I think so, but I don't know if they're ready for Obama. A CNN poll said "Seventy-two percent of white Americans and 61 percent of black Americans surveyed in a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll ... say the nation is ready for a black commander in chief."

Personally, I just want the best (conservative) person for the job regardless of any of that other stuff.

Certainly if qualified, what makes you ask?

I want the best person also. To me the person that can cross party lines and gain support would be the person of my choice. I like a person who makes me feel like they would sit down and eat dinner with me.

I just wanted to kind of take my own poll. As a black american i jut feel deep inside that the powers to be wont allow it. Am I wrong for thinking that way? I was Bill O'Rially lastnight and he called rapper 50 cent a pin head becuase he said "That someone wouldtry and kill Obama first." Some people thinks that is crazy to say but alot of black people think this way. what say you?

There is no doubt in my mind that there are people out there that would try and kill him simply because he is Black. But then there are others that would try and kill any President based on their particular prejudice. It really hasn’t been that long since Kennedy and that was simply for political reasons.

s_cianci agrees: Right. There've been 4 presidents assasinated so far and none of them were black!

I see and talk with people from all races and cultures during the day (public library). This is a Republican white-bread county, but I hear support and enthusiasm for Obama from whites, blacks, Asians (especially supportive), and some Latinos.

Obama is well-educated, smart, sensitive, open to ideas, well-spoken, an excellent writer, charismatic, and good-looking. On top of all that, he has a smart, charming, and pretty wife who is an even better spokesperson than he is.

What's not to like? He has never played the race card, as they call it, so when people look at him, they think "man" not "black man." His blackness is very much a part of who he is, but he doesn't flaunt it nor does he apologize for it. It gives him a broader understanding of being human, not only for the benefit of blacks but also for whites. What amazes me most is the enthusiastic support he is getting from Asians of all ages who traditionally stay apart from blacks. Apparently, they also see Obama, not so much as a black man, but as "a very special man."

If anyone can unite this country, it is Barack Obama.

Dark_crow agrees: And it would not surprise me if one day he is, but at present he is not experienced enough. Actually, mitt and John are the only ones experienced enough.

That would be nice as well.

Because I'm a conservative.

As to your question on 50 cent, I think any president is a target. I saw the video of him saying that and I think he was showing genuine concern, but my question is why? Why do "alot of black people think this way?"
