Barack Obama: Popular Possible President
Nov 15, 05:07 PM by Jonathan Howard
According to CNN, Barack Obama is one of the most popular choices for the ’08 election on the Democrats side. So far he’s only said that he may run in 2008, but that seems to be enough for 17% of the registered democrats polled.
I’ve only read a little on Obama myself. Everything I’ve read so far has been good. Not only does he have the charisma to lead, he seemingly has the honesty to back it up.
If you look at his view on various issues, he shows himself to be fairly moderate. I especially like his views on the ethics required of the government, and his seeming unwillingness to back down from that point.
I’m cautiously hopeful, and have asked for his book as a gift for either Christmas or my birthday. If I don’t get it, I’ll buy it and see if I can get a better feel for him. If he is as honest and capable as he appears, it would be a breath of fresh air to our political system.
If, if if…
