Rewind 4 years ago and take a look at what Guppies had to say about Barack Obama…
So how many of you saw Barack Obama’s speech today…A young state senator from Illinois… ……honestly, i had never heard of his name before but he was the keynote speaker for today. That took my attention. And now i have to say that this was the best speech so far…yep even better than bill clinton…The guy was simply awesome. he was simple yet articulate, brief yet convincing and just like Clinton he was able to connect with people…I really loved the way he started his speech…I predict that this guy has a great potential to be USA president one day. Here is a link to his brief profile. –phoenixdesi 7/27/2004
who is this Obama* dude? he’s just a “Senate candidate”, sounds a bit fishy to me, meri badDua se he’s gona lose his election * –Irem 9/28/2004
I think Barack Obama* will definitely be the Democratic ticket.* –Deewaanagi 11/03/2004
*Obama for Prez?? LOL…White America aint ready for a brother in the WhiteHouse. Those poor souls could not even vote like until 30 yrs ago. Maybe in the future when the pop. composition of american is evenly split between whites and non-whites, then perhaps we can have a colored prez. * –lussi 11/03/2004
I just can’t wait until Obama* becomes a veteran and has more power in the Senate. Have to think in terms of the future now.* -Sahar02 11/03/2004
*I’m all for something new…some kinda change. I’m all for **Obama ***running for presidential candidate…and im looking forward to seeing what he has up his sleeve. -AnGel EyEs 12/02/2006
I hope he runs. It’s not like he’ll have much less experience in government than when Dubya started, and you never know when your last chance is going to come. -Talha 12/02/2006

I knew Obama was a deal back then when I heard him first spoke at the DEM convention. His journey reminds everyone why America is a great nation, and how this great nation writes history for herself.
Anyway, when I am right, I am right, when I am wrong, I am wrong. Here are a few more gems circa 2007 about how impossible it is for Obama to get any where in a “racist” America.
Obama knows he has no chance to win. He wants a higher profile in his party. If he has a pretty decent run, maybe he would be given some bigger role in the next govt..assuming democrats win.
Its a powerplay nothing else. I like Obama, but he has got to be kidding himself if he thinks America is ready to vote him in the office. He is a smart person, and showing that public likes him and trusts him, he is going to position himself to be the a future sec of state or something.
Obama, as charismatic as he may appear, has serious experience issues. Plus his muslim background will be hugely played up by his opponents and will be a big draw-back for middle-America. He will most likely just be a Vice President candidate under Hillary’s ticket. Seminole said on Jan 31, 2007
Billary will chew up the rookie Obama and spit him out.
I was pleasantly proven wrong by the positive, smart, organized, focused and disciplined campaign run by Obama. It was brilliant, if he runs the country 1/2 as good, he will be a very successful president.
I expected the Rovian politics of destruction and division that had been so successful for the past 8 years to continue. Thank God it didn't work this time.
Obama represents the America of the future - diverse, tolerant and worldly. I think the electoral map is changed forever, the GOP is not going to be able to use their culturally divisive tactics anymore - that base is shrinking.
Obama is pragmatic, moderate, intelligent, thoughtful, nonbelligerant, intellectually curious, focused and inclusive - admirable traits that have been missing from the Oval office. I'm excited for our future again.
