From what I read Obama has been a lawmaker for the last 10 years. I'm sorry guys, but in my opinion Washington DC isn't the only place to gain experience in politics. Both Clinton and Edwards have been lawmakers for less.
I clearly think this inexperience claim is just another false swift boat attempt. Do you agree?

It has been very amusing reading the answers that say I'm wrong.
Obama has had 10 years as a lawmaker as I've stated. 8 of those years was spent at various positions at the state level. 2 of those years in Washington DC.
connor I suggest you actually read the link you provided as it also states that he has been a lawmaker for 10 years between state and senate.

Exactly, since they have not been able to assassinate his character, this is what they choose to attack him with. In truth John Kennedy was young, and didn't have a lot of experience but was loved for his charisma and intelligence. Had he lived he may have become America's best president, and so could Obama. .

Hi, just a personal opinion here, and you don't have to agree.
But even though Obama has experience in the field of law, I am not sure he would be the right person in government.
At least not today. As for the other 2, I don't trust them either. But that is irrelevant.
I am not sure who to vote for since I am not really sold on any of the candidates.
I have almost adopted the belief that we don't vote for who we like the most, but more for who we hate the least.
I would be more inclined to vote for some regular guy that can balance his check book, a good sense of fairness, low tolerance for crime and illegal immigration and has strong moral conviction.
Regular guys like you and me.
I am sorry its not the best answer, but its the best i can offer at this time.
Lets see what the people think. After all it is democracy.
I guess I want a patriot, not a politician

I agree and I think that we have become too 'dependant' on the 'good old boy' game that our government plays and expects everyone to play. It's about time someone else stepped up to the plate who has not been up on the hill long enough to get tainted, wasted and loose his edge. Obama is kind, speaks with wisdom, openly admits his errors or lack of knowledge about a particular incident, rather than lie or cover up; he appears to be genuine. My only concern is that the way our government/political game is played - you have to have MONEY to play politics and we all know the CAMPAIGN GAME. Watch what's going to happen - the unruly ones will come up out of the camp armed and extremely dangerous and ready to shoot any other candidate in the head, foot, wherever they can get some gossip. I sincerely pray that Obama's camp does not waste their campaign funds on foolish tongue lashing and bashing - but stick to the message.

I don't know a tremendous amount about Obama, but I do know there is a good ol boy scenario in the White house now. I feel Obama has the chance not to be a good ol boy.
what has bush vetoed in the last 6 years?
I have always been on the republican side, but Bush and his leader Cheney ruined that for the good republicans.
If I had to vote now, I am a christian white male, I vote for Obama

No, 10 years as a state senator and three as a U.S. senator.
He has shown allot of love for our country, he has common sense.
His belief in our ability's as a nation, are in line with what allot of Americans see.
Read "The Audacity of hope" it will give a good incite to the man.

I agree. Not only that but these so called politicians with experience is the reason that the United States is in the condition that its in. So what do they need experience in screwing up?

Hardly, no. He has too little experience.
And what experience he has isn't promising, frankly.
All he really has is charm, and we've had too much of that turn out badly for us.
I'm in the mood to elect a clod, myself.

you are wrong, obama has only been in the senate since 2005 (2 years, certainly not 10). he is very inexperienced, but that is part of his charm, people may see him as not yet corrupted by the harshness of washington. we shall see, but it is fact that he is quite inexperienced.

Read the website of the Church where Obama is currently a member. "We are Black, we are proud of our Blackness".
Change the word "black" for "white".
Doesn't that sound incredibly racist?
Why hasn't the press gotten hold of this??? Because they're all liberals and would NEVER call out one of their own!!
BTW, Obama's Mother is White, but I have never heard him proclaim his "Whiteness".
