Obama: "I'm not a perfect person, and I won't be a perfect President."

[Heisenberg]

Cue the Obama bashers.

Famous last words...

Perfect President? He will never be President!

(Remembering when Bush was asked if he'd made any mistakes in office, and he couldn't think of any.)

Still. Strikes me as a dumb thing to say as a candidate.

I have alot of respect for politicians that are willing to say that they won't be perfect, no one is perfect--and no president will be perfect.

Should only matter to people ignorant enough to believe that there is actually such thing as a perfect person or perfect President.

Exactly. Wouldn't surprise me to see Clinton somehow try to use this quote against him . . . as if she somehow is perfect and will be perfect in office.

I think it's freakin refreshing. Any candidate that tell's you anything else is lying, or just telling you what you want to hear. Nobody is perfect. Statements like this from Obama are one of the main reasons I will probably vote Dem for Pres. if he is the candidate for the first time in my life.

The AntiChrist will be the greatest politician in world history and he still will have a flaw......

back on topic:

He probably thought this would move some people because it's honest but I doubt anyone thought," Ya, know what, he's right.....I'm voting for HIM!! "

[SpringfieldSkins]

I actually think that him talking about himself as president, and candidly at that, speaks volumes about the guy.

The issue is not perfection. The issue is that Obama will not be the President of the United States of America, ever! He is way too far to the left for mainstream America and John McCain is just centrist enough to beat him or Hillary. McCain will win the 08 election by a landlslide, mark it!

Just curious to see what it says to you. To me it says his ego is humungous! I can't believe how many of you think he can be the POTUS. The battle he is going through with Hilary has all but sealed a victory for McCain.

^x2^ I have to agree.......

black guy, white woman or white man.....

it seems like a lock from a racial perspective even before you throw in credentials

I don't see a smiley, are you on the Obama is the anti-christ bandwagon for real?

[ECU-ALUM]

Hey as long as he does more things right than wrong...I'll support him.
