Was Obama, in your opinion, qualified?

John H


The choice wasn't Obama or Palen for POTUS in 2008. It may be in 2012.

Man, you snuck under that question!

I'll say this: In 2012, Obama will have had more experience running
the country than will Palin.

To where he runs it is the big question.

My point was that had Palin been the POTUS candidate, I could never have
voted for her.
Unless she has a brain transplant, I doubt I could in 2012 either.

I also am disappointed in Obama's political skills ... or lack of. I
don't agree with much of what
he promotes either. That said, this country (and many others) have
some very serious
economic problems to solve. Those that focus on placing blame aren't
helpful at all in solving
those problems. I am an engineer. I tend to focus on fixing the
problem, not casting blame.
It is what it is, sorta attitude,

I am a firm believer that the eventual solution to this mess is in
providing appropriate incentives to
business ... primarily small businesses ... to encourage expansion,
investment and growth. It's the only
way to chip away at the scary unemployment numbers that exist.

Do you realize that in addition to an "actual" 25% unemployment rate,
something like 23% of those working Americans are working part time, are
"temps", consultants, independent job-by-job contractors or otherwise not
working conventional full-time jobs?

Time to wake up, drop the politics and fix the damn problem.

This guy is never going to do as you ask. I know this is probably going to
burst your bubble, but neither will the Republicans, at least they've
shown no inclination to do so in the last year.


"This guy" meaning Obama or me? You are a bit hard to follow.
