Thanks for your coverage of Barack Obama....Mike

One of the things we hear in the UK when talking about the US presidency is that the US as a whole, and particularly middle America, is not ready to vote for a President who is female, coloured or of mixed race, an atheist or homosexual.

What is take on the current situation? Does Obama have a real chance?

I hope so, it would certainly be seen as real step forward.

@writinghome33 He was promising 4 years ago. He's been a massive disappointment for those who believed in him. I never did. He's not a Democrat, he's just a guy with good objectives but all the worst ideas on how to achieve them. Not someone I want in the White House.

@progeny77 When you show me a gay/atheist/ethnic politician that is qualified for the job and has political ideals that fall in line with mine (fat chance of an atheist doing that, if so, Id be very surprised), then I would vote for that politician. Simply electing a black/atheist/gay man to office is not a step forward. He must be as qualified and as much a man of principle as every white/religious/straight president before him. My top priority is running/saving our country, not diversity.

You know...he sounds kinda like The Rock.

A complete change...lets not think about what works...lets just change everything.

Thank You. This is wonderful. I really hope the american people can look past party lines and and really look at the issues. I hope they look at Barack as a promising young candidate, and not just some democrat.
