He offers little experience in government or the private sector and less explanation of what he will do or HOW he plans to do it. People are just laying their own visions on this man and see him as a messiah. They don't know and don't seem to want to ask who he is or what he will do as President beyond agreeing with the simple platitudes that he expresses in his rather repetitive stump speeches. . I don't happen to think experience is a dirty word. Americans can't afford to elect an inexperienced man who will learn how to govern by doing a "co-op" in the White House. Being President is not an internship opportunity. Our safety and our economy and indeed our future are all too important for guessing games or Russian roulette Obama says Hillary Clinton's campaign only plays on our fears, but someone needs to wake us all up about this new "American idol." If Obama can “get real" and offer us real details... fine. We will have a true measure of this man. But if we end up with a President who has to use the office to "experiment" with his ability to govern, we'll have the biggest “hangover" afterwards and one that won't go away for at least 4 years.
