Stop Him Before He Gets More Experience

Stop Him Before He Gets More Experience

This is an awesome article. I read it again for the second time while sitting in my programming class this morning waiting for the professor to show up (is it the snow or have we really frightened her away?)...

The issue being discussed is the amount of time that Sen. Obama has had in Washington. In my mind this is such a NON-issue. Really! Did seasoning in Washington help the current President become a better leader? Did it help him to better understand the process (of the people, by the people, and for the people). Did it make him and his administration better able to run things?

H**L no, it didn't!

Fact is, that no administration has left behind the American people more blatantly than this one. No leader has been so out of touch with what is really going on in the minds of the people they are supposedly working *for* that it would be almost ridiculous if it weren't so devastatingly lethal.

But I digress... The fact that Obama has not become a robot of the political machine is truly one of the most refreshing aspects about his campaign and what he represents. The people really do matter to him. He listens. He understands. And he wants to change politics. He's had plenty of experience doing that.

Pay no attention to anyone who claims that Barack's lack of experience on the hill will lead him to make bad decisions. We've been living with "The Decider" for nearly 8 years now, and if you ask me we could do with a lot less of that kind of "experience"!

A LOT less.
