zoe says Jun 05, 2008 12:38PM Obama was good choice till he started mellowing on the foreign polices...bottom line what can he do for US (the rest of the world)???
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 12:49PM haha then she would give everyone free houses.. but seriously what are you thoughts on Obama...
zoe says Jun 05, 2008 12:52PM voiced mine already... saddens me the route he is now taking on his foreign policies
BlackTieMedia says Jun 05, 2008 12:53PM Anyone catch his talk at AIPAC last night? His foreign policy didn't seem too bad to me...
zoe says Jun 05, 2008 12:55PM relatively from the original way he approached foreign affairs he has changed...i'm not directly saying its bad
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 12:56PM well i think his speech sounded more dangerous than what bush would have said... so lets see if he gets into office what happens
BlackTieMedia says Jun 05, 2008 12:59PM Yeah you have to look at the options they have... it's Mccain who is ultimately a bush clone or obama...
ismail thinks Jun 05, 2008 12:59PM he may seem better then bush right now... but time will tell. I am happy that an African American made it that far... it shows progress...
ismail Jun 05, 2008 01:00PM hopes that its better for the world though.. the american economy is in tatters right now... causing the world economy to go south...
zoe says Jun 05, 2008 01:01PM honestly Clinton has not officially stepped down so we all have to wait for the major delegates to decide finally then we will c wat happens
BlackTieMedia says Jun 05, 2008 01:03PM Well, her aides have anounced that she will step down friday and support Obama
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 01:03PM mandydewaal: we cant make that judgement right now... not until he gets into office and we see what his actions are.
zoe says Jun 05, 2008 01:03PM i think she will have to step down but as Carter said Obama can not have her as his running mate
BlackTieMedia says Jun 05, 2008 01:05PM It would show too much conflict of interest and double standards if he does
ismail shares Jun 05, 2008 01:07PM punkkahax: yeah i am neither but the pres of USA kinda affects the whole world with their political clout...
zoe says Jun 05, 2008 01:08PM very much but it was suggested that is why i guess carter addressed the issue
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 01:28PM i think the US elections seriously lacks good candidates you have to choose which is the least suckiest...
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 01:32PM prakesha: well in the last few elections i havent personally though there were any... as i said i think Oprah would be the best candidate!
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 01:54PM lol@NADER.... yeah maybe an independent candidate would be best... but the day that happens!
nicharry Jun 05, 2008 01:55PM Obama is best choice hands down over Oprah (i've got a theory on her), McCain or Clinton. Obama is easily the best candidate. Yes We Can
nicharry Jun 05, 2008 02:00PM ye...I think she's not as transparent as we might think. Too much money, too much power. Absolute power corrupts... it's dodgy methinks.
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 02:03PM so it shouldnt matter on who has the most $, or does the best campaign...
nicharry Jun 05, 2008 02:03PM ismail it shouldn't b, but imagine if 40mill South africans ran for president...
ismail has Jun 05, 2008 02:06PM to agree with prakesha, its a waste of $$$ though.. how do you change the status quote? Can an election campaign be run WITHOUT campaigns?
ismail thinks Jun 05, 2008 02:07PM so.. if you use technology, social media, internet and broadcast media
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 02:10PM he did use tech agreed but not entirely... there were still lots of requirements for funds. Also remember this is not even for elections
ismail says Jun 05, 2008 02:11PM its just who is the nominee... they should do it ANC style... have a big meeting and then vote simple
