"Experience" as a criterion is too broad, too biased, and over-rated. Honesty and good judgment are more to the point, and more valuable.

Absolutely not! He talks a good talk, but that's about it. I think he is trying to prove that he can talk his way into the presidency. I think he would be very bad for the country.

YES. I know he is as ready as anyone that is running at this time…He thinks about all Americans. That is important.

Absolutely not. He is a product of the "MTV generation." He is disingenuous, arrogant. He does not understand the Nation, its cultural history, its language.

Yes. His intelligence and knowledge of the world put him WAY ahead.

One term in the U.S. Senate is better than many terms because long term senators tend to have more lobbyists influencing their positions.

His campaign is a campaign of slogans, not substance. Most of the people at his mega-rallies are there because everyone else is there.

When he left Harvard Law School at the top of his class it is likely that he got many offers to work for prestigious law firms. Instead he went to south Chicago to work as an organizer. This says something about his character and his commitment.

I would be concerned about his poor judgment and where his loyalties lie. To have associated himself with a pastor who essentially preaches hate for America and its white citizens speaks volumes.

Yes, he has vast experience in being a leader and uniter. He does not, however, have the experience of politics as usual. That is exactly why he is more qualified than any other candidate.

Yes. The job of president is like no other. No other job really helps prepare a person for it. The campaign is the best training ground. Obama is the one who has grown most in a positive way during the campaign.

We've seen "experienced" people become president and fail miserably. Experience does not prove how successful you will ultimately be.
