Before we start talking about anyone running for president in 2008, lets remember this.
No one becomes president without the backing of the Bank Cartel, CFR, and Internattional Business.
(NWO)
If our information access (Media) was following the Journalists Creed and not so forcused on selling out to money, they would remember…for the people by the people.
It is amazing how we have gone from 100’s of media sources to (6) Corporations that control all information in the World and the U.S.
I have sent information to my Senator (OBama) about real issues and researched imformation and i never get any response. Does your Senator respond to you?
Remember: Federal Reserve Act 1913 and IRS Act 1914.

To be a presidential candidate the person must be ENCYCLOPEDIC inteligent so he can be the devils advocate to all of his advisors . then he has to be street smart and derive the proper and logical direction . To find a person intelligent and smart is difficult .  Clinton was both but fallable .  He did not have papal quality . In his owne way Eisenhower was one of the smart president and knew the future .  To this day without relenting the Military Industrial Complex has bled the tax payer .  Under Bush they are extremely succesful .  All we have to do is print money and sell our debt .

We need a complete re-engineering of the entire government: The Oval Office, The Senate and the House. First, take a fireman’s house in the Oval Office to clean out corruption, lies and filth.
The Senate and House need to be Democratic and the same hose needs to be used in the Senate and the House. A new president, senate and house committees should minimize Lobbyists & monetary exchanges.They should also work together, in concert, to serve the American people. We do need a breath of fresh air NOW. We should impeach Busshie for entering into an illegal war & for all of the atrocities in Iraq. He & his administration are the true terrorists.
The new president, be it the Senator from Illinois, or whomever, should focus on the DEFICIT, THE TRADE IMBALANCE, THE POVERTY IN THE USA,HEALTH INSURANCE FOR ALL AMERICANS ( and our represenatives should have the same insurance we do!) Dreams and hopes for a happy America. It will take time, but it can be done.

Obama should run and he should run, experience does count for some things but being very smart should account for something, did our current Bushie have much experience on anything?  After all Abama already knows about foreign countries since his father comes from Africa.  The man is very logical and also humble.  He would make a great president, all people have to get over is his age and for some people being biracial.
