The fact that your faith has more followers doesn't make it any more believable.

Nah, but it definitely makes it more credible, right?

Because he is the whitest black guy the party could find.

Barack Hussein Obama..........
 
Barack Hussein Obama is nothing more than a media-created flash-in-the-pan. He's in his frst US Senate term and has written a book, that's all.

I fall on the floor laughing when I picture Barack Hussein Obama as our Commander In Chief. What is Barack Hussein Obama's defense and national security experience? What would Barack Hussein Obama's reaction be to an attack on the US? Would Barack Hussein Obama have the b*lls to launch a nuclear attack, or would Barack Hussein Obama wet his pants and run crying to the United Nations. The man has "surrender" written all over him.

Maybe the perfect Dem ticket in 2008 would be Hillary Rodham Clinton - Barack Hussein Obama. That way Rudy Giuliani can wipe up the floor with the both of them.

Eh, he's just forming an exploratory committee. It's only quasi-official. He has said he will make an official decision on a run for the Presidency no later than Feb. 10. In the meantime, his announcement today probably pre-empted Hillary from announcing today (she cancelled a scheduled press conference that was supposed to be held this afternoon).

Guess that's true. Reuters maybe got just a bit carried away in its copy.

"Jan 16, 2007 — WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois jumped into the 2008 White House race on Tuesday, promising to "change our politics" with a campaign that could make him the first black president in U.S. history.

On the other hand, my guess is that the exploratory committee will end up with his becoming a bonified candidate.

I still think it might be better for him to wait a term or two.

Looks like the smearing campaign using bigotry against Obama has begun. Sickening that somebody would use a religious believe of others to say that one should not vote for him:
