In the following article, Chuck Norris states and gives proof of the obvious and that is the gross inexperience of Barack Obama to lead this country to a picnic much less through a financial crisis of the magnitude not seen since the days of the great depression. I mean let's face it folks, even his running-mate said Obama was not ready to lead and only changed his tune when he hit the short list for VP! I know I sound like a broken record but time is short; here is the article

I n other words, 0bama can't make a decision and stick to it because he is afraid someone won't like it. This is why he has thrown everyone he views as a threat under the bus.
He will not be able to make the necessary decisions for fear of them being unpopular. In essence, he hasn't got enough backbone for the job, and just isn't "man" enough.
He is not a leader, just a follower... he is best suited for low to middle management and not for a leadership position anywhere... certainly not president.

Cherylpearls.. you obviously have no clue as to the true puppetmasters who control Washington.
It ain't Cheney and friends.
Next time, while not actually post a comment instead of this hit and run crap... or are you afraid of the responses?

That would be unlike the current administration, right? Because we know who the puppetmaster is in this one - Cheney and friends. Somehow that does not seem less scary to me.

Rodney, I read the article and I have this to say about it.
John F. Kennedy had no previous executive experience before he became President of the United States and I don't recall him running our economy into the ground. He, to use one of Sarah Palin's talking points, "took on" the Soviet Union and Cuba during the Cuban Missile Crisis and did not blink.
John McCain has no executive experience as defined in the article.
Personally, having executive experience is not high on my list of priorities right now.

I forgot to add, Rodney, that anything Joe Biden said against Obama while he was running against him can be taken with a grain of salt considering that they were competing for the same slot. Both Biden and Hillary Clinton support Obama. If they had serious concerns about his ability to lead it would be very unethical for them to promote him as the best man for the job.

Spalladino,
Thanks for the comment.
I believe if you will search history even further you will find that although JFK performed admirably in the Cuban missle crisis it was his gross inexperience which put us there in the first place. At his first meeting with then premier Kruschef the premier sized him up as indecisive and immature and inexperienced and so he then believed he could "sneak" these missles in under his nose. JFK also, in the negotiations with the USSR in that crisis made more concessions than a more experienced and mature leader would have.
In the recent past(a couple of days or so)Joe Biden said that in the first part of an Obama administration his mettle would be tested by some foreign power and for once I agree with Joe Biden. The problem I have with that is the unanswerable question of just how will Obama handle it! I don't know, you don't know and no one know's nor do they have any inkling of the answer from his past experience. At least from McCain you have life experience of how he handles himself under pressure from the enemy and that says tons for McCain.
By the way, just because Joe Biden said it while he was running against him for the nomination or even Hillary and they are now trying to get their man in office doesn't change the fact that they once believed it enough to voice it. Now it's just damage control!

You don't think that McCain's mettle would be tested as well? Keep in mind that, yes, he was a prisoner of war and any vet will tell you that he carries psychological baggage from that experience, to what degree is of course unknown. Were I an overseas enemy I would also wonder how he would hold up under intense pressure compared to the younger and outwardly calmer Barack Obama.
You believe that Biden and Clinton actually believed every bit of rhetoric they spoke during their campaigns? That's pretty naive, don't you think?

The fact that you can critisize Obama for being inexperienced is ridiculous. Have you seen who McCain picked for his VP? Obama has good ideas for the economy, and a great thing about him is that if he wins, hes going to surround himself with intelligent, helpful people, even if they don't share his views, just like Abe Lincoln.

I'd say Chuck Norris is wrong...but that sounds like a one-way ticket to Roundhouse-Kick City: Population PAIN!
But seriously, if the thought of Sarah Palin someday running the country (let's face it, with McCain's age that's a real possability) doesnt scare you guys and gals into voting Obama..the world is truly doomed.
