Senator Barack Obama, who has almost no experience whatsoever, wants to be the next president of the United States.
Democratic Sen. Barack Obama of Illinois jumped in the 2008 White House race on Tuesday, promising to bring Americans together and “change our politics” with a campaign that could make him the first black president in U.S. history.
Obama, a freshman senator and rising party star, formed a committee to begin raising money and hiring staff to campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination to succeed Republican President George W. Bush.
He plans a formal campaign launch in his hometown of Chicago on February 10.
Go home and grow a little, son.
Yes, because George W. Bush’s experience has really helped him to sucessfully lead our nation for the past six years…

Josh:
Bush’s economy is the envy of the rest of the world. Obama has even less experience then Dan Quayle whom I am certain you derided. Obama ought ot start working on filling out his resume.
But Obama is articulate (the left’s racist litmus test) — and has audacity — and hope. That has to be enough. I haven’t democrats this excited since Wesley Clark’s first five minutes in the 04 pres race.
The light of day will not be kind to Obama.
Years ago, I knew an executive who had tremendous energy and enthusiasm, but not much content. She was always talking about “the big plan” but had no particular thoughts about what the big plan should *be*.
I hadn’t thought of her for a long time, until Obama came on the stage…
At this point I would prefer Guliani and Gingrich (Vp). I will not vote Democratic because I feel my life depends on it. I want someone who will carry the war against Islamofascism more diligently. I know Guiliani will…and I know Gingrich will.
Yeah, I’d also like Rudy or Newt.
Gingrich has absolutely no chance. He is way too polarizing a figure.
Hey, don’t you know that its racist to suggest that a black man should be qualified for the job he is seeking.
Come on, Ryan. That comment is a little over the line.
I happen to be a proponent of Affirmative Action. I still don’t think the playing ground is level.
But nobody brought up race in regard to Obama.
My apologies. I disagree with you about Affirmative Action, while agreeing that the playing field is probably not level yet.
That being said, I highly doubt anyone would be taking Obama seriously as a canidate for president with his current level of government experience if his skin was a paler shade. (I probably wouldn’t vote for him reguardless as he seems to have fairly strong liberal beliefs, but I think he probably would make a good canidate for the dems after a little more experience in public office… perferably in the executive branch somewhere.)
Obama is great.
