I would expect a thread like this from NavyPride or Jamesrage, not a Mod.

He's telling the truth. What's wrong with that?

He's just pointing out Obama's thin resume. You aren't claiming that he has tons of legislative accomplishments are you?

He sure made a good speech after winning last night and he's got momentum and money. Without Hillary's baggage he should go far but he still has to beat McCain in the final.

The most qualified candidate ever can still lead us in wrong directions...
Look at the first Bush.
The most sincere and honest candidate can be inept.
Look at Carter.
And most of the old party favorites have debts owed to the party itself or to special interests.
I am pleased with the turn of events, so far. I like all 4 of the current front runners, and hope to see Hillary and Rudy get hammered in NH.

And this is exactly the apprehension I have about Obama. He seems like a decent, honest guy who can give a great speech, but that isn't enough to be president. Every time I hear him talk about "a new kind of politics" and "a bipartisan era," I cringe. For the first time in over a decade, the public seems truly ready to embrace a progressive agenda (or at least to elect progressives because they're mad at the GOP). If we elect a president who compromises just for the sake of compromising, we will blow a huge opportunity to bring about real change.

This is the main reason I prefer Clinton. She actually knows how to work well across party lines without being a pushover.

I think he has "abstained" from more votes than any other...



Wait, that might not be a bad thing for a democrat!

Pushover she isn't, it is the bulldozer in her that I don't like.

You also have to ask, how much of that is pandering and fluff to get elected.

In all honesty, if you can correct my misconception I'd appreciate it. I'm just completely unaware of anything he's done and haven't found anything to change that view.
