[LH] Barack Obama

[OrionVeteran]

Future will tell if this becomes a "would be" leader...

Would be leader? This inexperienced isolationist candidate is not a leader, much less a world leader. There is not a chance in a million, that Obama would visit Iraq and discuss the progress that has been made, as he would have to explain to our new allies why he would raise the white flag of surrender and retreat in less than 60 days. He would go back to criminalizing terrorist actions after they have carried out their evil plots, instead of stoping them before people get killed. Even Dan Quale is not this stupid!

This man also sympathizes with the "hate America first" crowd. He would eliminate the tax cuts that help millions of ordinary Americans and bankrupt our system with socialized medicine. He would let convicted criminals go free, while condeming the unborn, who have not been convicted of any crime. Simply put, his platform of change is not the kind of change America needs.

I Believe Barack Obama should replace Dan Quale as the worst leader on Civ4's end of game leadership qualities scale.

On a positive note: The author has done a nice job with the graphics.

Great job, good likeness to the real Obama!

 

[cybrxkhan]

this is one of the greatest LHs ever made on civ, even if i don't support Obama.

Why did you use the White house background he not going to win but still great LH but i'm afraid if I declare war on him in the game he might get his pastor on me or worst not anwser my questions

Try watching Wright's sermon in context where he said "God Damn America," rather than taking a snipped quote out of context like the those pundits over at Fox News want you to think.

Hmmm... "God Damn America" in any context is pretty hard to support in any way shape or form, from any context when your running for the Presidency of the United States. Probably pretty popular with Europeans to damn America, but here in America, it's not a popular catch-phrase.

The overtly racist implications and statements Wright makes are also hard to take out of context... I'm sure if George Bush was good friends with the Grand Master of the Ku Klux Klan it wouldn't go over very well with folks, even if GW said he was just his "spiritual" leader, not his philisophical one.

It's also not "mathmatically impossible" for Hillary to win the nomination... the way the votes split, it's unlikely, but not impossible... and frankly, if the voting public isn't fond of recent developments, it wouldn't be the first time a front-runner lost the nomination. The Super Delegates are more likely to nominate someone able to win the General Election, and people defending people who "damn America" and are clearly racist might not go over well in November. What is mathmatically impossible is for Obama to get enough delegates to win the nomination before the convention in August.

As for speeches like the one Obama recently put out... it's called "damage control". I'm sure his speech writers were up all night coming up with that one... lots of people put out pretty speeches... funny that people cherry pick which politicians and which speeches they believe as factual and which are nothing more then what they want you to believe... or does everyone believe every single speech of GW is true too?

Oh... and for the record, that news report was from ABC News, not Fox... hardly a bastion of conservative news reporting.

Nice! You should take DKs advice though, and add some shaders to sharpen him up.

 

[Equuleus]

Can you make a Mike Gravel one? =P

We ask for a Ronald Reagan leaderhead, and we get an Obama...

Still, excellent likeness. Although I don't agree with the man politically I think you have done a pretty good job with the art.

 

[Wolfshanze]

We ask for a Ronald Reagan leaderhead, and we get an Obama...

Heck, we didn't even get a president!

It is a good likeness though. Good quality.

 

[OzzyKP]

Awesome leaderhead.

Obama leaderhead.

President Obama.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

This reminds me of a joke I read somewhere about Chelsea Clinton interviewing a serviceman in Iraq. She asked him if there was anything that made him fear for America, and he said, "Yes, three main things... Osama, Obama, and Yo' Momma."

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Stop pussyfootin' around, and tell us how you really feel...

Let me add some shaders on this guy...

It will look 10X sharper, trust me. Great job GS.

DK plz tell me how to do this!! you had a tut that you never wrote at CU!
Let me do this one so i know how!!!

 

[GarretSidzaka]

@everyone
Thanks for comments!!

seems we have a political debate brewing in yet another of my leaderhead threads...

Its annoying to write tutorials so I'd rather just add them for everyone.

Check back tomorrow afternoon, having some weird issues with the pipeline.

 

[Ball Lightning]

Well done, is there a billary one?? or mccain?

 

[Wolfshanze]

Maybe it was the choice of model (who isn't even president).

At least it's not a Dutch King thread... it would be well out-of-hand by now if it was!

Regardless of how one feels about Barack Hussein Obama, the model quality for Civ4 is quite good and it's a very good likeness.

 

[Gaius Octavius]

I would love to see a Clinton leaderhead! I even have a special diplomacy greeting for him...

"Greetings! Despite what the vast right-wing conspiracy may tell you, I did not... have... closer relations with Catherine!"

Catherine kept the stained dress!

Oh boy, we're in for an interesting 8 months.
At least things will calm down for probably the next 8 years after that.
