11/08/04: Obama admits he wouldn't know what he's doing

I wonder what he learned in less than 4 years???

 

Which is why I still think the Palin pick was a huge mistake. I know people contend she didn't lose the election and cite stats that people didn't vote against McCain because of her. But, after picking her, McCain lost claim to the Experience message of his campaign and moved to a Change message.

That shift from experience to change played right into Obama's strengths. That kind of shift in message doomed Hillary first during the primaries and then it doomed McCain in the election.

Obama is right that he is not experienced enough to be president. Hopefully, he will pick people in his cabinet who can make up for that. That is about the best I can hope for.

 

Obama doesn't have the luxury of being able to appoint qualified people because he has so many political debts to repay.

 

I am sure he is indebted to both qualified and unqualified people. Keep in mind, I am not talking about people I agree with politically. I am just talking about people with experience.

 

But what kind of experience? The folks that originally cast him in the role of candidate aren't capable...the Soros', Ted Kennedy & the lot...or wouldn't be taken seriously if they were to run for office.

 

I can't think of much I would ever agree with Ted Kennedy on but I think it would be hard to discount his experience in Washington and in the world.

 

...or his experience driving over bridges...or in bars...

 

I didn't say I thought the guy was a good person but the topic is experience to be President.

 

Luckily the people saw fit to reject him each time he made a bid for higher office.

Did you guys know that pre-Roe v Wade Teddy was a fairly outspoken opponent of abortion? Now he is as big a supporter of it as Obama and the rest of the looney left.

 

Now? You wrote now. Roe v. Wade was 38 years ago. 'Now' is hardly the correct term. Why do you do that? Why do you make yesterday's news appear as the latest scoop? and let me ask you something else, if I may? Wouldnt you prefer that someone like Ayers or Obama's mother had an abortion so as not to allow these two horrible, detestable people to muck up this country?

 

About how I feel about Ted Kennedy too. He is a miserable personage, but he is a hell of a dedicated politician that is a performer in his profession.

 

Getting back to the original point....

Since Obama uttered those words, what has changed? He thinks by voting "present" and taking policy views based on polling suddenly makes him ready to be President?
Mighty high opinion of himslef, huh?
And what about you lemmings out there? What changed? What transformed him into a Presidential candidate so quickly? He knew then that he wasn't ready (he knows now that he isn't ready) but the crush you have on this novice has blinded you to the truth.

 

I'm guessing the (speechless) lemmings are hating youtube more and more by the day. This stuff in the past is supposed to be forgotten. If it is dug up, all that matters is that you (supposedly) have an agenda. Not the actual content of the video.
I think they're doing good by skipping over this thread. The attacks on McCain (who nobody supports anyway) were getting worn out and might not have stood for a valid defense here.

 

Yet you guy's are attacking John McCain yourselfs, he was the only candidate that the Republicans had all the rest fell by the wayside quite early on. Now if this is not the case why did they pick him in the first place, lets be honest here the guy did the best he could considering the conditions so why chop him down now? If you want to critizese or turn on someone then why not those who picked him as the candidate, dont blame him for loosing blame the party for not matching the Democratic machine.

 

I try to look on the bright side of it. Since a Republican was almost certainly going to lose this election, at least it didn't end the future chances of someone who I would like to see be president someday.

 

DeOrc: I do blame the party! They're a failure. They're morons. The only defense I can have for them is in Stu Joe's statement right here. It is likely that McCain was selected at this time, knowing he was a long shot, and that he could afford the seemingly inevitable loss on his resume. He won't be back.

I don't know that I fully believe in the nomination process. I think it's severely flawed and in the end, they can pick whoever they want while letting everybody feel like they had a say in it.

 

You dont know something? Wow! Whats wrong? Was Hannity not on last night?
