Barack Obama Has No Beauty Pageant Experience - Can He Lead?

A Detailed Review of Barack Obama's Extensive Legislative Experience

Republicans are giddy with Sarah Palin to distract from the doddering confused, sell-out John McCain. The once "Independent" McCain has finally surrendered what little integrity he may have had in a last ditch effort to grab the Presidency as he shuffeled along on a campaign destined for failure. Now the base has renewed vigor! An under qualified, superstitious, hypocrite, soccer mom fills that need Republicans have to avoid personal intimidation by appointing reflections of themselves rather than intelligent, competent "elites" to the highest offices on Earth. In a purely political trick McCain picked the perfect Republican V.P. An unqualified, government hating, poseur.
