This question has been tossed around the Talk Radio circuits....."What qualifications does Obama have to be the leader of the Free World?"

I am not anywhere near sold on anything that Obama has to offer, to be my chosen leader.....can anybody out there, enlighten me to even consider him to be the next President of the United States?

Same goes for Hillary, I don't see any outstanding record supporting her either.  I think the press over-hyped both, and now that's what the Democrats are stuck with.  There may have been better candidates, but we heard little, if anything, about them.

Obama might have a shot in 4 years, after gaining more experience.

It's all about change:wink: 
This is his 'slogan' but if anyone has a brain, it's easy to see that we are facing change. The current President or Vice President aren't candidates. We are going to be in for a change. duh!  :rolleyes:

What qualifications did Bush have?  Is sense a quality to lead the free world?  I think Obama is so charismatic that the whole world will wish they were 'merican, even Islamic fashists...I mean fascists.  Sarcastic mood today.

though i do not agree with him on the issues he supposedly stands for.........but, give him 4-more years and accomplish SOMETHING and you maybe right 442..he could be worth then.. :yes:

but as of now...........he is SO over-hyped as you stated.......the media just LOVES him to death...

And for some reason I love him to death :smitten:...sarcasm again.  It is pretty annoying, like trying to watch ESPN without hearing about steroids.

President Bush did have a record from being Govenor of Texas. Whatever you think about him, he at least showed what he had done in the past. We do not have that with Obama. We have a charismatic candidate stating platitudes.

You can look at his voting records as a Senator.  I agree with you and Henry though, just playing the devil's advocate.
