Is Obama's ability to inspire hope in people more important to America's future than...?

Question

his lack of experience? You can say anything else about Obama, but you must admit that he is amazingly charismatic and gives hope to many.

Answer 1

Yes. Experience isn't that important. McCain has a lot of experience but can't instill hope in anyone, because he's hopeless.

Answer 2

Obama did a great job tonight.  Obama doesn't lack experience...

Answer 3

I get no sense of hope from Obama and see no leadership qualities in him. He only gives hope to some because like most democrats he will say anything the people want to hear in order to get elected and then not follow through with the promises.

It's happened time after time with Democrats.

And when they don't fulfill their promises they do what they always do and blame the Republicans. That's no way to run a country.

Answer 4

Yeah, he's not the first national leader who came to power by giving inspiring speeches in front of a fake Greek colonnade...but the last one isn't remembered very fondly.

Answer 5

you need more than charisma to run a country. be smart.

Answer 6

Let us put this another way; what is more important, snake oil or the wisdom and ability that comes from experience?

Answer 7

What good does inspiration do when nothing can be delivered to the people who are inspired?  It is too bad that Americans don't realize that Obama is 95% BS and the rest inspiration. People can have hope but the hope soon disappears when nothing helps them out of the mess they are in. Obama will produce very little for the American people.
