Can Obama do the impossible?

Question

With so many racist people against him and his wife I wonder if he can pull it off....take note that JFK the last president to take on racial inequality head on was conspired against and assasinated by his own government (OBVIOUSLY IT WAS COVERED UP)....The nature of this country leads me to believe that Obamas flame will be stomped by the Powers that be

Answer 1

Obama... Black????

Answer 2

Yes he can, and it's about time people get their heads out of the sand. The Civil  war is over an freedom rings all over this country.I'm white but I feel we are all brothers an sisters, an no better than the next person. The time for racialism is over an this country is better than that.

Answer 5

Answer 6

He's done the impossible once already in defeating Clinton.  And truth be told, Clinton was amazing as a campaigner; but he still won.  

So I don't think its outside the realm of possibility for him to do it again; in fact, I think the odds are with him.

I do see it as a possibility that he'll have to deal with one or more assassination attempts.  That could be true of any President; but if we are honest we have to admit the odds of an attempt occuring go even higher with Obama if only because he's black.  Its not guaranteed, but the odds are probably higher.

But if it should happen and he survives the attempt; it could serve to make him one of the most popular Presidents in history.  He has already taken on a celebrity status with his following; surviving an attempt on his life could elevate him to a "near God-like status" in their eyes.  Many would bring up that he has God's protection to survive that, and many would believe it.  

It might not be the worst thing to happen to him; in fact, if he beats it it would probably be the best thing that could happen to his Presidency.

Answer 7

Can Obama do the impossible?  Good question, but I think he'll have an uphill battle doing it.   As you mention, there are many racist people out there that would love nothing more than to see him fail.  

Since the 1960s the U.S. has come a long way on racial equality.  It still has a way to go.  But, I don't think its because of JFK's position on racial inequality was the reason why he was assassinated and why you feel Obama's flame will be stomped out by the powers that be.  Most likely it was organized crime that killed JFK because of his brother Bobby's aggressive tactics to fight those in that underworld.    I could be wrong here, but it is food for thought. Also, JFK's father got a lot of union help to elect him to the presidency and JFK basically turned his back on the unions after the election.  Consequently, they got really p'd off and may have been part of the plot to knock him off.
