I think now is the time the US NEEDS a black leader. And having one with a name like Obama, wherever it's origins, shows the world that the US aren't prejudiced. From a world politics perspective, it would be a fantastic move by Americans. They need a female in there right away too. Women make great leaders, too. I wouldn't even mind Hillary that much. I hate to say it, but it's time for the old white men to get out of US office, whether they're the best candidate or not. The US, and it's very precarious situation on the world stage need to show the world that it's not all about the rich white man. Sorry if that sounds bad, but it's true. Heck, if Canada had a decent prospect they should think about it too. It does have to be the right person though, in either case.
