And anyway, Presidential experience is pretty much a myth. Out of the 43 Presidents this country has had, none of them had any real experience prior to taking office....none of them. The only men in this country who can lay claim to Presidential experience are the ones who've actually been President (i.e., Bill Clinton, Jimmy Carter and George Bush Sr.), and none of them can or are willing to run again.
How does one go about gaining the experience to become President? You don't. Nothing you've ever done in your life can prepare you for this difficult job....nothing

LOL!
It just goes to show how much effort people will put into defending the incompetent and unqualified. First of all, Obama is no Abraham Lincoln, so let's not even open that can of worms. And Lincoln did not win the civil war, nor did he end slavery all by himself. Brush up on your history lessons. And even if Lincoln did all those things, he had a lot of failures as well, and he certainly isn't dealing with a global economy and more pressing issues of our time. There simply was no need for international policy at that time. Geez man, come on; you think others are stupid?!
Secondly, EVERY other modern day president had some experience managing a checkbook larger than their own. Obama has never been part of managing economic policy on ANY government level. Now all of a sudden you think he's going to manage the largest freemarket economy in the world?! That's halarious! EVERY other president actually traveled over seas and had international ties and experience. He's a joke, and anyone that supports him is a part of that sad joke, unfortunately.
I'll say it slower for you: NO President has every run on, and succeeded on hope alone. You are simply drinking the coolaid, and it shows everytime you post. You don't even know what it is Obama will change, as you've certainly NEVER mentioned it here, and you probably never will.
You think that some magic is simply going to sprinkle out of the sky and he will suddenly become this great leader for black people and white people. What a foolish notion. Have you not learned anything from George Bush jr!?
It looks like his election is imminent, and I look forward to listening to you and others make excuses after excuses (like repubs did for Bush), when he proves to you what a total and utter fraud he is on all fronts.
The media and the black community have elected Obama. In much the same way Bush got elected, we are guaranteed to have the same results if not worse:
- He will NOT end the war as promised.
- He will NOT fix medical care
- He will NOT create jobs (still no solid policy announced)
- He will NOT reform immigration and strengthen borders
- He will continue to allow Mexico and China to undermine jobs here.
- Blacks will not benefit in ANY way from him being in office. That's ANY as in NONE.
Let's just focus on the facts instead of fantasy items like 'hope' and 'change'. You and all the other Obamaists still don't know what that is.
I'll keep saying, because apologists like yourself keep crawling up from under a rock. Until you can show evidence of Obama's competence, you and all your minions are part of the problem and not the solution. No one needs any more false-hope and empty rhetoric. Since that apparently is what you stand for, by all means, vote for him. But save the lies, misinformation for someone else, we don't need the garbage. Black people need solutions, not symbols.
