Obama Lack Experience to be President
While the Rev. Jeremiah Wright continues to play out in sound bites on cable TV and talk radio, it isn't Wright who might be president.

It is Barack Obama who wants that job. The Rev. Wright is consistent in his preaching that America bore some responsibility for the 9-11 attacks and in his conspiratorial lunacy about "how the government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color," but Obama has been inconsistent in what he has said about issues that will have a far greater impact than the outrage produced by his former pastor.

2. Your posts have really changed.
I used to find you somewhat even-handed. Now it's all attack, all the time. Almost always inflammatory.

I'm sad to have to put you on ignore. But that's what I'm going to do.

38. Cal Thomas appears in a variety of papers around the country
People that are used to reading the editorial pages of papers know his tripe for what it is. I'm surprised you don't know that.

as we watch today another 4 super delegates disagree with this writer and apparently your opinion-we're moving on, maybe you should too because Hillary Clinton will NOT be the nominee for president no matter how many of her shills write these kinds of articles or no matter how many of her supporters here try and tell us otherwise-it's over-she is done

8. I don't think he's ready to be President either.
He's just so naive. Having said that I think he'd be a great President in 10 years or so. I wish he had waited to run but when teenagers want you to run I guess you have to listen to them. :crazy:

28. It's probably in a bunch of papers because that jerkwad is syndicated.
But Cal Thomas is still a jerkwad so please stop linking to him.

20. Cal Thomas thinks that Obama lacks experience? Not exactly surprised, he probably thinks McCain is
too moderate too.

But what do YOU think? Because what a RW columnist and Fox News hosts thinks is of no interest for me.

22. Yet the "more experienced" (older) candidates...
...either have the wrong goals or are deeply intertwined with the DC elite and Beltway politics. You know that either a McCain or Clinton administration will be crawling with the "regulars" from the Beltway.

36. Nothing seems to be working.
I'm starting to think they're going to rotate memes from now until Clinton drops out - much like a Top 40 station has its 20-song playlist.

So, here it is:

Lack Of Experience
Unelectable
Behind In Electoral Votes

We'll also see these:

Obama Should Drop Out for The good Of The Party
Obama Is Only Winning Because The Primary Was Flawed
If Florida/Michigan/Both were Counted, Clinton would Be Winning
Voter Disenfranchisement!!!11!1!eleventy-one!

And don't forget the 'scandals' or 'gates':

Wright
Rezco
Ayers
Sinclair (as a last resort - probably just as Obama clinches in pledged delegates)

These guys are nothing if not utterly predictable.
