I have no idea if Obama has the chops to be President, now or later....but do the posters on this thread who were such supporters of President Bush back in 2000 realize he had, at the time he bagan to run, 4.5 years of experience in government, and all of that at one level? Prior to that he had been involved in business, some successful, some not. He has admitted the first 40 years of his life were not spent as productively as he would have liked in retrospect. Yet he was deemed seasoned enough to be President. Obama has eight years of State Government, two years in the Senate (and would have another 1.5 by the time he was elected in 2008, if that happened). He has worked in the private and public sector, apparently to success at every level. His academic credentials are excellent.. Politics aside, is it the Bush experience that makes Obama seem less qualified in 2008 than Bush was in 2000?

obama is young, black, handsome, and articulate... but that's about all there is to him... the demohack press is just plain horny, nothing more than that... they're in love with the "idea of someone like obama," but not really obama himself... indeed, he is the freshman senator from Illinois, but that's all he is - a freshman, hardly Presidential grade material... his politics is to the left of pelosi, and once that's widely known he'll be toast... he'll appear on all the puff ball talk shows, but he avoids the real interviews that would immediately strip away his toothpaste smile and thin veneer... one look under the hood and everyone will see he has no substance, it's only a matter of time... once his honeymoon with the demohack press is over, they'll turn on him and rip him to shreds... the clock is ticking...
