    Mr. Obama never mentioned that he is black. He DID however, say he is American. Isn't that the point? He is a Harvard Law graduate, he was raised in the middle clas with 2 hard working parents., just like most of us...
    Mr. Obama was raised in Hawaii.....people there accept you for your words and deeds, nothing else. His speech is one forethought, not indecisiveness. He does not "belong" to any special interest groups, and is
    not indebted to anyone for his current congressional seat.
    I want a President who will look out for ALL Americans, and not jump into a war, or other situations, without first thinking of the ramifications for the people of the us.
    I will be promoting you, sir, and voting for you! Good luck, we need you!

    People forget that Obama is a Harvard Law graduate, from a middle class family, and has a brain. I applaud his thoughtfulness when responding to questions, which shows forethought in his answers, not just talking off the cuff...a trait people mistake for uncertainty.
    Mr. Obama is a product of Hawaii.....there is an acceptance of people based on merit and deed, not race or gender. We need a person to look after ALL americans, not just certain groups.
    I also think being apart from special interest groups is a plus...no one owns him, and he doesn't owe anyone anything. Good Luck, sir, I will be promoting you, and voting for you!

    Race should not be a central issue of the 2008 election, but an amazing biproduct of an Obama presidency is that every child in America, no matter what their family's background, will be able to believe that they can be president someday. It's time for the American people to put their money where their mouths are in their celebration of diversity and equality.

    Oops, I can't see what I type on Firefox, sorry for the typos! I mean: The article is not about Obama. It's a shameless tactic to choose a provocative title using Obama's name then the article's about 3 Democrats! Get honest! This is why media is so distrusted.

    Seems like these pundits think we're stupid. We can be emotional and still think! It's not what candidates say, it's what they do. Obama not only has a message of real unity, he's practiced it and lived it. And what the heck has the title to do with the article? It's not about Ogama, but the pundits know that's who drraws the most readership.

    Media always talks that Hillary that she will beat republican candidates by this margin. Why they are not talking about Barack Obama. I just would like to know how far he is behind in beating republican candidates.

    I appreciate Barack Obama not attacking others. It shows his mental ability to restrain himself in times of true need.The problem we have had in the bush dynasty is that he attacked every country who didn't agree with him and look at the place we are in now. I am scared to death of Hillary clinton getting in as she will be worse than George Bush.
