What is wrong with the 35 year old "fry cook." He could very well be the better choice. Seriously, look at some of these politicians, grown men who have large wallets and owe people. At least the "fry cook" would not owe some special interest clown (well other then Ronald, Wendy, and the BK guy).

Yes.

He was born in the United States and meets the age requirement.

I doubt the presidential election rarely produces the "best and most qualified canidate." It is just the best system we have at the moment. For example, most of you would not think I had the required experience, but I know I would do better then those clowns running now.

For example, take all issues off the table, just leave the war. Your "choice" is to vote for the guy who caws like a hawk or you vote for the guy that coos like a dove . Who knows what you will get from either. The more experienced issue will always come down to who is older, not who is most qualified. A lot of the "issues" that are talked about concerning who should be president don't even center around presidential issues. Now I bet you think I'm voting for Obama. I'm not.

The OP question is part of the problem. Instead of additing up the positive qualities of a canidate, people spend more time adding up the "whats wrong" list. That is why the only right answer to the OP would be the only qualities that can be quantified:

He was born in the United States and meets the age requirement.

notice how Obama hasen't said how he was going to do all of the things he is promising to do if elected.

f8lranger4x4 · 09-07-2008, 19:44

no simply said

SW342 · 09-07-2008, 20:00

Again....I say NO

NRA_guy · 09-08-2008, 06:24

Yes . . . but not of the United States.

Aikidoka · 09-09-2008, 09:33

No. Nuff Said.

Putting Osama Obama in charge of the country is like putting the paperboy in charge of the newspaper.

DenaliPark · 09-11-2008, 16:09

Obama wins the presidency and mark my words he could, it's all over Mr & Mrs America, we will not recover from a second idiot calling 1600 Pennsylvania ave home in the past 30 years. No, we cannot survive another Jimmy Carter and thats just what we'd get in this closet muslims administration...

Hondov65 · 09-14-2008, 19:23

I think so at least that's how I'm voting he can talk the talk hopefully he can walk the talk.

Lady Glock · 09-14-2008, 20:14

He's dangerous. He has absolutely NO useful experience that would convince me he is ready to represent our country.

striker6126 · 09-14-2008, 20:27

I hear N Korea might have a Presidential opening , I think he has the right mind set for that job.

I don't think we are allowed to use the word "boy" in the same sentence as "Obama". It violates his civil rights or something.

Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton will organize a rally outside your house tomorrow morning.

NO NO NO!

Racism huh......where do you see the racism?
I see a gun forums common interest and opinion being expressed.
Oh, and some good ole red blooded, freedom loving Americans!
Sorry, but you are the enemy to most here........whether you feel it's fair or unfair.

You should listen to what he says. Across the board weapons bans, tremendous tax increases, nationalising business. He is an avowed Marxist. Do some research and see for yourself.

William Ayers, Bernadette Dohrn, William Wright, Pfleuger, the Fanny Mae/Freddy Mac fiasco where he was the #2 recipient of funds. The list is endless.

Heads of terrorist islamic countries hopes he wins. Does that say anything?

Good luck and best wishes to you.

Naaa. The LA Times referred to him as "The Magic Negroe " and no one got upset because the press is in the tank for democrats.

What makes me an enemy to anyone in here...?

I'm red blooded, love freedom, and was born and raised in America just like you...

You could be perceived as the enemy because you have been a member for exactly 6 days, have two posts and are cheerleading for perhaps the most anti-gun Presidential candidate in history. JMHO....

Wow, that's a whole lot of people.

Just because 38M watched does not mean they will be voting for him. You should always know what both sides say.

I think the fact that so many watched his speech is also a sign of great interested (38+ million watched, according to the Nielsen ratings) in his candidacy.

I am looking forward to watching the RNC next week and of course, the Presidential debates... I think with Pallin being tapped by McCain, the VP debate will be very interesting to watch.

If Obama is elected (which I think he will be), I don't think much will change around our Second Amendment rights.

I agree. I think he will be elected and I dont think he or his administration is going to hurt our abilities/rights to own our glocks. The right to carry is a state right anyways. I think this nation is ready for a change from the past 8 years. It is because of this pervasive notion that I think that he will win. And Palin???Are you kidding me?

That could change if a bill is approved by the Senate and signed by the President. If the President is democrat and the house is majority democrats, they could change it from states rights to a federal issue

The type of CHANGE Obama is capable of isn't what this country needs. He hasn't truly outlined any PLAN except he's going to lower taxes and increase spending...how do you think he's going to accomplish that? He can't do both so which one do you think he is most likely to concentrate on?

What are your issues against Gov. Palin? She's the one person on the ticket that actually has some experience with economic issues.

17z · 09-21-2008, 21:59

Obama said that if he is president,he will pass all gunlaws to be at the state legislatures thing. I myself have told his campaign workers that I will hold him accountable to that wording. Otherwise,,,,,,,,, I will be voting for MCAIN/PALIN ticket in November. I just do not trust Obama?Biden ticket as of when this soap oprea story started. I believe in life,liberty,and the pursuit to have the 2nd Admendment not ever to be infringed as signed by our founding fathers and the Supreme Court. 17z,Omaha,Ne.
