Really? Before he was a US Senator, he was a “community organizer”. How is that a qualification for the Presidency?

Do a little research and you'll see that he has been much more than a community organizer.

I guess my point is that we would be making a big mistake to dismiss Obama as a weak or weird candidate. He's not. If he gets the Democratic nomination, he's going to be a much stronger candidate than the comments on this thread would lead one to believe.

I wish my resume was as impressive as Barack's.

Given the strong anti-GOP sentiment that seems to have permeated the public, I think Obama would have a very good chance to defeat McCain.

Agreed.

It might make us feel better to dismiss him thus, but that won't actually help us in the general election.

Only by taking him and his message very, very seriously do we have some hope in November.

I do not regard him as a weak candidate. His socialist ideology makes him a threat to individual liberty (and since it requires ignoring the 5th and 14th Amendments, unfit for the office). Obviously a large portion of the American people do not recognize this threat or care, addicted as they are to welfare of one form or another, which makes them a threat to our liberty as well. I’ll do what I can to protect my assets from both Obama and the American people.
