Can Barak Obama become the next U.S. president?

I hope Barack Obama becomes president some day, and I'm pretty sure he will.  But he doesn't have enough experience to run in 2008.  By then he will only have had 4 years at the national level.  But I do hope he becomes president in 2012, 2016, 2020, or whenever.  He's still young, he has plenty of time.

I think that it is possible it can happen just like I think it is possible that one day a female will be president but I don't think it's on the table soon.  It will take a major shift in the current mind-state of Americans to put in either a female or an atheist in the top spot.

Yes, he's fixing the election so that I can run.  Even though I have no prior political experience, and I'm only 25.  Osama bin Laden is going to be my running mate.

#1 -Barak Obama - intelligent, honest, from outside the current beltway culture of corruption & incompetence\n\n#2 - John Edwards - at least he's from outside the current beltway culture of corruption & incompetence & certainly honest & intelligent enough

Although he may allegedly be qualified, the real question is wether or not he's capable.\n\nIf he does what he did in NY there is no chance of it.

Won't take long at all.  In fact prior to 9-11 not many Repubs liked him anyway.  Not many New Yorkers liked him before 9-11.

I dont think so, but he eventually became chief justice of the supreme court...he never really wanted to be president, however his bid for election for a second term was disrupted by his predecessor and the bull-moose party

Go to his web site and sign up for his newsletter. If he decides to run, an email will go out to everyone on his mailing list, asking for help with the campaign. Even if Obama doesn't decide to run for president, your interest in politics and the way a campaign works are admirable pursuits, and you should seek out another candidate locally who shares your ethics, viewpoints, and goals, and volunteer to assist that person in whatever way possible. Everyone in politics starts somewhere, and, unless your family has an established foothold, it's likely you will have to start at the local level. It may sound like small potatoes compared to a national campaign, but, other than the absence of media coverage, the basics are the same, and it's as good a place as any to get your feet wet. Good luck.\n\nbtw, I like and respect Sen. Obama, and am certain that, even if he chooses not to run for president this time around, he will be a front runner in many other capacities. He has the sort of dignity that is sorely lacking elsewhere these days.

Probably. He is a great leader and he is known to win a whole lot, even under impossible odds.

I would say its most likely to happen within the next decade or the decade following it.  I base this solely on the fact that there is not an African American candidate running for either party with a chance to win in the last election of this decade, the 2008 election (As Obama would be the African American candidate that is expected to make a bid at it, and his age and experience would contribute to a likely loss)

Yes he can.. Andrew Johnson was elected to the Senate after his term was over, and John Quincy Adams served in the House of Representatives. Usually however they don't.. if they serve 2 terms they usually retire and we pay for them to live in the lap of luxury the rest of their life :)

The next Democrat President, when ever that will be.

I think Rudy Guilliani should be our next President.  He`s  a moderate respected leader who is very electible.  Unlike Hillary or Kerry, Rudy would have the ability to be attractive to democrat as well as republican voters.  Hillary is too polorizing and Kerry`s a joke.  The democrats should forget Hillary and run Obama.  A choice between Guilliani and Obama has the potential to be an election between two very exciting and worthy opponents!

I think that Obama is very smart, atractive and has caused enough of a stir to make him a viable candidate. He might have a tough time getting the nomination against Hillary Clinton due to her money raising ability.  I also like Joe Biden the senior senator from Deleware. He has a vast experience in foreign relations which is something we need at this time.

George Bush will be the next president there

Yes it is possible. If no one gets the required electorial votes to win president but does have "the most" they could still lose the election once it enters the House of Representatives. This is very unlikely in our two party system but if we had a strong third party it is very possible.

Anyone who is an American citizen, and was born in the US, can theoretically be president.\n\nIt'll be a long time before the US is ready to have a minority president.  Maybe not until the minority isn't the minority.
