Could Hilary or Obama make good presidents despite gender or race?

Over the past couple of days, we have seen many of the democratic proposals put forward by all candidates; however, the two people everyone seems to focusing on is Obama and Hilary. Can a woman or a black man be good presidents. Most people look beyond this and look to their qualifications to be presidents, but there are some people that are racist and/or racist, and these people do vote, what do you think?

    of course. I highly doubt that Hilary would make a good president, but her being a woman has nothing to do with it. I just don't agree with her, i don't think that she is the right person to be president. She seems very power hungry to me.

    Ombama... iam not sold one way or the other with him. He might be a good president... maybe not... but his ethnicity has nothing to do with that.

    No. Hillary Clinton is not the right woman and Barack Obama is not the right black man.

    One of the main reasons why Hillary is so popular is that the Presidential race has turned into a popularity contest and she had millions of lazy Americans who are too lazy to look at the real issues flocking to her side because of her name and only based on her name despite her being a lazy senator and she accomplished almost nothing during her reign.

    And Barack Obama, a lazy and mediocre politician from Illinois, made one speech that rallied the Democrats and after, he is the next best thing to sliced bread.

    No. Both are too far left for most Americans, but one of them may win because so many voters are so easily fooled. A good president is one who is honest and conservative; Clinton and Obama are neither, which has nothing to do with race or gender.

    Also, people can be racist no matter their skin tone. Al Sharpton is exibit A.

    Hillary, HELL no, to much excess baggage, Obama needs a little more experience.

    I do think that a woman could run the country as could a black man, I would love to see Colin Powell and Condalezza Rice running on the same ticket.

    I'm white, but I would support that ticket.

    Because of their agendas and the beholding to Socialistic views and weak on foreign policy that protects our country and voting for the amnesty bill that failed, despite gender and race, they would make a poor President.

    I don't think race or gender has anything to do with it it's qualifications and experience

    Hells yeah. Haha. I'd say Obama more so, simply because:

    1 - He's my state senator, haha.

    2 - He's a man, and I don't think a woman is up to it yet.

    3 - Raised around Muslims and understands the culture.
