When he was a young man in high school (according to his book), he called his white gym coach a honky m-f for calling his gymmates n's. Does that make it right?
He said he would be the only candidate who wouldn't talk badly about any of the other candidates, yet he's been slinging mud back at Hillary.
He used his platform as the only candidate who didn't vote to go to war, yet if he's elected president, he'll move all the troops into Afghanistan and Pakistan.
He has no issues that he stands for, but says he has always been against the war and is now thiniking of prolonging it in other countries.
He has a nice smile, is charismatic, and tells each crowd what they want to hear.
He's lost.

Barack Obama does have some good ideas. However, he lacks the experience needed to bring those ideas to fruition. Also he has very little to no experience dealing with foreign dignitaries. Do you really want a president that's a rookie with foreign affairs?

I met him at one of our restaurant association events a few years back. He seemed a very charming intelligent guy. He thinks on his feet and is practical, not a radical, not prone to 'shoot from the hip' on important issues (like I do). He listens and does not react without thinking things through.
I do not agree with him on several issues, but he has been a good senator and I would not be upset if he were elected.

He is black, a good speaker and has just become a new senator. In today's world that makes him presidential timber, I guess. I suspect he has been persuaded to run to set himself up for 2012 or 2016. All he has done is demonstrate to me that he does not yet understand how much more experience he needs to do that job.
The Republicans must be praying that he can distract enough attention from the real candidates. If he can sneak in they can nail him on the experience issue, and deflect the criticism of their regressive policies.

He's against nuclear war??? Is there anyone FOR nuclear war??? Seriously, does anyone really for war period?
The question isnt whether you are for it, its whether you have the courage and intellectual honesty to make tough choices to protect the American people. Obama clearly doesnt.

Well, let's see. He's basically willing to grant legitimacy to tinpot dictators and rogue nations by having top level discussions with them, wants to teach five year olds about sex in some kind of "age appropriate" way, doesn't know if he'd be willing to use nukes or not, and wants to invade Pakistan, which is one of our allies.
I guess it wouldn't be dull.

No where near ready for the big leagues. A black Dan Quayle.

I think he could benefit from more experience.

For president of the sixth grade, maybe. President of the USA? No way. The guy is a weak, brain-dead flake.
