DWTL, Barack Obama probably wouldn't be considered for the Presidency of the United States if he was a member of the Black Panthers or if he was similar to Jesse Jackson. Though saying this, if a former member of the Black Panthers can be elected to the United States Congress then a vast majority of the American people do not have a problem with them, then YES he would still be considered for the Presidency of the United States, even if he is black.
Unlike past African-American candidates for the Presidency (e.g. Shirley Chisholm, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton), Obama is connecting with the voters. Did either Chisholm, Jackson or Sharpton perform well in states with more than 95% of the voters being Caucasian, like Iowa? If Obama can indeed win in such places, like Iowa he is considered for the Presidency of the United States.
