Obama went to the slums of chicago and became a "community orgainizer". Gave a speech in 2004. Then didnt even complete his first term as senator in the U.S. Senate. I'm not putting Palin over him but then why should I put him over her? The media is putting her limited experience to the fire but never for obama when he's running for commander in chief.

She was a small town mayor and Governor of one of the less populous state in the Union....Obama is a Senator from one of the largest..

I'd put the President of the Harvard Law Review over any fucking governor of the nation.

There's only one HLR prez at any time. There's 50 dumb-ass state governors running around.

Give me one state guv who is smarter, more talented, has greater organizational skills, is able to inspire, is able to take down the Clintons, is able to transform his party in eight months, and puts talented people around him while putting together a platform comprehensively engaging every single problem this country is facing.

And it ain't the fuckin' governor of po-dunk Alaska, with more caribou than people.

Don't forget he can read off 3 teleprompters almost flawlessly at any time. That has got to give him the slight edge!

Yo chikkkkkkkeeeennnnnns have come hooooooooooooommmme. To ROOOOOOOOOOST.

She actually cut taxes, gained a surplus, and re-invested that money in a state savings account. You want "not-of-Washington", there's your proof. In my limited 20 years of experience in life, I have found small-town folk actually understand the old-school mentality of getting shit done the right way.

Obama is all fluff for the idiot masses of America who like to be victims. He's running on about 5 or 6 catch phrases lmao.

She left Wasillia with a huge amount of debt. She started big, meaningless plans the city is still paying for, because she wanted to be flashy and run for governor. It worked, but left her constituents holding the bag.

Sounds like GOP SOP to me.

The 'old-school mentality' of getting shit done means paying bills, not growing the government to absurd amounts, protecting the dollar. Not more of McSame. The real world has tons of issues the snow princess has never seen.

Don't worry, you'll grow up, get used to this stuff. You're just 20 years old, a baby.

You forget, these libtards here want to become one of those liberal elitists. They are already on track because they don't believe regular people can take hold of the American Dream. They think everyone needs the government to help them rather than a government that stays small and nonintrusive. Actually, I don't think they understand the concept. Besides, they are by nature, so bigoted, they probably just don't like her because she is part native Eskimo! Maybe they are jealous because she has minority status as an Eskimo and Woman!

Yeah that isn't half as important as organizing those neighborhoods like in Communist/socialist countries. Ayers was real proud of him and help him organize a couple of boards.

Thinking back, did Rezko help him buy the house before or after he worked with Ayers. And you got to love his religious minister friends, the crazy Catholic Priest and Rev. Wright.

I would say Obama is well qualifed. As Thug of The Month guy.

then what makes obama qualified for #1?

Not mine, but rather David Frum, writer for The National Review (William F. Buckley's mag)and former Bush speech writer....

That said: Can we conservatives please stop kidding ourselves about Barack Obama's "qualifications"? Yes, if I had been a Democratic donor back in 2006, I'd sure worry about whether Barack Obama had what it took to be president. That was before he took on the toughest political operation in America, before he beat Bill and Hillary Clinton, before he won 18 million primary votes.

Obama's nomination was not handed to him. He fought hard for it and won against the odds. "Qualifications" predict achievement. Once you have achieved, it doesn't matter what your qualifications are. Who cares whether the guy who built a big company from nothing didn't have much of a resume when he started? But if you are applying to run a big company built by somebody else, the resume matters ...

McFlummoxed's POW episode qualifies him for nothing. In fact, the abuse he received added some years to this like, both mental and physical.

Judging by his excess and POW history, I'd say he's more like late 70s rather than 72.

HUSSEIN's mutliple accomplishments and his mgmt of his campaign so far indicate a talented, driven, intelligent person, two highly relevant areas where McSame has shown nothing.

One of our "largest states"?:lmao

I see that it's the geographic size of the state that matters. So, under your criteria, the governor of, let's say, New York has an easier job than Palin, because New York is a "smaller state," right?

You do realize that the entire State of Alaska has a population half the size of San Antonio, right?

Alaska is all rocks.

Fewer people than Austin, Texas.

AHF is really, really, really stretching here.

Largest state, eh? Didn't realize governing a bunch of caribou qualified you to lead the country.

2005 resident population est.: 663,661

10 largest cities (2005 est.): Anchorage, 275,043; Fairbanks, 31,324; Juneau, 30,987; Sitka, 8,986; Wasilla, 8,471; Kenai, 7,464; Ketchikan, 7,410; Palmer, 6,920; Kodiak, 6,273; Bethel, 6,262;

If Alaska was a city it would place 19th in the country (or Charlotte, NC).

yeah democrats keep on attacking small town America, keep on minimizing a average Americans as able to lead...

The latest nationwide survey, begun Friday afternoon after the McCain announcement of Palin as running mate and completed mid-afternoon today, shows McCain/Palin at 47%, compared to 45% support for Obama/Biden.

In other words, the race is a dead heat..

So now you're saying average Americans are qualified to be president? I DON'T WANT an average American as president. Fuck that. That was the stupid reasoning that got us "W". I want the best and the brightest. I want one of the smartest persons we can find to be president. I want the "elite," as much as you Republicans hate the term.

I am from a small town. My business is in a small town roughly the size of Wasilla. I wouldn't want any of the people in my small town, including the mayor, running the country.

That's a Zogby Interactive Poll. People basically vote online.

I'm not saying the race isn't close. Here is the Real Clear Politics poll of polls.

Obama McCain
RCP National Average 47.5 44.2 Obama +3.3
Favorable Ratings +20.1 +16.1 Obama +4.0
Intrade Market Odds 60.5 39.1

the great irony is that all these arguments about what we should think about certain candidates really doesn't matter. they don't care what we think, as long as we vote for them. they could care less what it was that sealed the deal, just as long as the deal was sealed. politics, man...damn.

Oh like FDR? This guy was Assistant Secretary of the Navy and Governor of New York and has been worshipped by liberals forever. This guy with his "brain trust" basically handed Eastern Europe to USSR for forty years of hell through Yalta, had a New Deal program that did nothing until September 1, 1939 and wanted to seize control of the Supreme Court through a court-packing scheme.

I can go toe to toe with you and your liberal-worhsipping buddies. :ihit

Democrats are puppets for different corporate entities than are Republicans, but either way, make no mistake about who is actually running the country.

Obama is finally bringing to the left what the right did to get W two terms... campaign only to get the win, actually govern in a completely different way, and use the "changing global landscape" or some other bullshit excuse to explain why the promises and actions are not congruent. That's how you become president.

Lol, and they can go toe to toe right back with you.. If it's what they strongly believe, they will think they are right, no matter what... kind of like you. It's a waste of time and breath.

Either party cannot be trusted IMO, you'd have to be a sheep to believe everything you read..especially if you're eating up all the garbage spewed about your own side, and what your side is spewing about the other side. Of course they're going to write whatever they want to keep you loyal to their party, they do, and they do it well.

Divided we fail....... What kind of country is this where we are splitting America into two sides, making Americans waste energy berating, and belittling other fellow Americans like children, when we should be using that energy in working together to solve our problems. All it does is cause unnecessary conflict that we do not need during these times. :rolleyes
