Do you think the voting population is enlightened enough to elect Barack Obama president?

Public Comments

1. I don't understand the question. Is he running? Best wishes, pup
2. I think that he would make a great president and i am a conservative republican
3. I think obama is dynamic enough to be voted in
4. I would if he were to foresake SOCIALISM, but I kind of doubt he would do that.
5. Yes absolutely.....! He is THE best deserving candidate we've got.
6. No but he's not running yet. Hes got charisma but is somewhat still establishing himself, give it a few years then he may stand a chance, if he decides he want to run.
7. Sorry, I do not think the mentality of the current administration or it's midline followers will support/elect Mr. Obama- He has my vote as he had in the past, but sad to say from what I have heard coming from the mouths of small minded people in all political parties, I am in the minority. So my answer to your question is no. This will not however, deter me from supporting him or campaigning for him. And yes I am in Illinois
8. Why Barack Obama? Because hes a mulatto he is suddenly going to be an honest politician? You are aware he takes money from Lobbyist? You sound racist
9. No, the asker isn't racist for asking this question. But the question is very condescending. "Enlightened enough" .....? Sheesh!
10. he think he will have more of a fighting chance once he serves his second term in the senate. that way he will have a more established background on the federal level.
11. I would like to believe that the public is ready for a black president, but I don't think it is. In any case, He is very young and probably should get more political experience. On the other hand, he is exceptionaly bright and seems to be very insightful. I would vote for him if he were a candidate.These next 2 years may just tell the tale.
12. wow, i hope in my life time we get to that point, that is a great?? i know i would vote for him
13. You mean the people who voted for Bush? No they are clearly too stupid to vote for someone as intelligent as Obama.
14. You mean Osama Obama, er eh, Obama Bin, er eh, Obama Osama?
15. depends on what he is running from
