I listen to his open ended speeches and am left with too many questions...He dwelves into every scenario and problems which every low and middle class American faces today.  He talks about the hardships but NO SOLUTIONS to any of his statements.  I've read a lot of articles on him and I have listened to his speeches BUT I still am unable to connect the dots here.  There is no solution but one thing that surely is there is the voice in unison asking for change.  Change what?  Rather, Change but how should be asked!  This is the main factor that has been unable to sway me in his favor.

Though the guy does have charisma and public speaking eloquence, with all the promises he's making, I'd say that he'd end up being a one-term President as there is no way on earth he'd be able to do what he's seeking.  The main points: He wouldn't be able to start any progress on the withdrawl from Iraq within the first 2 years he's in office (the stakes are ginormous as TOO much has been invested already to come out with a losing proposition and whats more, he'd need congress approval which I doubt he'd be able to garner).  The economy will be in its business cycle downtrend as the Wall Street binge-party that lasted artificially for years has finally brought about its hang-over (sub-prime, the upcoming derivatives market crash as per many articles circulating all around: Soc Gen, Barings are all examples, the US Treasury's downgrading by reknowned Credit Raters which will tighten the already tight credit crunch, etc.), this slowdown will cause a major problem in his tenure.  Next, the USD is still going to hang around its level it currently is in...On a more interesting note, if history repeated itself, the tension with Iran would bring about a weaker $ than we have today (USD has lost 60%+ of its value against EUR and GBP ever since the War in Iraq's talks first started around mid 2002).  Can the US afford a weaker $ anymore??  No way!!  I'd say that if Iran does indeed start its nuclear program and the US finds out, there is no way Obama would turn a blind eye..And given Iran's history, they ain't gonna stop.  All in all, the 2008 Presidency is exactly what ANY hopeful candidate should avoid.  Mark these words: The incumbant will lose the 2012 elections for drowning the economy in more debt, bringing about double digit inflation due to a more weaker $, rampant unemployment (equals rise in crime and population) and ultimately making us all reside in a weaker and poorer US of A.

If conspiriacy theories are to hold, being a black man, he'd go down in history as being the lone scape-goat to the 4 years of hell the US economy is going to go through (thanks to the Bush administration raping us all dry for the past 8 years). And that will be the end of any Non-White who will ever be elected for office. BTW, after his term the economy is bound to rise up the business cycle (as it cannot last forever) and when the white man takes over, the sweet ride of plenty will be blamed on his ingenuity!! The Senior Bush and Clinton's first term comes into mind here where the rise in the economy due to fiscal spending brought about by the Bush Administration during Desert Storm lagged to benefit the Clinton years...Clinton became the unassumed or unworthy hero and was heralded an economic genius with Greenspan. C'mon, peeps needs to read behind the whole fiscal policy (including monetary swayed by the war propaganda) that took place during the Desert Storm era.

With all that said, whosoever wins the Democratic front, the fuggin Republicans will win in the end...They've made no promises to the public and it seems they still wanna keep raping us all. So much for having either a woman or a black man as they both could amount to being only a one-term player!!

Yes, we can...More likely it should be: Yes, we got Punk'd!!
