Is Barack Obama qualified to be President of the United States of America. [View all]

According to Bernie Sanders, candidates who use Super PACs (Obama did in 2012), support international trade agreements (Obama pushes the TPP) and who supported the Panama trade deal (Obama told Clinton to finalize it and get it approved) is not qualified to be President.

I disagree with Senator Sanders--I don't think those things disqualify him from the office of President.
