I just don't think a Junior US senator who has "realistically" about 2 years experience (Last 12-18 months on the campaign trail) is ready to lead the United States of America.
Mr. Obama was in the State Legislature for 6 years, which is good experience on the state level. But it's like telling someone, "You've done a good job as Director of our Illinois Branch (insert company name of your choice here), now we want you to come and be the CEO of our Fortune 500 Company". What company in their right mind would do that?
In my humble opinion, Mr. Obama has great potential and could be a great president...in time. I just do not think his time is now.
I just hope Mr. Obama (should he win) can fill his cabinet with the best, bright minds he can find. I just don't think he can do it on his own...not yet. | I totally agree with you on this. I believe Mr. Obama is intelligent, articulate, empathetic and kind-hearted (among other trajits)--all great attributes I would be looking for in a leader for this country. I just truly do not believe that, although it obviously now is "his time", this is what he is prepared for YET. I truly wish him the best of luck and just know he will do a better job than McCain could.
