If Obama looked white think he would have gotten as far as he did?

Question

I'm assuming all people know he is both white and black.

Answer 1

In my opinion his color and young age make him stand out from the washington crowd visually which makes it easier to see him as something new and different

Answer 2

Harvard Law Review, law professor, state senator, and Illinois senator is a pretty good resume, white or black.

Answer 3

Well let's turn the question:  If McCain looked black think he'd have gotten as far as he did?

Answer 4

Farther.  He would be like Sarah Pailin--only he would actually talk about the issues.

Answer 5

your saying he got there because he was black !!!

Answer 6

McCain and all the GOP hacks would have packed up and gone home because it would be such a Dem slam dunk.

It will still be a slam dunk.  Haters, you are in serious denial.

Look for me in Nov- I will be the one trying to wipe the smirk off my face~!

Answer 7

No.  

Answer 8

Yes he would have... He came into the public view because of his outstanding rhetoric, not the color of his skin.

However, I admit he would not have gotten as much media coverage at the start of campaign.

OBAMA/BIDEN 08

Answer 9

Of course he would and even further. nobody would question his abilities and patriotism nor would he be compared so much with Palin.

Answer 10

Not a chance!

Answer 11

Yes, he would have, when I first heard him speak I knew nothing about him and he made an impression that I will never forget.

Answer 12

He looks funny either way.

Answer 13

I'm tired of this stupid question.  If Sarah Palin looked male would she have gotten this far?

Answer 14

No doubt, much, much farther. Racism is alive and well and I even think getting worse once again.

How unfortunate. We want to jockey into other countries and tell them how to be and we are such a poor example of embracing all people.

Answer 15

pfffffff,never in a million years,a white junior senetor with no expierence whould get help from the liberal bias media and defeat hillary,laughable.

Answer 16

Yes. You should read Obama's bio. I don't think you have an inkling of how intelligent he is.  

Answer 17

For sure.  If anything, he would be taken more seriously.

Answer 18

nope
