“I first met Barack
Obama at the Bud Biliken
Parade. He was shaking
people’s hands. I think
he’ll make a good
president because he does
what he says he’s going to do. I’ll vote for
him if he runs. He’s a nice looking young man.
I do believe that this country is ready for a
black president. Hillary Clinton would be cool
as a running mate.”

“I believe Obama
should run for
President as a
Democrat as well as
for the Black
community to see
what he is capabale of. Maybe the country isn’t
ready for a Black President but what the heck –
give it a try. I don’t think
Hillary Clinton should be
his running mate, however.”

“I feel that Bush is
crazy, because he’s got all
these men going over to
Iraq fighting for a war that we are not profiting
from, as in oil. We are not profiting from the
oil because gas is still too high - $2.58! Come
on, please! People say that they’ll go to
Indiana. You go all the way to Indiana. You
are going to ride your gas out coming back to
the city, That’s crazy! Bush needs to leave
the war alone. How would Bush feel if
someone was to take him and lock him up?”

“My outlook on
Obama being President is
that I think that he would
be a good President.
However, I prefer that
Hillary Clinton be
President do to the fact
that she’s a women and I think we need the
type of sensitivity a woman can bring to
office, because I believe that a women is
smarter than a man. That’s just my outlook
on things. I think that having a woman in
power would make it better for everyone else,
because we (women) have good outreach for
family, children, single mothers - mothers
periods. I don’t think
women are more sensitive
than men [in general]. But
we can be more sensitive
to the needs of the people.”

“He or Hillary can run, it doesn’t make a
difference. They’re both good candidates.
What are they going to do differently that
Bush hasn’t already tried? First he said he
was going to pull the troops out then he said
he’ll let them stay…What Bush needs to do
is mind his own business
and take care of things
going on over here. He
has money for the war
but not for the poor and
the rich are steadily
getting richer.

“I don’t think that he’ll make it. It’s too
early. Maybe he can make it in the next
election (2012). He’s the best black candidate.
If he ran I would vote for him. I
don’t know if Hillary Clinton
would make a good running
mate, however.”
