112. I don't feel as strongly about Obama as you do,
but I don't trust him at all. To me, he's as slick as an oil spill and as smooth as a used car salesman. He's a great speaker, but I keep waiting for substance and only see the meringue but not the pie.

I value people who pay their dues and work hard at a job before expecting to be promoted. Since when does a guy who was in the state senate a mere 3 years ago is qualified to become president of the USA???????

I also value loyalty and dislike backstabbers. Hillary campaigned for him , raised funds for him and he sought her advice in his first year as senator, just as she did with Robert Byrd when she was a newbie. So, what does Obama do when he had been in the senate less than 2 full years? The arrogant man decides that he's ready to be president!!!!

This past summer he compared his age to that of JFK and Bill Clinton when they decided to run for office, omitting to say that JFK had been in Congress for 14 years before he ran for president and Bill Clinton had been a governor for 12 years and was in 1992 the senior sitting governor of the country. Obama? Oh yeah, he just completed the first half of his first term in the senate.

Give me a break!!!!!!!!
