| Re: Obama phenomenon / fashion / hysteria? All American presidents have been white, so it's natural that Obama who is black and is one of the opinion leaders gets a lot of attention. Thanks to his relatively low age he has a young state of mind which enables him to bond with voters in a way that presidency contenders like Juliani can't. His speeches are sincere, down to earth and pretty good.
His experience has been a subject of discussion and he comes up short in comparison to the highly confident Hilary who is more than ready to rule the US.
As for Obamas chances of winning I'd say that they are a bit remote. Although he doesn't tick all the boxes, his skin and most importantly his lack of experience are barriers. Obama still has some proving left to do before he can convince the entire nation that he 100% has what it takes to guide the US in the dark wally of darkness. Because at the end of the day it is 3 times as hard to run a country than what it is to get elected to do so. I can tell you that if he wins presidency and fails the media will be incredibly harsh on him, not to mention all those who have been opposing him. Just look at Bush and what is being said about him. |
