Just so you know, Obama IS in his prime and has been helping Americans in elected office for 10+ years now. Before that, he worked in public service helping inner city underprivileged poor. He chose to take a terribly underpaid position helping the poor instead of taking a Supreme Court Clerkship which would have been hugely lucrative and would have fast-tracked his career, did you know this?
Barack Obama is a constitutional scholar and edited the Harvard Law Review. Do you know how incredibly gifted this man is and what a gift he would be to this nation as president? Not since JFK has there been a candidate with this much promise for our nation. Have you been asleep the past four years? Go watch his speeches, read up on him, get to know the man and what he stands for...which is America and doing the right thing.
SteveO,
I watched the same CNN profile of Obama that you apparently watched, since the points you make are the same ones I saw in the piece. It was informative and I came away with a better idea of who he was. However, he has not served long enough on the national scene to suit me. Because I would like him to be more experienced does not make me a bad person. As I just said in my post above, I am leaning towards voting for him. However, people like you who act like anyone who questions him in any way is an idiot really turn me off. I don't drink anyone's Kool-Aid, not even Steve Jobs, the original "Oh Yeah", man. I have a right to make up my own mind and I am doing my research, I do not need people like you trying to make me feel like I am an idiot if I question his experience.
