TIME FOR OBAMA TO GET REAL !!

FOR THE TIME BEING, THIS IS ALL THAT IS KNOW ABOUT OBAMA - AND IT IS SCARY LITTLE:

1. Has really good speech writers. And...
1a. He knows how to deliver a really well written speech.

2. Bright and charismatic man.
2a. Cool wife; an asset.

3. Most liberal member of the U.S. Senate: 65 of 66 votes.
3a. He is sooooo sooooo new at all this, it is hard to hold such glaring, imature imbalance against him.

4. The WORLD is entirely new to him. Just a few weeks ago, he did not know where Pakistan is on the map.
4a. If elected, he will to be the MOST INEXPERIENCED FOREIGN HEAD OF STATE IN THE WORLD.

5. Still has student loans outstanding.
5a. No worries. With big salary raise as President, he will pay those off with less stress.

6. Has not uttered any specifics about his CATATONIC MANTRA ABOUT CHANGE.
6a. Where is the beef, Senator?

Now that he knows where Pakistan is, what does he propose to do about the BIGGEST THREAT TO THE U.S. IN THE WORLD, emanating from Al Qaeda and the Taliban in Pakistan?

SOMEBODY TELL US: WHAT IS AN "OBAMA". And ... what happens if/when he gets elected?

SOMEBODY TELL US: DO WE HAVE A BETTER OPTION?

TIME FOR CLINTON (HILLARY) TO GET REAL!! FOR THE TIME BEING, ALL THAT WE HEAR AND SEE FROM HER (THERE IS A LOT) SEEN - DOES NOT APPEAR TO RESONATE WITH ENOUGH VOTERS. Is she history in two weeks?

And then, there is McCain...

What Do You Think?

    Many people ages 21-35 are swept away by Obama. He is after all very charismatic. However, part of me sides with Barns in that getting carried away with charisma and ignoring actual substance can lead to trouble. Remember though, this country elected no charisma OR substance TWICE!! At least it's good to have one in a president's arsenal.

      I "kinda" think that a legitimate contender to the office of President Of The United States SHOULD BLOODY KNOW WHERE PAKISTAN IS. After all, it is the most dangerous place on earth. I doubt Obama comprehends that, by the way.

      Call Barns a fool, but he also thinks that Obama should know who Dmitry Medvedev is. A couple days ago OBAMA DID NOT KNOW.

      Yes.... Considering that Medvedev is Putin's sock puppet, EVERYBODY NEEDS TO KNOW HIS NAME.

      After all, as Afghanistan is the most dangerous place on earth, Putin is the most dangerous human on earth.

    His wife is an asset? Common. I wonder if he gets elected, will she tell everybody that she is proud of the U.S. just for the time he will be in the White House?

      I love how you take one misquoted line from obama. Who by the way doesn't use notes and speaks from her heart, then you turn it into she isn't prud of her country. She was proud of the political process. For the last 20 years what else would lead you to be proud of the political process

        I would appreciate you giving us the proper quote then, just in case I and hundreds of thousands watching her on TV lost our hearing, and just in case the news agencies who reported that very awful statement. You should think about that in context that this woman is a likely first lady. I hope that when she becomes first lady, she will find other things about the U.S. to be proud of.

    He is such a breath of fresh air. I am afraid that will not do the job. The world is very complex and dangerous place. I cannot envision Obama being able to stare down Putin, the Islamists, North Korea and so on. We may all find out if I am right soon enough, though.

    Obama belongs in the Senate for at least 2 more terms. He should serve on a couple of meaningful committees (intelligence and foreign affairs come to mind). Once he has some meat on his bones, not just personality and oratory skills, he should run for the office again. He is 8 - 12 years too early.

        Idiot,again. Right. Lets give him 4 years to prove he is ready for the job. You are an idiot. This is not a job as a checker at the market. This is the President Of The U.S. I for one don't want some inexperienced speechmaker making decisions that effect the world, including you and me. Let him make decisions and decide afterwards if they were good or bad.

          Next time you need major surgery, why don't you go to a first year intern. If you survive, the intern did a good job. If you die, it doesn't matter. He was a really nice guy and you gave him a chance to open up your chest and see if he can actually find your heart. You are an idiot.

              You are kidding, right? Obama has no experience running a business, has never done that, leading a large enterprise of any kind, has never done that, foreign relations, he has never had anything to do with that. He is a 2 year junior Senator from Illinois who has no experience at all necessary to be the President Of The U.S. It is idiotic for anybody with a brain to not know that.

    Please be avised that Obama does has substance if you want to look at them go to his website. They are detailed and very good. He isn't that liberal that was posted by a conseritive group. Barns must have a bias agianst him. Obama is more then change.

      Nonsense.

      Barns hopes for a triumph of SUBSTANCE vs. STYLE.

      For now, Obama is NOTHING BUT STYLE.

      Rather than throw "concepts" at us, MAKE A LIST OF ALL THOSE THINGS (MEANINGFUL THINGS THAT OBAMA PROPOSES TO DO TO BRING ABOUT THE MUCH NEEDED "CHANGE" HE CONTINUES TO SCREAM ABOUT!

      Make a list (1,2,3,4 ....??).

      Give Barns something of SUBSTANCE to get behind.

          5) One of the biggest differences between him and Clinton is that he is willing to communicate with the leaders of countries like Iran, Pakistan, and Syria. These are the most dangerous countries in the world and I completely agree with his commitment to opening the lines of communication with their leaders.

          You are a fool. How are you going to pay for all these vague superficial notions. Obama has no idea how the world works. He is a TV show produced by Oprah Winfrey. If you bring the troops home in 6 months (that is not what Obama is screaming), what do you think you bring home along with them?

      Oh yes! Italian politics are a true model on governance. If memory serves, Italy has its 60th government since World War II ...

      Barns is particularly fond of the Italian people! He lived in Italy sometime ago and has traveled there often over the years.

      It is wonderful to see the emotion the Italians pour into the political process. The heat of those emotions is only matched by the shifting of those emotions to .... worthwhile pursuits such as love and food and music.

      Now: if we could just get Obama, Clinton (Hillary) and McCain to sing and dance!
