This is the kind of crap that various right-wing organizations are coming out with about the brother....

D'you know what I think? I think that if he gets much closer to winning, he's gonna go the way of Dr Martin Luther King, Malcolm X, JFK.....

what is worrying is how someone with so little experience in politics can become the next President of the most powerful nation in the world

mind you he cant do much worse than Dubya!

maybe that's not such a bad thing getting someone with little experience of politics... the ones that have experience know the system and how to line their own pockets.

as for the radical muslim articles... only in america! we all know the news channels out there have to deal with their own politics... but when they blatantly make up the news to ensure their paycheck it makes you wonder if its worse that they're doing it in the first place, or that people are actually falling for it!

JFK was only 43 when he took up the presidency - so would have been similarly inexperienced. Obama spoke out against the Iraq War at the time - unlike Clinton who u-turned on this issue so perhaps his foreign policy thinking isn't that bad?

Bonny Boy

To be honest, I expect the Republicans will lay off him until such time as he is selected as the Democratic candidate. Then will be the time they will go on the attack - no need to derail him at this stage.

The Dean

He's a dead certainty to be the Democratic nominee - and a dead certainty to win the election and reach the White House.

Then he's dead - a certainty........... [(C) Puns R Us]

Actually he's a breath of fresh air. You only have to listen to McCain or Clinton, and you know you're getting the same old, same old. And as we all know - in US politics, the Pres's policies don't actually matter........

Inselaffen

he may have only been 43 but he had 14 years experince in Congress. So a little more experienced tahn Obama

JKF - U.S. House of Representatives from 1947 to 1953, and in the U.S. Senate from 1953 until 1961

One of three boys reared for Senate first by Rose's father the Mayor of Boston then more obviously by Joe Sen richer than Croeces from rackateering.
JFK took the mantle by default but -was probably the most able.It all started with his Memorial Day Speech 30.5.1946.
I wonder what he would have achieved if LHO(allegedly) missed the target?
The Jack Nicolson movie 'Hoffa' is an excellent watch re JFK's 'credibility' for the job.His dabs on Marilyn and the secretary who swam with the fishes clearly demonstrated the ex offico sinicures of high office occupied him greatly though.

Eva

Confucius

I never knew you were so deep...

Eva

Thank you.........others call it madness

The Dean

I thought he WAS a Muslim, but I'm told he isn't.

His dad was wasn't he?

Eva

He was adopted very young wasn't he?

His father was a Kenyan of Muslim origin. His step-father was an Indonesian who had some Muslim heritage, and the Senator attended a school in Indonesia that had a large Muslim student body up to the age of 5 (but was a secular school). (see snopes for a full debunk of the Obama-Muslim myth)...

One of the smarter US columnists points out that Apostasy is particularly heinous in the eyes of Islam, and that if you are born Muslim you either remain so or become an Aspostate. Therefore either Obama will be regarded by hard-line Islamists as either a brother in arms, or will be regarded as a turn-coat infidel (this is the argument put forward, not my own opinion)....
