Obama is 46 years old, elected a Senator 3 years ago, been in DC probably for 6 months and is running for President?
Clinton was a young Democrat President and look at the mess he left for Americans.

Bush goes bumbling along, grinning and spewing moronic one-liners, as though nobody understands what a colossal failure he has been. I fear to the depth of my being that John McCain is just like him. Jack Cafferty

He's not too young but does lack experience. I don't believe he is a uniter but a divider just like bush who also went on about uniting this country. Look what happened with that nut. I think obama is another bush only its worse, he is a liberal.  Sad Can't believe that people are falling for that crap again.

i agree i wouldnt necessarily be an agist and have a problem with anyone too old or too young but a reasonable person has to admit obama does have a lack of experience

and we saw with dubya what no experience can mean, tho that doesnt mean it will always be like that with a young prez

Bush was a two-term governor of Texas-a border state; he did not lack experience.  He lacks brains.

governor of texas is a figurehead position tho

the only decision he ever had to make was whether or not a death penalty inmate would get killed (guess how he decided)

figurehead like queen of england, only they didnt put his picture on the peso

"(guess how he decided)"



I'm going to guess that he had his thumb down.  Wonder if he wore some of that leafy headwear like Caesar.

Bush was a great Governor.
Huge surpluses, NCLB, he did not stop an execution based on media nor political pressure and he helped the GOP take over the Texas Senate for the first time in 40 years.

Clinton left Americans with an economic recession, the greatest decline in the markets in history and a world terrorism problem.
The media did their best to blame Enron, Bush and anything that was not Democrat.
Clinton did not even try to prevent a recession and there was no talk of it.  Shocked

I've read that some economists state a recession is a part of the cycle of a free market and is unavoidable. Admittedly, I honestly don't know enough about it.

I remember the media silence from the recession in 2000. Although with gas prices and other things as high as they are now, people get more of a physical feeling of the economy and look to point fingers.

He is certainly NOT too youNG but definately no experience. But that does not really bother me, I question his love for this country and his motives. He is much roo liberal for me.

NCLB is a politician's slogan; nothing more.

You want educational reform?  Quit making teachers do the job of parents.  They got their own kids to worry about.  '

Our public and private school systems suck because parents have failed.  Not the schools.  Not the government.

Of course, our culture encourages this level of parenting.

Nice cliches.
