* Living abroad gives Barack something very important and that is an international perspective.
Which is a very nice tool for any President to have especially in dealing with a complex world.

** <On March 17, 2003, the day Bush issued his 48-hour ultimatum to Saddam Hussein to leave Iraq before the U.S. invasion of Iraq, Obama addressed the largest Chicago anti-Iraq War rally to date in Daley Plaza and told the crowd "It's not too late" to stop the war, though many demonstrators conceded that war appeared inevitable.>

1. i'm going to save this post
I am so sick of people (fundies) saying that Obama has no experience. He has more experience than shrub ever thought about having.

2. It is the Clinton camp is repeating this meme too.

The secret of the big lie is to keep repeating it time after time.

Al Gore invented the internet

John Kerry was coward in Vietnam

Dan Rather made up the story about bush going AWOL

Barack Obama .... He just isn't ready.


BTW I was and always will be a big supporter of John Edwards.
