He can be inspiring. However, our country needs much more than an inspirational speaker to fix our issues. We need someone like Hillary like her or not, that will stand up to the tyrants around the globe. The times require someone who is willing to come to the table and negotiate yet not give the table away as a good faith gesture. I would ask those that support Obamba if they are supporting him because they like him or because they really believe he has the skill and knowledge to do more than inspire us with speeches?

I'm sure a lot of people from your fair state said the same thing about Abe Lincoln when he was being sworn in and he had just two years as an Illinois state legislator when he became arguably our best president. You know why? Because he had incredible intelligence, courage and God-given common sense. Those trump experience any day of the week. Liek Obama says, Cheney and Rumsfeld were very experienced people who lorded over perhaps the worst foreign policy blunder in our nation's history. What they really needed was common sense. Why did Cheney think in 1994 that invading Iraq could be a huge mistake and then in 2003 he thought it was a great idea. He knew nothing had changed fundamentally in Saddam's WMD status yet he wanted to go in thinking it would be so easy. Well, Obama knew exactly what would happen. He had the intelligence to see the country for what it truly was and the intelligence to see what would happen if we invaded. He had to courage to speak out against the war when it was unpopular and he had the common sense to know that it would cost us too many lives and too much treasure. I'll take those traits of Washington experience any day. But let's look at elected legislative experience between the three front-runners on the Democratic side shall we? John Edwards - six years U.S. Senate. That's it. No substantive bills AUTHORED or passed. Hillary Clinton - seven years U.S. Seante. That's it. No substantive bills AUTHORED or passed. Barack Obama - 11 years state and U.S. senate. Sweeping ethics reform and childcare bills AUTHORED and passed in Illinois and a nuclear non-proiferation bill co-AUTHORED and passed in the U.S. Senate. So I'd say Obama has plenty of experience and more than stacks up against his two top opponents. To Sue, St Louis, MO.

This abstract term "experience" would have 50 different meanings to 50 different people, so no one really has the "experience" to be president (unless they've actually been in that office before). So if you want to get technical about it, all of the candidates are equally inexperienced. Plenty of people have been elected president with far less "experience" than Obama and have done a great job. Further, plenty of "experienced" people have been elected to the office and have been ineffective and/or did dumb stuff while there (Richard Nixon, for example). How much experience did you have for your little job before you started? Was that a reflection of how you would perform in the position? What if your employer had shut the door on you? The man meets the qualifications to be president. That's good enough for me...and it should be good enough for you. Be thankful the constitution allows any citizen who meets the basic quailifications to run for office. If you're so smart and want someone with more experience, why don't you get the experience and run in 2012? Now is your chance to get started!!! Otherwise, shut your pie hole! Further, I don't think any tax hike Obama implements would compare to what the most incompetent, "forgetful", irrational, and stubborn president in history has done with our tax dollars in the Middle East. You can be sure that Obama won't put the next three generations in debt like the Republicans and George Bush have done. For those anti-Obama and anti-democratic voters who voted for the "moral majority" and the "fiscally conservative" Republicans that were in office...shame on you! I get a big laugh out of how all of you were fooled into voting for Bush only to end up embarrassed more and more each week by this "guessing game" he's been playing for over 7 years now. You though you were voting for "the issues" but it turns out you were voting for more money to line the pockets of the wealthy who live in this country. No one else has benefited from what's been happening since 2000. Well, it's all about to be over. This guy Mike "Chuckle"-bee will lose the election if he's the Republican nominee. I guarantee it.

When criticizes he runs toward others - like Oprah, or Bill Cosby, or even Sen. Durbin. In his speeches I hear the words of a great man, Sen Paul Douglas, a big man with even a bigger heart, snowy hair with twinkling blue eyes that saw beneath the sham and the tawdry and moved this country together - not apart. and who stood in Congress and shamed the members for their bias and discrimination. It is no wonder that the late Sen Douglas was awarded the Conscience of Congress. Yet, oddly enough, I hear too much of Paul Douglas's words issued out of Obama's mouth, and not enough of Obama words - Obama does that - lifts the words of hope off of other people and shifts it a bit and sends it out into the crowd who wolf it up. Yet the bare facts - it is not his words - it is plagiarized. More than that, it is deceitful because it is not the real heart of Obama. The real heart of Obama is an ambitious intellectual. Therein is his flaw. I think of Obama sitting in the Oval office, and it is not nice. He has not been tempered by life's challenges, he has been indulged by life's benefits. To me, a man, or woman, must have tempered steel that forms his backbone. Obama's backbone is made of plastic. Worse yet, the media do not challenge him - they fear the race card - and it is what Obama plans to capitalize upon. It is what Obama has avoided all his life - the challenges. It is what he needs in the coming years – experience – then it will be time to run for president, but not now. Obama is not a brave man, usually ambitious people aren't.

It was awesome! There is no doubt in my mind that Barack Obama is a gifted and visionary leader. He will be able to form a new majority in the United States - with democrats, independences, republicans, and even some of the others groups...like the Democratic version of Ronald Reagan! On the day Obama is inaugurated as President, he will restore my faith in government and good people. I was there in SC today. It was awesome!

It stills doesn't change the fact that he really lacks experience and doesn't know National issues the same way other candidates do. We need to elect a president that can really take charge. I don't see that with Obama. And I think he's been hypocritical in attacking Clinton. The only problem is the news media is giving him a total pass. Hopefully people will look beyond the hype because we can't afford to lose the election and we can't afford another President that doesn't know what he is doing (imho). Hopefully CNN won't delete this comment as they seem to be trying to create the news instead of cover it. I'm so bored with this Oprah Obama fest.
