My name is Jones Tucker, I am a Black Man from Mississippi, I think Hillary Rodham Clinton should be president.
I think Barack Obama is not experienced enough, and I also feel that Will Smith will make a better Black President than Barack Obama.

"Borak only says what he believes. That made me understand how he could be so fresh." Give me a f***ing break. Borak is a salesman. Not a president

This corrupt government & it's spouse, corporate greed have robbed you of hope and have made you believe that we have no power to change what is wrong and make it right. This is our country. Now faith is the substance of things HOPED for, the evidence of things not seen. GOT HOPE?

Hope. He is using the non-devisive sales tactic used successfully by Clinton and JFK. Hope doesn't really mean anything, its just a buzzword.

Oh,..I think what Americans want in this election is NOT a Black President but an American President. And even if you wanted specifically a Black President, I don't think you really believe that Hillary is better suited for the job.

Erin Go Bragh! ... ( 8 months ago by alyceclover)

Erin Go Bragh! Barack O'bama for President. To make that even better, his dad is a Kenyan native, his step-dad Indonesian giving him a 1/2 sister. Growing up in Hawaii, he knows people from many cultures. Almost tailor made for a diverse nation of hyphenated US citizens of diverse ancestry. Plus I like the work he has done, especially on behalf of homeless Iraqi war vets. Quite smart or wise and has a strong female partner in Michelle.
