Is America ready for a black president?

Question

My friend thinks Obama won't last two weeks in the White House before being assassinated. I have a little more hope in my country than that. Do you think we are ready?

Answer 1

All I know is that the people are ready for some different leadership. Electing McCain would only be more of the same--old white guys are the reason this country is in such sad shape right now.  The color of Obama's skin shouldn't matter anyway--it is his character and ideas that impress me.  

Answer 2

We better get used to it. Whites will be a minority by 2042.

Answer 3

Yes the country is ready but Alan Keyes didn't get nominated, so I guess that even in the unlikely event Obama does get elected, we will just have to settle for a mulatto.

Answer 4

I dont think it will last long at all. It'll be over before it starts unfortunately...I'm not voting for Nobama but I would still hate to see something bad happen to him.....Now,however, I believe that if we are going to have an American president, then he should atleast be American.  

Answer 5

yes,just not the america hating,racist obama!!

Answer 6

No. Racists have taken over again. When the economy is bad, blame someone other than the powers that be.

Answer 7

seeing as america is "Anti-racist"-or not, he should be fine, it dosnt really matter whether hes black or white.. hopefully

Answer 8

Hopefully we will get a more qualified choice.  Someone who has illustrated better judgment than Obama has.  (ie.  sitting under a racist for 20 years.) The votes he has made.  HIs economic scheme.

Answer 9

I hope so.. I am Canadian.. so really I can't sure for sure (I don't follow the US elections very close).. but I hope so.. I mean (no offense).. but worse than Bush??.. I think not.. I think if Obama does get elected it will open alot of doors for other African Americans.. in the US & also all over the world.
