    Default Obama admits not experienced enough to be president

    he admits he is not experienced enough. though 2004, he made it clear that if he was going to try for the presidency in 2008, he would have to start campaigning now (2004) and that is not the kind of person he is...well, i guess he threw those words under the bus

    That's my biggest, and most legit, problem with Obama. He simply doesn't have enough experience, IMO. It would be easier to run and show the world what you've accomplished while serving public office that you feel makes you qualified, what you've voted on and what you haven't. While I'm not fond of anyone running (I wanted Thompson), Obama would be my last pick as I don't think he truly knows squat about how to get anything done just yet.

    I concur. He's had little experience even at the state level. He may well be very smart, but has just gone the most expedient route regarding running for president. Now lots of libs will vote for, but he has serious flip flops regarding the hard core.

    At this point in time, I'm assuming in spite of his problems, he's our next CIC. It may not be the best choice, but what messages should be sent.

    For a guy with little experience, he has learned fast

    He flip flops like John Kerry

    He plays the race card like Al Sharpton

    He parses words like Bill Clinton

    and he plays the role of victim like Hillary

    Did I miss anything?

    Considering what we have had for the last twenty or thirty years in office, experience may be detrimental to success. And this last one is like a rock only it breathes.
    A chance for a new beginning, like a dawn of reconciliation.

    Well we did have Pres Peanut for 4 years

    If he get the messiah we will have Pres Peanut's second term

    Unless the messiah gives his kook base more flip flops then we might be spared from this asshole

    Okay, let's see if i understand what you're saying:

    Experience is bad.

    Does that sum it up?
    If we were as industrious to become good as to make ourselves great, we should become really great by being good, and the number of valuable men would be much increased; but it is a grand mistake to think of being great without goodness; and i pronounce it as certain that there was never yet a truly great man that was not at the same time truly virtuous." - Ben Franklin

    And Nixon and Raygun and Bush 1 and Clinton and Bush 2. It is like Kennedy was the last president that worked for this nation instead of worked over the nation.

    That is your wish/idea, not what I think would occur.
