Mndegian Analysis:

The only kinds of Americans that sincerely care about US politics are White and Blacks.
Hispanics only care because they have become the majority. Most political Hispanic stuff doesnt leave state level usually.
Asians don't really care because they tend to have more stuff vested in their family's country of origin or in other asian countries than in the US.

is this correct?

no
I don't have any opinions in regards to race and politics

[justanotherday]

here's a picture of obama (right) with his family. His mother remarried with an Indonesian man.

The fact is blacks and Asians should get along more. We are both minorities. I think Barack Obama is the best man for UNITY. He has Asian, white, and black family members. His brother-in-law is Chinese, and his neices and nephews are part Chinese. His sister is part Indonesian. His mom is white. His dad was a African, and his wife is an African American. Pacific islanders are sub group of Asians. Only group that is missing is Hispanics, but I think Barack is the best man for American UNITY.

I like his plans on certain issues like these:

Source: His campaign website Barackobama.com

Iraq:

Bringing Our Troops Home

Obama will immediately begin to remove our troops from Iraq. He will remove one to two combat brigades each month, and have all of our combat brigades out of Iraq within 16 months. Obama will make it clear that we will not build any permanent bases in Iraq. He will keep some troops in Iraq to protect our embassy and diplomats; if al Qaeda attempts to build a base within Iraq, he will keep troops in Iraq or elsewhere in the region to carry out targeted strikes on al Qaeda.

Press Iraq’s Leaders to Reconcile

The best way to press Iraq’s leaders to take responsibility for their future is to make it clear that we are leaving. As we remove our troops, Obama will engage representatives from all levels of Iraqi society – in and out of government – to seek a new accord on Iraq’s Constitution and governance. The United Nations will play a central role in this convention, which should not adjourn until a new national accord is reached addressing tough questions like federalism and oil revenue-sharing.

Regional Diplomacy

Obama will launch the most aggressive diplomatic effort in recent American history to reach a new compact on the stability of Iraq and the Middle East. This effort will include all of Iraq’s neighbors — including Iran and Syria. This compact will aim to secure Iraq’s borders; keep neighboring countries from meddling inside Iraq; isolate al Qaeda; support reconciliation among Iraq’s sectarian groups; and provide financial support for Iraq’s reconstruction.

Economy:

Provide Middle Class Americans Tax Relief

Obama will cut income taxes by $1,000 for working families to offset the payroll tax they pay.

* Provide a Tax Cut for Working Families: Obama will restore fairness to the tax code and provide 150 million workers the tax relief they need. Obama will create a new "Making Work Pay" tax credit of up to $500 per person, or $1,000 per working family. The "Making Work Pay" tax credit will completely eliminate income taxes for 10 million Americans.
* Simplify Tax Filings for Middle Class Americans: Obama will dramatically simplify tax filings so that millions of Americans will be able to do their taxes in less than five minutes. Obama will ensure that the IRS uses the information it already gets from banks and employers to give taxpayers the option of pre-filled tax forms to verify, sign and return. Experts estimate that the Obama proposal will save Americans up to 200 million total hours of work and aggravation and up to $2 billion in tax preparer fees.

Civil Rights:

Strengthen Civil Rights Enforcement

Obama will reverse the politicization that has occurred in the Bush Administration's Department of Justice. He will put an end to the ideological litmus tests used to fill positions within the Civil Rights Division.
Combat Employment Discrimination

Obama will work to overturn the Supreme Court's recent ruling that curtails racial minorities' and women's ability to challenge pay discrimination. Obama will also pass the Fair Pay Act to ensure that women receive equal pay for equal work.
Expand Hate Crimes Statutes

Obama will strengthen federal hate crimes legislation and reinvigorate enforcement at the Department of Justice's Criminal Section.
End Deceptive Voting Practices

Obama will sign into law his legislation that establishes harsh penalties for those who have engaged in voter fraud and provides voters who have been misinformed with accurate and full information so they can vote.
End Racial Profiling

Obama will ban racial profiling by federal law enforcement agencies and provide federal incentives to state and local police departments to prohibit the practice.
Reduce Crime Recidivism by Providing Ex-Offender Support

Obama will provide job training, substance abuse and mental health counseling to ex-offenders, so that they are successfully re-integrated into society. Obama will also create a prison-to-work incentive program to improve ex-offender employment and job retention rates.
Eliminate Sentencing Disparities

Obama believes the disparity between sentencing crack and powder-based cocaine is wrong and should be completely eliminated.
Expand Use of Drug Courts

Obama will give first-time, non-violent offenders a chance to serve their sentence, where appropriate, in the type of drug rehabilitation programs that have proven to work better than a prison term in changing bad behavior.

There's many more, but I don't have the time to post them all.

No, I've been rooting for Obama even before the Iowa caucus.

Oh good, a di-hard Obama supporter!

I've been rooting for him since his announcement to run for President last year.

[legodermis]

I can't wait for the presidential debates. So can't wait to see how McCain and the Republicans to be crushed.

[punjabtrini]

Obama and Clinton are both embarrassing candidates.

Yawn is absolutely right and s/he should be commended on the objectivity and honest appraisal
of the American presidential process!

It was discovered that John McCain on March 13, 2008, said,

"I didn't really love America until I was deprived of her company."

A man of priviledge and status and he should be applauded for his honest comments!

God Bless America.
