Any world leader's decisions can have an affect on the whole world, whether it is foreign policy, environmental issues, economy. Do you have an opinion about who you would like to become the next American president?

Aye me - but a hivnae any chance of getting in - only the rich can be presidential candidates. If I was to choose then it would be a democrat. The Black guy would be nice - so would the first Woman - you democrats are spoiled for choice. Stopping The Wars and the embargo of Cuba - would be my first priorities.
Must be nice living in a Republic

I'm not that big on politics Bobbie but I'd like to see Obama as the next president. He is an amazing orator and if his policies live up to his speeches then I think the whole world will be happy. He's still to win the nomination though and of course the next election. Actually the election may be harder to win than the nomination.

What's your thoughts?

Go Obama! (january 20, 2009, end of an error)

I first saw Obama before the attack on Iraq. I'd never seen him before and was very impressed with his stance. He is scaring the republicans, so much so that they think McCain won't have a chance of winning against him. Rush Limbaugh has actually called for republicans (in states that allow this) to vote for Hillary in the democratic primaries (instead of voting in their own republican primaries) because they think McCain has a better chance of winning against her than Obama. I think that also.

I would love to see a woman president, but not sure Hillary is the right one.

I'd love to see Obama win, Bobbie. It would show the world that minority voices have a chance of being heard, even in Richard Nixon's old house.

I think that would be a bigger victory for democracy than any dubious war fought in its name. I'm with Malky, though, - I think when push comes to shove it'll be "better the devil you know...".

Hillary is your man !

Looks like Obama won the Wyoming primary.

The thing about this election is, it has fired up people more than any election I can remember. People who have never been particularly interested are now excited and getting fired up.

Whatever the results, I hope America can gain some of its respect back. I don't think that will happen with McCain, and might be slow happening with Clinton.

no...

but who would take anything that man says seriously, when he makes a mockery out of our system?

I would love to see a woman president some day, but if it is between McCain and Hillary, I will have a serious look at who the independent is who will be running. I would love to see Obama in, not as a black man, but as a man, and my president.

are we talking about republicans or democrats?

Anyway,

I think voting for McCain would be the same as voting for the present administration.

You asked about Rush... republicans in droves went out and voted in the democratic primaries to try to get the wrong person in there. They voted for Clinton because they think McCain has the best chance of beating her. It would serve them right if she was made the democratic nominee because of the votes of the republicans, and then won the election in November.

Wouldn't that be ironic if Hillary Clinton became president because of the republicans voting for her lol

He has certainly captured the imagination and there seems to be real interest in US politics now. I think any step away from the "old guard" will be a good thing no matter any lack of experience.
