Can Barack Obama be president of the people?

will he support all americans be they democrat or republican, Chinese or Polish, Guyanese or Sri Lankan? and will a certain ethnic group always lay guilt rips on him when they don't get their ways?

Public Comments

1. yes, The Black People.
2. Not the United States, no
3. More likely than John McBush
4. under barack obama ama ama eh eh...
5. Yes, he will be the People's President, unlike George W. Bush.
6. well his church didn't teach him to get along with any race besides black so I don't think so!
7. Can he be? yes Should he be? No. He is an unremarkable liberal democrat... hardly the best they have and Hillary nor John are really any better.
8. No. McCain will be, though.
9. Yes, and all the animals too. Why Not.
10. Yes, he can be MY president *any day*. ;-)
11. Yes, he can and will represent all people, if elected. Anything any president proposes has to go through the legislative process. Any race or segment of people who thinks he can favor one or the other does not understand how the process works.
12. i think he can represent all but the racists.
13. Yes, whites are going to blame every downfall on Obama for the next 4 years. But he can lead. and nobody is as biased to there own party as a republican... Example: bothe BUSHes
14. Answer to 1st question: NO! Answer to 2nd question: NO! Answer to 3rd question: ABSOLUTELY!
15. Why not. Is belonging to a party hereditary? Is the elction and leadership about people's livelihood or about party's survival?
16. I think you ask the impossible of any president. There will always be people who hate based on race, gender, and other issues that aren't really important to the election. Obama is the best candidate, though.
17. Yes he will. And some groups will always blame him if they don't get their way. Some groups will blame him if their toaster burns the toast in the morning and the cat threw up on the rug.
18. the rich will whine when they have to start paying their fair share
19. If he is going to win as president against McCain, then ask yourself why out of all these states he is winning, they are mostly Republican? McCain 08! Besides, I have seen the numbers that voted for him, goes to show many ppl are Republican and Independent, however if Hillary loses, I'll vote McCain... that is the way politics work.
20. Well, if I was to judge what his pastor has said, I would say no. Ops, guess I should say ex pastor. I don't really care for him much, and don't intend to vote for him. However, I do think he is color blind. I don't think he has any racism in him at all.
21. He will be just as good a President to the American people as George W. Bush is! ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Actually he can't possibly be as bad as Bush!
22. I believe Obama will be the president of the people. He has faced discrimination in his own life and will not do this to any group of people. I think he will include people of all races and backgrounds in his cabinet and will work to unite the country.
23. honestly. it's going to be white people. i'm white myself and it disgust me how racist some people are.
24. No . he will be exactly like all other corrupt dems and repubs .he talks a good line but he is stiil a puppet to the Corporate States of Amerika . the more the media ignores the other 20 candidates the more it is in our best interest to vote other than D or R .
25. Absolutely Not, He has no inclination to, He is only interested in his Marxist leanings, He is a full blown goat kissing liberal, who if he could not promise to give anyone he met something for nothing, he would not even be standing where he is right now. The Ferraro lady had him down cold.. Barry would be history right now, if he were white.
26. it is doubful in him even being elected any president is of the people, the question is that one FOR the people? anything is possible, the good Lord Jesus knows
27. If it's not Obama then who? Catering to corporations, accepting "contributions" from lobbyists, etc. has taken the focus off of serving the people and has caused a drastic reduction the American middle-class. Obama has taken no money from special interest groups. If elected he would seek to alter how lobbying is done and make all parties accountable. Personally, I don't see how a string of white millionaires has done much to improve our standard of living. How can they possibly relate to the kind of financial and social problems that millions face daily. I'm a white male the same age as Obama. I'm delighted that we can finally get a man who is brave enough to go against the old policies. A man who will reevaluate foreign policy and our nations social service system. If things continue as they are I can't help but wonder which corporation is going to run the government.
28. This is a racist question. Even if you don't say who this ethnic group is. He will support all americans, democrat, ratpublicans, Chinese, polish or whatever. Blacks don't want him in to give us stuff. We want him to be president to give us hope, that there is chance for us!
29. NO he can't.. his training has been black liberation theology STOP .. that is a dead issue for 200± years any black that has failed,,, is his own problem We (Americans) even changed the laws for affirmative action.. DID you take advantage... NO BHO has no plan... lots of talk no action but only a black promise to change,,, in the face of no action in his senate voting record.. sorry bad bet .. Is this the best the black community can offer the rest of America.. (An insult)
30. Hillary is loosing. Even if she wins 60% of the delegates in all remaining 6 states, and wins 60% of the remaining super delegates endorsements, she can not gain anything close to 2000 score. But Obama with only 40% of the remaining delegates and super delegates can score up to 2034 which is well above needed 2025 score. Do the math. She is out!
31. If Barack Hussein Obama gets Elected he will be President for only the BLACK people of America.White people are voting for him only because they feel Black people are owed this election it's will be a Token Presidency they will vote him in just to prove Barack Hussein Obama to be a ineffective President The real people with the power and MONEY! will control how he will fail in foreign policy and in the governing of our country.
32. I believe he will. I hope people don't let race or religion be key factors for posing questions like this. In all honesty he seems to be just as sincere and knowledgeable as any of our previous presidents who were baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and episcopalian etc. and White Americans.. which makes me wonder was this a question of interest in previous elections or is it just with Barack Obama..A change is needed indeed..
