Is Barack Obama ready to lead? |
||
 |
I believe in him and know he can do the job. We need to give him a chance to lead. |
Julia Martin Director of Activities and Advocate for Elderly Jamaica Plain |
 |
The better question is: Is America ready to work with Obama? There’s never been a president more intelligent than Barack Obama. | Ricky Scott Sales Dorchester |
 |
I think the question is misleading. It’s more whether … America [is] ready for him than he for them. | Ayanna Parris Community Organizer Dorchester |
 |
Of course! He’s ready. We need a change! | Elsa Rocha Model Milton |
 |
I believe he is ready to lead. He is young, gifted and ready to make a change. That is what this world needs — someone who is ready to try new things. Not the same old things. | Laura Worrell Administrative Assistant Jamaica Plain |
 |
I think he’s more than ready. Why are we questioning his ability to lead? Is it because he’s young, gifted and black? In his quest to become president of the United States, he fully appreciates the responsibilities — and possesses the skills necessary to effectively execute the responsibilities — of that office. | Mildred Hailey Executive Director, Tenant Management Corporation Bromley Heath |
