Question

Is obama a media prop? never heard of him before '08?

Answer 1

I never heard of him ether and I live in his home state. He seemed to come out of nowhere. Outer space or something.  I wish he would leave.

Answer 2

You never heard of him before 08?  Just because you don't pay attention doesn't mean he's a prop.

Answer 3

I was in college as a student reporter during the 2004 elections, and his name was everywhere for the 2008 election.  

He has been the hope of the Dems for a while. They've been planning this campaign for some time.  These people don't just "pop" up.  

Answer 4

He first caught my attention at the last Democratic Convention, he was the keynote speaker and gave a fantastic speech.

Answer 5

For people who just follow mainstream media politics and rely on others for information instead of seeking it themselves Obama will be relatively new. Do some research and be a critical skeptic, don't listen to anti-biased right winged fanatical groups who don't want anything in the white house instead of a republican; Do your own research and vote for what you think is right for our countries direction. If its McCain or Obama just come to that conclusion because you think its right for America and our future. Good Luck
