I think that we should not look at Barack Obama as a president for black people, but a president for American people. The problem with our country is that for the last decade we've never had a president that's dedicated to serving the country as a whole. Clinton's focus was on helping minorities get jobs and welfare,while Bush's presidency is about taking oil from other countries, and enforcing state governors to make Native Americans pay taxes for there land. I think that Obama would be a unique candidate that can bring balance to our country.

Obama may not be as black as Jesse Jackson, but he is a lot more intelligent.
Obama believes in war, but he thinks that it should be done for freedom, and not financial gain. He quoted in last months debate, " It may take time, but we need to be thinking about how we are going to get our troops back home". He has the right focus, that is to get our military out of Iraq and on the right track.

Another thing that amazed me about the debate was how Hilary Clinton supported Baracks comments. I think they would make a good team if Barack was president and Hilary was Vice President, or vice versa. We need a party that will clean up the military mess, and improve health care for woman and lower class working citizens; mainly construction workers and laborers. I give much credit and respect to Senator Barack Obama for standing firm in his journey towards making the United States a better home.
