What's to discuss? Do you have any informed opinion to present as to why you don't think it'd be good?

so ya'll don't think that a middle eastern guy could possibly run this nation further into the ground?
they can barely run 7-11's much less a country . no ofense to any middle eastern people but when i go into a store owned by them , they dont id me for anything and most of them sell fake id's i have even seen them sell drugs , no one person is alike but from what i have seen of thier culture . they're just here for the tax free money .Originally Posted by Chink5

Not being racial or sexist, but I do not think our country is socially ready for a non white or non male president. I think people would flip out and some **** would go down. I am a republican, I will not be voting for Obama.

and even if Hillary was a fantastic candidate, which she is not, other countries around the world dont even let women speak, women are viewed as being less than dirt and they are treated that way. Could you imagine a female president of the USA trying to negotiate with them......LOL
I havent looked into Obama very much so i dont know what to say about him.

Indeed. Our nation are being bought out by out countries whether it be land or business. Plus US is being trampled on like a door mat. Pretty sad. Nowadays most business are outsourcing there business outside due to cost and tax so they need to outsource. Greedy ass CEO's and high government tax is what's eating our dollar. Soon or later I just know some other country is gonna be the superpower. Im just waiting on that.
Oh and OBAMA just sucks ass. I hate that mf. Seriously no respect to the US. Dude if your a patriot, and love your country I would excpect him to make role model of himself but he failed.
Everyone saw how he was excercising his right not to pledge to the US flag? WTF is that seriously? How can you go "oh it's my right not to the Pledge of Allegiance?" WTF are you blatantly stupid or some ****? YOU'RE RUNNING AS A FREAKING PRESIDENT!!!!???? POS.

Me personally wouldn't mind seeing Obama or Hillary as president. Why, because it's time for a change. Plus, this is the perfect time for a radical change since many people feel Bush been f'n up for two terms. Bad part about that is there are some many closed minded people in society today. Rather than vote for best (or least flawed) person, they are going to vote based on raced or gender. Seriously, I wonder who would win if the identity of each candidate was hidden.

power and money rule this country now, you can be made to shut up if someone wants you to be. if you speak out against the government, which its your right to do so, you will disappear. if you try to vote a certain person out of office, you and your followers/like minded people will be ****ed over in some way.

I am tired but I'll go ahead and type up a response before I head to bed, this thread is a good basis for my argument that not all people need the right to vote.
First off if you are not born a U.S citizen you cannot run for president, Barack Obama was born in Hawaii. His father is Kenyan and his mother is white, and he's Christian not Muslim.
Look deeper and actually research rather than take what the media feeds you and you will realize that:
A. as a person Barack is not all that bad (although I do not agree with a lot of his policies)
B. Everything the media feeds you is not the gospel.
The "middle east" dealings you speak of have to do with a school he attended in Indonesia. Fox news tried to spin it as a school that had anti american sentiment but CNN actually traveled TO the school and proved that to be false.
On the Flag issue, he took the lapel pin off of his suit and stated he does not need to display the flag to be patriotic. Was it a good political move? Not entirely because a lot of uninformed people who eat up whatever the media feeds them will run with it as you guys have done here. BUT the move appeals to his voters who are momentarily disgraced by the mentality America has, and how our image has been tarnished across the globe.
My advice is at least educate yourself before forming an opinion or attempting to state facts without basis. I am not a democrat but if you look at the panel of democratic hopefuls it reflects the diversity of America (Black, Female, Hispanic) more than any other panel in the history of this country.. be proud that we have come so far that a woman and/or minority can be considered for the presidency.

True Im not concerned about his race or religion just my mentality was more focued how on he was unpatriotic he was. At the time with the current situation US is in at least be a bit sensitive. But in a sense tony makes a good point
The whole not pledging to the flag thing really got me irritated with Obama. I do not care if he wants to practice his right not to do so, your running for president, you will do as the other presidents do and respect our flag and our country. The flag that represents our country is a very important thing to me. I have my grand fathers military flag mounted on the side of my house on a 10 ft pole. It comes in at night and I make sure it stays in good condition. I grew up around values like that, I am an eagle scout so I did stuff like that a lot.

