Is America ready for a black president?

He has attended and is a member of the Trinity Unity Church of Christ all this time as a deception ? . He sure has all of us fooled !!!

There are plenty of reasons to vote against him . But this religion card is a false smear .

Give me one solid piece of proof that he is a practicing Muslim besides this rediiculous assertion that because his father was one then by association he is one. The charge that he was sworn in using the Koran is an outright lie.
Press reports from Obama's swearing-in ceremony mention specifically that Obama took the oath of office by placing his hand on his own Bible. Vice President Cheney administered the oath. I guarantee he would've brought it up by now if it were true. Minnesota Congressman Keith Ellison is the congressman who swore in on the Koran ;not Obama.

What does "black" have anything to do with it?

With all this talk, I half expect to see the name on the ballot written as Balack Obama... Not that I think it would matter... He'll still defeat Hitlery

I also agree with that, what does "black" have to do with anything? I think most of America feels that way. But I think, not very sure and probably shouldn't speak for the black community, but it may be possible that it is very exciting for the black community. Not to say the community would favor him because of his race, but he would be the very first black President, and with all the struggles the community faced in our history, this may be huge for African Americans.

I have to admit, when I first heard Hillary was running, I thought ...Uh oh....as I kiddingly said, you know how us females can get. Mad as heck one minute and may even lash out and then afterwards, we get all teary eyed saying, I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean that. I thought we all need to run for the hills

In truth, I did take the time to watch some of the debates, and I have to tell ya, Hillary holds her own and has impressed me. I do love and admire strong women, although that would not make me vote for her, but she did impress me.

The fact that she was female...and I'm female....and it would be the first female....didn't really get me excited ...until recently. There is a little part of me inside, beaming with some pride that a female may be President and a part of me thinks that's pretty awesome and does excite me just a little. But it still would not be my reason to vote for her. Not saying I am not...I am still undecided.

So, I'm thinking, it may be the same for the black communtiy, perhaps in their heart of hearts there is a light of excitement...can't say I blame them.

Well, I'm not sure we are. But were most definitely ready for a women. And not a Republican either. So he is the next best thing?

I think America is, I'm not an Americain citizen, but my only concern is that the voters won't choose him because of the rate of racisim in America.

I agree, what does "black" have to do with it? I've seen him on plenty of talk shows, he's an amazing man.

Hello clinton:

It's the wrong question.

When our founding fathers established this great nation, they didn't ask the world whether it was ready for something they had never seen before. They KNEW it was ready.

I'm damn glad, too.

Ok so here are my two cents and unfortunately it may not be a popular answer. I can not answer the above question because America is made up of social pockets. I can not pretend to speak for someone from Seattle or Austin or from New Orleans. I happen to live in the north east and the truthful answer in this part of the country is no. I will sight the New Hampshire primary as my example. Obama was going to crush Hilary by over a double digit percentage. But what happened? People said one thing and did what they were comfortable with. The North East is full of small towns and quaint villages, the truth is that if a black male is walking down the street or is in the store, they are given multiple looks. People are just not comfortable with it due to stereo types. But this is not just a black thing, I see it with middle easterners, people of mexican or central american heritage as well. Is it right? Of course not, but it's reality.

I don't like Obama because there is more to him than meets the eye. Wake up America.

Go Hillary!
