WHO's hat is in the ring?
 

Obama? ...is that how it's spelled?

A Muslim President...:hmm:

2008 should be a turning point here in America...

Do you think before writing? Barack Obama is Chrstian according to the wikpedia article http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Obama#Personal_life

Really just becasue his name sounds like Osama, you can be more thoughtful. :nope:

As I have stated before one may claim he/she is Christian and not be so.

Thank you for pointing this out I will look deeper into it.:)

P.S. Not just because his name sounds like "Osama"

Fair enough, but it doesn't mean he is Muslim, why did you think so?

His grandfather is Muslim and his name appears to come from an Arabic word (Link-http://www.debbieschlussel.com/archi...k_hussein.html).

I don't think he has a chance of winning. I'd like to see Colin Powell, but he's said that he won't run. Just as long as Hillary Clinton doesn't win...

I may very well give Hillary a go. Obama does not have enough experience yet in the political arena. Powell won't run, period. McCain for some reason makes me feel uneasy in a president roll. No one else floats my boat.
Father-Son, Husband-Wife. Seems logical to me. :)

My pick: John Bolton.

Anything less just won't do.

You mean this guy?

I reckon you might be surprised by Hillary, I think somehow she is a lot less... soft than billy (although he proved himself otherwise..:doh: ) Anyways, I reckon she might surprise you if given a chance.

Nothing fights harder than a mother defending her offspring....:hmm:

No. More like this guy:

Bully! Bully!

Ah, he looks a respectable figure if not a little dated. I prefer the photo of him in his dear skin hunting gear and rifle.

Ollie North for President!

Barring that, I like the Avon Lady's pick.

As far as Obama is concerned I really don't care if he's a Muslim, Mormon or a Jew, but he simply isn't qualified to lead a Junior College debating team let alone a nation. That's it and that's that.

I'd vote for Powell if he would run. A president and commander in cheif, i feel should have a good background in the military. Not a draft dodger, and not a fortunate son hiding from the draft in the air reserves. What's more he isnt a necon warhawk, and gives me the impression he would behave more wisely then the current crackpot.

The fact that he wont run tells me he's the right man for the job, and knows better then to jump into the crock of schitt that the oval office will be when Jr hands off his mess to the next president.

I agree, I'd vote for Powell if he would run too. The 1st and Primary job of the President of the United States is to protect this Country. Everything else comes second. Something the Clintons had no clue about. Both Oliver North and Colen Powell know this and would now how to do this, And still maintain the piece because they both know both sides of combat and would do what ever it take to prevent combat but would never back down when it came time to step up to bat.

I did not care for Hilary when she was playing Ms President before and I'm sure I'll like her less if it's for real.

:rotfl:

Ahh yes, Mr. North, that pillar of our community that was convicted of three felonies and only barely avoided prison. (Yes I know the convictions were overturned but only on a technicality.)

Barack Obama, however, would make an excellent President. I have witnessed his rise from a mere state legislator here in Illinois to the US Senate, and throughout he has proven himself to be intelligent, hardworking and honest. I can care less if he's christian, muslim or voodoo- he is eminately qualified for the job.:know:

I'm fairly certain, having undertaken much study into Theodore Roosevelt, that he wouldn't be saying bully to Mr. Bolton. Probably something much less positive. Bolton was IMHO a total loser that couldn't even get confirmed by a REPUBLICAN senate for the UN job, and then after Bush subverted the legislature with a recess appointment was almost universally despised by his colleagues at the UN.

From what i remember about Oliver North was that he was turned into a Scapegoat and he only got off those charges because He brought the entire Government blunder to the Public's attention and they could not hide the truth.

Frame ups are the way of our Government/Military to prevent those that are truely guilty from being cought. That's why Oliver North was let go on a Technicality. He did what he was told and he got cought and then turned into a Scapegoat to cover up the truth. He agreed to keep his mouth closed and they let him go in a way that did not say "Oops, we messed up".

Col. North was convicted but what a lot of people don't get is when he took the Fifth Amendment it wasn't to protect himself, it was to protect national security. For some that may not be a very important distinction but to me it is. There's no way he could actually get elected, but for my money he'd be exactly the sort of President we need right now, and that's not something I can say about any of the people who've already said they were going to run in '08 be they Democrat or Republican.

The only thing I've seen Obama do, is be Obama. Which is appearently enough if the media loves ya...

The way the world is right now it's important that we have someone as President who isn't just going to be there, but actually will be prepared to make some very tough decisions that some people, or a lot of people even, won't like. We're in the Age of Terror here and can't simply have another Poll Watcher President who's afraid of offending anyone, even the people that want to do us harm.

That's very... odd...

Do you have a picture that describes what policies of Powell's that you don't like?
