I actually was intrigued when he first showed up on the presidental radar and found his mannerism and appearance appealing enough for a minority to actually have a chance at winning the presidency. Then came the thing about his $1000+ unpaid parking tickets he left behind at
Harvard. Not a big deal right? But it seemed to show something about his character. Then came the so called "leaked" emails concerning Hillary, and not just the one concerning the indians. There have been a few that Obama would let "leak" for a few days and then deny ever knowing about them.

This guy seems too sneaky for the presidency. Care to add any insight? This is just my opinion and could be changed if these issues were clarified.

The fine turned out to be $375, not $1000+. You can do a search on leaked Obama emails and research it yourself. No, I do not know alot about politics but between Hilary and Obama, Hilary seems to better represent the kind of person I want running this ship we call America. Right now, i'm still on the fence. The only thing I am sure about is my vote will be for a Democrat even though i'm officially registered as a Republican.

I haven't gotten that impression fully from him yet, but you are right about one thing. He does seem to have a lot of "leaks" from his staffers that he then claims he knew nothing about. He's going to have a hard time with Hillary. He made the mistake of trumpeting the fact that he intends to run a "clean" campaign and now he's coming to the point where the candidates have to start speaking out against each other. It's going to be a hard line for him to walk and be successful. So perhaps his staffers, knowing that, are willing to take the heat for it. But then he runs the risk of people thinking if he can't control his own staffers how can run the country?

His own political inexperience has hurt him in the debates. People expected him to rise up and clearly shut down Hillary in the debates and that just didn't happen. She just shines in the debate forum and he is clearly a novice at it, which will continue to damage that "I can rise above it all" persona he seems to exude. That same inexperience will only continue to plague him as the race heats up. He has no practical idea just how hot it's going to get, and Sen. Clinton has been through this a time or two before, to say the least.

She is far more qualified for the Presidency, and that is becoming clearer to more people every day. She just keeps moving up while everyone else moves around her jockeying for position. I think he'd make an excellent VP for her though, he really does have some great ideas.

Every politician is sneaky in their own rights, and elections are a game they all have to play. I

When I was a student at Penn State, you didn't get your diploma if you had outstanding parking tickets.

Being that Obama has his degree, I wonder if the parking tickets are just a rumor. I'll do some searching and if I find different, I'll add to my answer in a little bit.

Add on:

I found this bit saying he paid them:

Too sneaky for the Presidency? Are you new to politics or what? it is a backstabbing, cut the other guy's throat business. You are naive if you don't think every politicioan alive will take an opportunity to slam their opponent.

Byron, this isn't really a question you are asking; It's more of a statement.
