"From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working. After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days. I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that."

This is my problem with Senator Obama in a nutshell - lack of experience. I simply don't care that he's Black, or has any kind of Muslin background. I'll worry about that if there is any indication that it will be an issue. I just don't feel that his Senate experience is enough to be the Leader of the Free World. I might feel differently if he had been a governor of a state, but that isn't part of his "work" background. He was a advocate for the poor in his early days. That gives him somewhat more caveat than his time in the Senate in my (sometimes not so) humble opinion.
