@hawkeye10,
Quote:obama has proven his leadership ability by winning the democratic nomination to be the next president of the United States. He has ideas, he can articulate those ideas, and he has worked in major city and state levels as well as DC. What else do you want, the world leaders telling you that they believe he can do the job?..wait, they did that already....
So his experience consists of
1)
Winning the democratic primaries --- although he backed into the win. Sure seems like qualifications for being president! Of course it helps when there is a "proportional" distribution. (If Obama and Clinton were Republicans running in Republican primaries, Clinto would have kicked his ass. But then these were the screwy Dem primaries which strove to show fairness while preserving back room decisions in the person of "super-delegates."
2)
He has ideas and can articulate those ideas. Therefore Shirley McClain, Alec Baldwin, Clint Eastwood, Regis Philbin, Lou Holtz, Brit Humes, Tommy Lee Jones, Jon Voight, Gary Oldman, Gary Sinese, Derek Jeter and Rober Duvall are all qualified to be president.
3)
he has worked in major city and state levels as well as DC.
Perhaps, if you are an Illinois booster.
So if you get a job as a receptionist at a Nuclear Energy Think Tank, you become an expert on Nuclear Energy?
If his experience in "major city and state levels as well as DC." represents qualifications for the presidency then just about everyone working in DC is qualified to be president of the US.
What else do I want?
A candidate with true experience.
What "world leaders" told us they believe he can do the job?
