After some recent missteps, Barack Obama attempts to reinvigorate his campaign.

The presidential hopeful took part in MTV's "A Dialogue With Barack Obama" on Monday, speaking to students at Coe College in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

Who would play him in the biopic? Will Smith, said Barack.

They have the same ears!

      i will never vote for anyone that thinks abortion is ok. so far i have not seen one democrat that is prolife. i guess i am definitely voting republican and so far huckabee… haven't decided who yet. please for all you diehard dems if you have to vote for someone who thins it's ok to kill a human being in the womb, hillary is a much better class of it's ok to murder than obama. he won't know what the hell he's doing. at least hill has experience from bill, and if the dms win lets see what a woman pres will do. obama sucks he's too shaky.

      I can not imagine what made him run for president now, it is simply to soon. I think he is a smart, intellligent man with great potential but he just does not have the experience to be president at this time. Was it all just a plan to groom him for Vice Preseident and get him out in the public eye? I believe Hillary will choose him as her running mate, and I think that was the plan all along, and I also believe they will win.

      Re: i hate spics(they stink) – :

      All that is going on in the world and you are worried about "Gay Marraige". I think that it is safe to assume that no Married gay couple is going to blow up a major city any time soon or launh an atomic bomb or really make a difference in your obviously pathetic life. What a complete moron, that is why we elect idiots like George Bush because all idiots thing alike.

      Funny how your not for gay marriage, but you suppost closet Republican's who say one thing do another. Nice Senator Craig,
      and the rest of those pervs, too many to list. You , must be
      proud of the pervs.

      Hilary could teach him so many things. People are forgetting that
      she has already been president and with her lawyer experience and
      New York's Senator..everyone should vote for her. Do any of you remember the $1.20 for a gallon of gas. I just heard from a reliable
      person that oil is going up to $100.00 a barrell and gas is going to the moon..and a recession will follow..get ready people to spend every last penny you have. Nice Republican's in control, they're killing us.

      I'm from Cedar Rapids, Iowa (although I currently go to school elsewhere). He's ALWAYS there! I think he's been there at least four times in the past few months. I ran into him at the YMCA over the summer! I wasn't sure it was him, so I didn't say anything, but I later found out that he was in town giving a speech at a local school. I was pissed that I hadn't realized sooner!

      I do not want a man who smokes as the next president of the US. May sound immature, but I also do not agree with his stance on abortion. I WILL NOT VOTE FOR THIS MAN. Hillary Clinton, '08!

      Obama is an empty shell. Lets get real hear folks, if he looked like John Edwards or Tom Cruise, we would not even be talking about him. He needs to continue to grow as a politician and then maybe run in 2012.

      As for Hillary, what has she done? Nothing!!! She played victim for most of the 90's. Anytime someone tried to debate her on her record (or just point out that she doesn't have one) she would play the poor me card. These mean men are being mean to me. Wah friggin wah. And for her being a successful senator from NY, oh please. First of all, a retarded chimp could have done well as a NY senator after 9/11. Second, she is not from NY. She is a carpet bagger who had people test the waters to see where she could actually get elected. And low and behold, it wasn't any state she had ever lived in.

      Re: new york guy –
      If you had actually bothered to watch this on TV last night before you started making assumptions, you would know that Barack said he has no plans and does not intend to run as Vice President. He flat out said he's running for PRESIDENT of the United States, and he will not be on the ballot as anyone's VP. :]

      Re: maddie – :
      Yea right, he says that now, wait till he looses the nomination, and he will, Hillary has it locked up, I think we all know that. He will be the Vice president no matter what he says now, he will suddenly have a change of heart. Honestly it makes no sence for him to turn it down, he will not get the nomination this time for lack of experience, that will give him the experience he needs to run down the line, it made no sence for him to run now unless he was eyeing the 2nd spot. He can't admit that now, his whole campaign would be a sham if he did, but trust me , he will take the 2nd spot, and really he should!!

      i love him and hope that he wins. his family seems genuine and he will be in support of many diverse issues, including gay marriage. can we please get a different ethnic group in the white house? gay, black, asian, hispanic, woman, something that is all inclusive of the majority of people represented in our communities. hopefully, this will be the first step in correcting our stereotypic media. if you don't believe that our media is dissected propoganda, then try going out of seas and watching their media, you will certainly learn the truth.

      It pays to ask questions. I asked ?'s via My Space and it was answered in detail. I have always been Republican - but really want to hear what EVERYONE has to say - I liked what he replied with and it may make a difference in my vote.

      Obama is just another politician
      He is a panderer
      He is a sell out
      He adopts right wing talking points
      he makes me YAWN

      Hillary 08

    55. say no to obama says – reply to this


      55

      this has nothing to do with RACE…..obama sucks as a politician….like someone else said, he's an empty shell, no experience, everytime he opens his mouth i wait for something intelligent and consistent to come out of it. He is PRAYING that ppl will vote for him JUST BECAUSE of his race b/c ppl are ignorant enough to do that. Do the research…Hillary has a long, successful history of political experience and she is a smart woman, I cannot wait to see her inaugurated as our next and first female president. It's gonna happen.

      56

      BARAK in '08!!!! Barak is a great guy, period, and besides lack of experience (which, hello! Bill didn't have very much experience and he was alright!) he's trying to be a GOOD PERSON which is much more than we can say about Hillary. She doesn't know her butt from her face, and maybe I'm wrong, maybe she did the "right" thing, but I can't respect a woman who was wronged over and over and over again by her husband, and even though she said "I'm no Tammy Wynette", she STAYED, probably because he was president and that gave her some political power. And who the hell gave just two families the right to the White House?!?! Bush senior, Clinton, Bush jr, and Clinton again? What this country needs is somebody completely new, to REVOLUTIONIZE, and to change and to put us in a positive direction for a change. Obama is what we need, and its too bad he might not get the chance!
