I don't mean to suggest that we should only elect Washington insiders - but rather someone who has proven themselves in some professional arena - governor, successful businessman... ANYTHING. Obama's experience can be summed up as community organizer (with debatable success) and two years as a junior Senator (the last two years were spent running for president) with nothing to show for it. Those two years in the senate are the only things that separate his experience from the average American walking the streets today. He lost an election for House of Representatives in 2000, then was elected to the Senate ONLY because his opponent was involved in a sex scandal right before the election - otherwise he would have lost in a landslide as a Democratic candidate in a heavily Democratic state. He is not a serious candidate for office, just a good speaker reader at this point. America, which makes him no more qualified to be president than any actor working on a television courtroom drama show.
