Barack Obama?

What's the deal with this Barack Obama guy? I never heard of him before and then BOOM, he's all over the place. Even Time magazine asked "Could Barack Obama be president?" Does he have some remarkable policies or something? Or is he just charismatic?

1. to young and no experience, in 10 years may be next president
2. Not only is he unusually charismatic, but he seems to be the real deal. Honest, willing to listen to others, principled. I highly recommend that you read his book called "Dreams from my Father." It's beautifully written and a great story to boot. It will give you insight into a remarkable person.
3. He is a special interest bombshell.
4. i guess the guy can speak. He has shown us nothing, he's for amnesty for illegals, he for cut and run, he's for higher taxes, he's only served 1/2 of his term. He's shown me nothing to make him stand out. This is another media hype, like paris hilton. No substance.
5. Here is a URL that has his speech from the democratic conference in 2004. It was when the "world at large" first saw him real, it shows what he is all about. I think he would make good president, he seems very oriented toward the people and what we want. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WwNdM_GLidE&mode=related&search=
6. The one thing I've noticed that is that when asked a question he answers it. He doesn't try to dodge it he just answers. Honesty is a hard thing to find in politicians from either side. He is young but if he runs I will vote for him. He also voted against the Iraq war. That's something alot of Dems didn't do because it wasn't the PC thing to do at the time. Someone that actually says what they really think. Wow!
7. Can't say. But you made me curious to look into his background though. Keep the good ones coming Mr. The Avatar!
