I think a lot of people are missing a very important fact here. Most presidents surround themselves with advisors with years of experience in every facet of government. So Obama's experience or Palin's experience doesn't mean shit. For example Obama has surrounded himself with some of the leading minds in economics from the Chicago School. So while Obama, himself, may have very little economics expertise. He surrounds himself with people who have vast amounts of knowledge and insight into the matter. I'm sure the same applies for McCain. So all this back and forth bullshit about experience is fucking non-sense.
I agree with this. It is impossible for one man to be an expert on everything. However, to be president, I think you need to have some leadership experience, and Obama has demonstrated none ... if for no other reason than he hasn't been around for very long.
He didn't even call any meetings of the European subcomittee that he supposedly chaired. (you know, the one that would have dealt with things like Georgia).
That's my beef with Obama. Not that he's only been a Senator for four years, but that he basically accomplished nothing in those four years.
It's all well and good to have these big brains around you giving advice ... but at the end of the day, it's up to the president to step up, be a leader, and make the best choice based on that advice.
I've seen nothing in his past to suggest Obama possesses that skill.
everybody wants the most they can possibly get
for the least they could possibly do
I disagreed with it, but he is a fantastic public speaker, so I have to respect him for that.
Believe me, when I was growin up, I thought the worst thing you could turn out to be was normal, So I say freaks in the most complementary way. Here's a song by a fellow freak - E.V

I don't know if it's an insult or not.
I just don't know what the fuck a "community organizer" is.
And, regardless, I don't know how it shows up on anybody's short list of qualifications to be president.
It's kind of like applying to be CEO of Microsoft, and keeping that summer you spent as a fry cook at Wendy's on your resume.
