I am a Hillary supporter who would be an Obama supporter if he had shown the gumption to stick to something, although I moved to the American South as an outsider and watched evangelicals at tent meetings bringing in the flock and am thusly immune to cults in any form. I don't find Obama's speechifying very inspiring. the "Yes we can" chant seems like lame high school cheer leading to me.
Seems Obama was running for state leg while working at his first law firm, then when in the Illinois leg, running first for U.S. Congress (failed) and then Senator. After a year of being bored as a Senator, he started running for President.
Isn't the Presidency of the U.S. supposed to be the most demanding job in the world? What kind of person thinks one year in the Senate prepares them for this job?
Obama claims he has similar experience to JFK, Jr. (who had 14 years total in Congress and chaired important committees that he called, while Obama hasn't called one meeting of his committee according to what I've read).
Lincoln, another person Obama claims, which is to be expected of any person representing Illinois, had more than 30 years of relevant experience.
