Let's Get This Out of the Way

Let’s review the arguments against President Obama and DISMISS THEM!

1. "He has no White House experience."

This is true, Obama does not have a father, spouse, or sibling who was president, so it's probably safe to say he hasn't spent a lot of time at the White House. There are probably foreign nationals and lobbyists who have spent more time at the White House than Obama.

2. "He has no presidential campaign experience."

Also true. Obama has not squandered the hopes and dreams of millions of voters by running an ineffective campaign and losing to a candidate that should have been easily beaten. (TWICE!)

3. "He has not planned this, he is just 'seizing the moment.'"

Yes he is! This is what great American leaders do. (Think Washington, Lincoln, Roosevelt, King)

4. "He has a 'political machine' behind him."

True again. However, the people pushing Obama to the forefront are not the political operatives and pundits we've seen for years. His 'machine' consists of vast numbers of people, many on the Internet, who have not given up on America and see him as the best of the candidates for president.

5. "We don't know much about him."

Maybe. However, his record is there if we take the time to look at it. He's written books and spilled his guts about his background. He came out against the war in the beginning, and not when it was politically beneficial to do so. He graduated from Harvard Law School, and again I don't think he had a father, or spouse, or sibling paving the way for him. He's a great orator who inspires people. (we'll never forget THE SPEECH at the last Democratic convention.) He was a community organizer in tough Chicago neighborhoods. If you need more...TAKE the TIME to listen, and visit his website:

One more thing....how much did we 'really' know about our last two presidents?

"Leadership is a combination of strategy and character. If you must be without one, be without the strategy."
