> I just didn't think the black population was big enough to produce a man with such unusual qualities.

Could you NAME a few of those qualities? Thanks. (BTW, graduating law school doesn't count).

Ability to read speeches prepared by someone else? Hell, Katie Couric can do that. Would you vote for her as president? When he isn't reading, he saying stupid things or generally getting his butt kicked by his opponents.

So, what qualities, EXACTLY, are you referring to?


Besides the fact he is brilliant, he has gone from a community organizer to an US senator..in what? Ten years? A definite indication of his brilliance. In fact, he has become a presidential nominee in half the time it took McCain. At a time when people running for president need to be well off.......he comes from a poor family.....and yet has been able to raise more than any other candidate running for office. He has upended one of the strongest dynasties in Dem history. He's written two books that were very well received well before he became a household name and made him millions. He has captured the imagination of a nation and the world that very badly needs some evidence that there is still hope. He is an extraordinary orator and a strong mediator between the issues and the people they represent. He is the child of a black father and a white mother and has integrated the qualities of both very successfully. He is a quick study, successful and insightful.

And most importantly, he is the best my America has to offer in healing the wounds inflicted by Bush and his cohort upon an unsuspecting nation. In fact, its probably the only chance we have of digging out of the hole you helped create.
