nothing was said that obama was a bad person like hitler, that was made clear by the person who said it. all that was said was that obama presents just one factor to a similar formula. that formula being you have a troubled country and a guy potentially coming into power who claims he is going to change things but doesnt necessarily say how, he lacks substance. this same formula resulted in one of the worst, if not the worst, events the world has ever seen, WW2.

i am personally against obama.
