I never felt that it was Obama's time for the presidency, not 4 years after the same electorate re-elected Bush and Cheney. However, I certainly would have voted for him and worked for him if he was the candidate.
Obama does too many things that are just plain stupid and no matter what anyone wants to say, overcoming the racial barrier is not easy. It will take a candidate a lot smarter than Barack Obama, the man who voted to confirm Condoleezza Rice and the guy who would not filibuster the Alito nomination. All you hear from this guy is his decision not to go into Iraq (just like Giuliani's 9/11 mantra), for which he had no vote nor any responsibility. If he was so opposed to Iraq and didn't trust Bush and his stooges, why did he support one of the biggest stooges in the administration in Rice.
But now he is taking it to another level.
In a rally in Iowa where all the Democratic candidates were present, Obama was the only one who did not put his hand on his heart during the "Star Spangled Banner." How stupid can you be that with a middle name of Hussein and the Republican attack machine salivating at the chance to go after him, could he leave himself that open. Good morning Barack, you are in America, not Utopia.
