Why Barack Obama would be a good President

Still undecided on who should be president? Here's a good choice: Barack Obama! Why do I consider him a good choice for president? Compared to Hillary Clinton, there is very little difference. But what would make Obama a better choice is his uncanny ability to inspire and to bring people together. Why do presidents have a difficult job of getting things done in the White House? It's mostly from opposition and distrust from the other party in Congress. Obama, in my opinion, can bridge the gap between the differences of the Democrats and the Republicans and make them see eye to eye and achieve a goal that would be best for ALL Americans. These are crucial times for America. It is important now, more than ever, to be unified as AMERICANS, and not divided as Democrats and Republicans. If we achieve this, our country can become stronger and overcome any obstacle that is thrust upon us! Hillary Clinton is very qualified to be president, but can she bring people together on common ground to achieve goals and get things done? I don't think so. Just look at her failed attempt at healthcare reform in the 90's when she was First Lady. She had good ideas but wasn't able to make people agree with her.
I heard on the news yesterday that campaigners feel that noone will beat John Mccain. The reason for this is because they fell that if Barack Obama wins the Republican primary, Obamas campaign thinks that the Clinton supporters will be so mad that they will vote for Mccain. This is also vice versa if Clinton wins.

Quoting from above ...."Obama, in my opinion, can bridge the gap between the differences of the Democrats and the Republicans and make them see eye to eye and achieve a goal that would be best for ALL Americans" Ok what is the basis for this? ...the entire democratic party is divided and very un-unified... and you admit the falacy in the end of your blog, you said from no citation and some mispelling ..."I heard on the news yesterday that campaigners feel that noone will beat John Mccain. The reason for this is because they fell that if Barack Obama wins the Republican primary, Obamas campaign thinks that the Clinton supporters will be so mad that they will vote for Mccain. This is also vice versa if Clinton wins."
...ok dude, you just admitted how divided people are and this is only the prelims... you have no basis for believing in his "unifiication" speeches he gives. ...he speaks aobut change all the time... but he never ..ever... goes into detail. bottom line is , I was high on Obama at first to, but I live in a very real world and hype might win you the presidency but it doesn't mean you are qualified... and Barak is not qualified... as old and "un-hip" as McCain is, he's simply the best choice from what there is to go with... he' s had his hands, eyes, and ears in Washington a long time... I have to vote for him. ...and oh yeah, Hillary, well I hate to sound sexist because I can be hated but come on people... a girl in the white house? ..please
