Barack Obama Car Flag - A Vehicle for Change

Barack Obama and Experience.

Does Barack Obama have enough experience in dealing with the Washington power brokers and does he really know his way around enough to be an effective President? Granted, he makes good speeches and has some great slogans, but he only has a few years in the Senate and that's about it. And, he seems to be most proud of having made a speech against the Iraq War while in the Illinois State Senate. So? The Presidency is no place for on-the-job training and his lack of experience scares me - we've just had 7 years of that. Actually, the one with the most experience and the best-qualified is probably John McCain, but I see him as being another Bush in a lot of respects. Why should I even think about voting for Obama if he gets the nomination? The lack of experience worries me.

Does anyone know for sure if the rumor that Barack Obama is a Muslim and attended a Muslim school is true?

Really - would you vote for Barack Obama? (5 answers)

Ok, I've been a Democrat for years (much to the chagrin of my parents when they were alive) and now that Barack Obama is really starting to come on strong and looking more like a potential front-runner, I'm starting to have doubts about whether I'll be voting for a Democrat in the next election if he were to pull an upset and get the nomination. Why? No experience to speak of and that scares me - look at the last candidate who won with no experience (Bush) and what has happened. And to be honest, if he got the nomination, I don't see him winning. He's essentially a one-issue candidate (think George McGovern and more recently, Howard Dean) and we all know he wouldn't carry the South. How about it fellow Dems? Are we going to wind up voting Libertarian in 2008? Will 2008 be the year a third party candidate wins?