Was it disrespect or a choice? He chose not to wear a lapel pin, woopty doo.. is that pissing on the american flag because the rest of the candidates wear one? They would wear a clown suit while campaigning if it meant more votes.
So true, none of them was wearing that pin before 9/11.Originally Posted by tony

Obama is a joke. But, he will get alot of the black and minority vote simply because of his skin color. That's just how people are, like people want like people taking care of things. Doesn't matter that he won't pledge to the flag of the country he wants to run. He will get the vote unless he takes a stand on welfare. Taking a stand on welfare reforms and attempting to change the free money will sink his voting power faster than an iceberg. If he is stupid and does that, he will follow Colon Powell right down the road to presidential failure.
Hillary Clinton, while I don't like her much, would be a much better choice. You people say that the rest of the world will laugh at the US for a woman president, you are wrong. The rest of the world isn't a bunch of retarded backwater people who can't even tell you the capital of their own state or think it's funny to have a TV show pitting 5th graders against grown people in a battle of wits and watching the grown-ups go down in flames. Our country is full of idiots. Plain and simple. We are a population of instant gratification slackers.
Want proof? Read these boards daily. 80% of you can't even be bothered to type correctly, spell words correctly or use punctuation much less check facts, read, learn or have an informed opinion on what the hell they are talking about.
That is what our country has to deal with day in and day out and that is why we are failing compared to the rest of the world. Our dollar is in the toilet so much that other economies are starting the switch to Euro's, which will send our costs through the roof on such unimportant things as oil. The war on terror has landed us in hot water with damm near every country in the world save Namibia and even they might be miffed. But Xbox's and Jennifer Love Hewitt's flabby bathing suit pictures still continue to make front page headlines. What does it tell you when you log into yahoo.com to check your email and the stock problems and falling dollar are buried under "Santa has to take 34 milliseconds at each childs house on Christmas eve...but you can't say Christmas because it's offensive to some retarded religion.Originally Posted by typicalIAmember
I think our choice of president is one of huge list of problems and until our entire government is overhauled, it won't matter if IA member number 3442 is president. Our country is still in the crap heap.
You want to see someone that speaks a good game, from his heart and takes no crap? Watch Ron Paul. He'll never win, but he needs too.

There are (as of 2005) alot more White Americans. 80.2% of the pupulation to be exact. I didn't have time to do the math on other ethnic groups.

*of course, these figures are not correct i'm sure, it IS the government we are talking about.*
That is one of the main reasons Obama won't be elected. Add in the fact that he's inexperienced, of middle eastern decent at quite possibly the WORST time for a middle eastern to be running for office and that he is un-american (or perceived to be by not pledging to the flag and you have failure for Obama.
Hillary is the danger. If women banded together, they could elect a woman president. But she is marred by her husbands past pokings and lies so she is on unstable ground. The problem is that those are the top dogs in a crappy election. They are the best their party could put together. Sad.

first off shouldn't this be in the lifestyle section? and second, I agree with SL65AMG, this country's image will be a joke. After traveling abroad, MOST countries despise the US because we are a "violent, arrogant, cocky nation" and people hate that in a sense we police the world. Now granted I believe that we are doing some good in IRAQ, but that's because I have several family members over there and they see the good and bad in what they are doing. I personally don't believe 95% of the **** that CNN or FOX has to say simply because everything is mis-represented or changed so it looks good or bad upon something or someone. Usually, our President. Don't get me wrong, I'm not the biggest fan of Bush, but I also think we've had worse Presidents. Hilary would be a detriment to this country. I do not know much about Obama so I'm not going to make up some BS about the guy or knock on him because of his race or ethnicity. I am going to vote, but I'm just not sure who I'm going to vote for yet. But it sure as hell won't be Hilary.
