But what do you think???

Answer 1

Obama is the least qualified candidate to ever run as a Democratic or Republican nominee. I cant believe the Dems threw Hillary under the bus for this inexperienced kid.

Answer 2

NOBODY other than a President at the end of his or her first term has ANY experience at being "POTUS", do they? Or did I miss a secret meeting?

You are a very silly goose!

BTW, you missed John McCain's experience as a member of the "Keating 5", Obama has nothing to match that, either!

Answer 3

First year junior senator who's barely on the Senate floor? Naaaaw.  

Answer 4

No one has the experience to qualify them for the job.  Every four years or so we choose between unqualified candidates based on our guess about how they will perform when they get the job.   Being a senator is unrelated to the job.  The presidency is not a collegial position and its primary function is not legislative.  A military career is unlike the presidency because there is no one else responsible for the decisions.

Answer 5

143 days as a Senator is not experienced. What you have witnessed is the Democrat Party being taken back by the Kennedy Clan. They have taken it back from the Clintons. Obama is a puppet for them.

Answer 6

He doesn't have the experience for the post he HAS. He got it through a combination of White Guilt and a feeling by some voters that he deserved it because he was black, even though Carol Mosely-Braun was a bust.

Answer 7

No

Answer 8

I say NO NO NO !!!!    

Answer 9

No, that would be above his pay grade.  He is a good community organizer though.

Answer 10

Yes, I do.   Since when did military service become a requirement for the presidency?
