The inexperienced kid from Illinois is not ready for the White House.
Come on folks. What's with all the hype surrounding the political rookie from Illinois?

I mean, do we really want this guy as our President?



These are trying times. America is divided. We cannot afford to elect someone as inexperienced as this tool.

1. So you think all inexperienced politicians
from Illinois are like Abraham Lincoln? That's silly.

6. That's Not The OP's Point
The point is that "inexperienced" politicians can be perfectly great. Not that they are always perfectly great.

But I think that you actually knew that.

5. Yep. That Lincoln is just too wet behind the ears.
Just fell off the turnip wagon.

We need experience in the White House. He'll never make it. In over his head from the word go. Philistine yahoo from the deep hills. No worldly sensibilities. Don't know his forn countries none.

And a one-termer to boot. You wouldn't catch me votin' for him.

18. It is a cute point but....
you are only playing into the idiotic view that Obama is the inexperienced one in the race. He has served much more time in elected office than Hillary or Edwards.
