Quoted from vissario:
Quoted from Adam: I love Obama and I wish I was American solely so I could vote for him.
In my opinion, most politicians are full of air and basically the same. At least this one has the ability to know what life is like for the average person.
He wasn't always rich. He tried drugs. He played basketball.
I like him because he's a real person. And until I see other politicians that actually "make a difference", I am going to vote for the one that seems sincere, laid back, and friendly.
Also his views (guns are bad, queers are ok) align well with mine.
[ignorant masses]
Quoted from drahnier: You realize he has people letting him know what his opinions need to be in order to manipulate the masses, just like all he others, right?
Refer to the above message
Also, I am going to enjoy watching any of his rival contenders who tear this man up made into racists for doing so. Holy shit, Obama has this campaign in the bag!
Instead of just calling me ignorant, please argue the specifics. It could be easy to say that because someone has played basketball and smoke pot it doesn't make them President material.
Anyway, I have not seen many politicians in any country do much except further their own interests and make lots of empty promises that they don't keep.
How is it ignorant to cheer on the guy that, while articulate, intelligent and confident, is an "average guy" who understands how the average person lives/thinks?
How is it ignorant to not want another 50 year old white republican?
Additionally, how is it ignorant to want someone who is actually charismatic and good at public speaking? Perhaps he can repair some of the horrendous damage your current president has done in tarnishing the image of USA across the world.
You can say that he is lucky to be young and black because he can represent change. I hate to say it, but being young and black is an advantage. There are many youth, and many African Americans, who feel like they have been shut out of politics. Obama can bring everyone together.

Definitely. But he does it with a lot more charm and sincerity.
