But like Moses, Noah an Joshua, Mr Barrack Obama shall lead de way, weydah dem like it or not, weydah dem comin or not.

Obama to de world

Answer 2

I think he's great. I didn't like Clinton too much because she wasn't really doing that great of a job of running her campaign. I don't think women should be president either. They say that if women ruled the world there would be no wars or missiles or nothing, just peace. I think its BS because if we have a female president she would  be bombing everyone, once a month, for a week. LOL, JK. That was just some sexist humor. I hope she does become VP though, I don't want John McCain to win. We've been a republican nation for two terms already, and its time to bring our brave troops home!

Answer 3

Yes I 'm following it very close . I think he'll do just great And thank for all of your love and support !!!!!!!!

Answer 4

I think countries like Jamaica are in for a rude awakening. Black leaders are narrow in their thinking as they focus on their own and their priorities are not expanded to include a wider area.

Answer 5

nah i couldnt care less.

Answer 6

He is a rock star. He will win so long as there is no truly irrefutable evidence against him.

He name is just TOO popular on the internet and in mass media. His win will demonstrate the fundamental weakness of the democratic system: It becomes just a popularity contest.

I also think the USA needs a change. A black man in power WILL lower the oil price simply because the OPEC leaders can relate to an OBAMA. OPEC will act differently. Even before OPEC does anything drastic, speculators may RUN from investing in oil simply in FEAR that OPEC will love Obama and cause the panic will cause the price to drop by AT LEAST 15 to 20%.

DO i think Obama will lead to a more profitable america? i dont really know, but i know that his face will lead to a welcomed repositioning of 'brand america' in the eyes of the world (including 'enemy combatants').

Americans are not supposed to make decisions based on race, but the fact is that the racial meaning of an obama win has americans either scared or anxious, although nobody wants to admit its (for fear of being seen as racist or bigotted). It would represent a MAJOR milestone in world politics. The only thing that could beat its significance would be a black (or non-white) UK prime minister. The meaning? the world has come a far way since slavery and will never go back.

(i guess all this means that i AM following the elections!)

Answer 7

no we have r own president

Answer 8

No I am not.  I dont like politics too much.

Answer 9

I'm American and I feel that Senator Barack H O'Bama will make a fine President if he was given the chance.  The American caucasians are down playing Senator O'Bama and his wife Michelle.  There are so many racial slurs, ignorant comments and petty questions all over the Yahoo Q&A.  People's true colors are coming out.  The ones that stand in power are affraid of losing it if  Sen O'bama become president.  They are counting the chickens before they hatch.  A sign of guilt.  People are talking about assassination already on Senator O'Bama and his family and he is not the president yet.  We have some sick minded people here and on the Yahoo Q&A.
