i'll don't know how to do this qualification thing but i came up with this...

In addition to being "Rooted in faith, inclusiveness, and bipartisanship," as Gloria Borger notes ["Does Barack Really Rock?" November 6], Barack Obama is pragmatic and down to earth. On the Iraq imbroglio, he says, "There are no good options in Iraq. There are bad options and worse options." That is a succinct way of putting in a nutshell the problem facing the decision makers. There is no getting away from hard decisions. Obama is a transformational leader with a shrewd head on his shoulders.

Borger considered Obama's lack of political experience to be a flaw, comparing it to the early days of President Bush, who she said was "too green" to understand when his plans went wrong. Too green? Perhaps. With a former president for a father, President Bush might have picked up a few pointers. Borger admits Obama is a reasonable man, looks for solutions, and has no political enemies. She is also aware of the favorable impression he made on the public at the 2004 convention. Against him is his lack of expertise. "Wishy-washy" does not seem quite the word for an intelligent, thoughtful man who is learning the ropes.
