#1 I totally agree. Obama seems to me as a radical civil rights activist. The dems will never vote him in as their candidate anyway. The big money folks who decide who runs or not want someone who looks after their business interests. The good thing with Hillary is she already has 8 years experience. but before the election next year I imagine something will happen good or bad for the USA which will be the deciding factor, either way if its bad people will want the Republicans to stay because they have shown in the face of some nasty shit that they hold firm, if its good the republicans will stay because it must have been their doing.
George Bush maybe an idiot he may have started a war with Iraq under bad intelligence, but he stayed the course, Iraq only becomes Vietnam when we admit all is lost.

#3 But his stupidity is extraordinary

For some people, it is a lifestyle. For others, a cherished art form.

#4 I would not underestimate Obama. He is a canny politician, and for someone who is relatively inexperienced on the national level he has campaigned formidably. He could be difficult to contend with during the next election cycle.

My problem with him is that he is an unabashed, reflexive liberal. Since he is a minority with an easy charm and a polished speaking style the liberal MSM has treated him as a "white knight" for the Democrats so far, but the substance of his beliefs will have to withstand greater scrutiny in his future runs.

#6 But the troubling part is not Obama but his appeal to the masses so far. It only proves the trouble we are really in when you have so many people willing to vote for him and give him money.

#7 GP

Obama is a nobody, a minor media creation that will fade as quickly as cheap towel in the desert sun. This is still very much the silly season of politics.

A leftist boob gets lots of props cause that's what the media wants.

#8 Obama Hussein. I'm not so sure that he is naive.

#9 My gut tells me Obama is aiming for the VP slot. I think a Hillary/Obama ticket is the Dems best shot and I can't see Hillary being VP to Obama.

#10 Once Hillary decides to really crank up the Personal Destruction machine, this guy will be toast...

#11 These clowns are free to uninformedly run off at the mouth until he/she/it becomes the Donk frontrunner The chosen one will then receive formal briefings about what is really going on, and then they can continue to run their mouths off mindlessly once more, albeit, while knowing better.
