Clearly, the job of the next President is to rebuild the American Dream and restore America's standing in the world.


Everything I learned in my eight years as President and in the work I've done since, in America and across the globe, has convinced me that Barack Obama is the man for this job.


He has a remarkable ability to inspire people, to raise our hopes and rally us to high purpose. He has the intelligence and curiosity every successful President needs. His policies on the economy, taxes, health care and energy are far superior to the Republican alternatives. He has shown a clear grasp of our foreign policy and national security challenges, and a firm commitment to repair our badly strained military. His family heritage and life experiences have given him a unique capacity to lead our increasingly diverse nation and to restore our leadership in an ever more interdependent world. The long, hard primary tested and strengthened him. And in his first presidential decision, the selection of a running mate, he hit it out of the park.


With Joe Biden's experience and wisdom, supporting Barack Obama's proven understanding, insight, and good instincts, America will have the national security leadership we need.


Barack Obama is ready to lead America and restore American leadership in the world. Ready to preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States. Barack Obama is ready to be President of the United States.

History has shown that presidents don't ask their VP's anything...or even involve them in their inner circle. Cheney has been an exception...but that's because Bush is incapable of running the country himself.

I am sure that Barack Obama is an intelligent man, and capable to lead America...I just don't think the black community in this country is ready for a black president.

This is no contest.

Obama knowing he's weak on foreign policy made use of good judgement when picked Biden who was an excellent fit.

McCain totally displayed horrid judgement with his choice of Palin who was damaged goods with little experience.

Have you asked them? The black community is part of the entire community of the United States and no Community has any stock greater than the rest on who should be President. The polls like to break down the groups in as many demographics as possible, and so based on this I will make the following statement.

The black community is like any other, they have the ability to decide independently as do the Jewish, Russian, Asian, Native American, Chinese, German, African , Latino and Hispanic, and all other groups that comprise the litany of American citizens who will support, cast a Vote and hire the next President.

We will know the citizens are ready when the votes cast are counted. Until then we rely on the objectivity and math of the pollsters, as a gauge of the sentiment, of the Nation. E pluribus Unum.

Ummm, no. Barack Obama is. Condolezza's not even in the picture...where you been?

[rubytue]

I saw this somewhere else, but I totally agree with it...

Obama picked a VP who would improve his presidency, McCain picked a VP who would improve his candidacy.

[nick is rulz]

for the Biden pick I was like "meh"
for the Palin pick I was like "lol"
