Barack Hussein Obama for president?

Will Barack Obama's Muslim name, especially his middle name, and the fact that his father was a muslim cost him votes if he runs for president?

1. Only if stupid people believe Fox New's lies. SO, yes.
2. And Barack is a Christian so people will still vote for him.
3. Ditto to Summer's answer
4. That has nothing to do with it. It's his inexperience that will keep him from being a candidate. He won't be president. if you want to bet money, I've got a thousand dollars to back this up. Hillary stands the best chance, but i still think sh'ell comeup short. There's a lot of buzz right now because she's a woman, but when it comes down to it, I seriously hope voters look at whether she is capable of dealing with the problems this country has right now. I say Mc Cain or Guiliani for President. prefferably Guiliani.
5. Not if he promises to bring down the price of cocaine like Clinton did. The dope mans friend.
6. yes ,if you look at this country there are still people that judge on names and appearances, as for me he might be a good candidate someday after he has been around a little more, like 10 maybe ,15 years, I am sure he is a good guy but I want more in my president, and he has not served in any wars or got shot in backside like kerry, as far as I know he hasn't even dodged the draft
7. Yes, Barraka oh- bin Gunga- Din Sin Lauden will not got a single vote from us white male, hoe slappin, pickup truck drivin, hooch makin respectable southerners. Now go get Bessie and grab my gawddam shotgun.
8. Anything that costs him votes is worth it.
9. It might, and the fact that his step father was a Muslim too, however, I think mostly it will be his extreme........liberal agenda that will catch him up, and Hillary....shes not likely to like this situation at all. After all she considered herself the heir apparent and little ole Obama not. One wonders if they join ranks however what will happen.
10. The junior Senator from Illinois certainly has charisma but does that make him a good President? No not by itself. If he had more experience, say completed a six year term in the Senate maybe I could support him. But now, I don't think he has enough experience. Maybe he would be a good choice for Vice President. With 8 years in that possition he would be ready to become President in 2017.
11. What about Freedom of Religion? Is this not what this nation was founded on?
12. hell yes, that is all we need, a president who wants to be sworn into office on a koran.
