Obama is "The Tiger Woods of Presidential Candidates"....He is so much more talented than most of his competitors...He has the X-factor and charisma that allows him to connect with people of all backgrounds...He has the momentum and is on track to get the Democratic nomination...Most of the Analysts say the GOP is more worried about running against Obama than running against Hillary...Some very smart folks like Warren Buffet and Oprah are behind Obama. Of course Barack Obama needs security and it makes sense to be careful...Yet, most American citizens would welcome a President Obama...;-)

OBAMA IS AT A GREATER RISK THAN ANY OTHER PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE BECAUSE 1) HE HAS THE WRONG SKIN COLOUR; 2) HE HAS THE WRONG KIND OF NAME; HIS NAME SMACKS OF FAR AWAY PLACES WITH STRANGE SOUNDS AND SMELLS. Americans always appreciate the insights of Canadians although its really unnecessary to do so in caps. However, its important for you to keep in mind one thing........you are Canadian, not an American. Therefore, you can only speculate where Americans are vis a vis Barack Obama. He may be a person of color and he may have a strange sounding name.....more so for Canadians than Americans.........but, nonetheless, he is still American and very popular! Whether that will be enough to get him elected, time will tell. Have a good one!
