Obama lacks experience for job

Barack Obama was sworn in as a Senator Jan. 4, 2005 and Time Magazine designated him "One of the world's most influencial people" less than three months later.

Less than six months later, they crowned him, "One of the 10 people who could change the world."

Obama is a Senate Back Bencher who has done nothing in the two years he's been there.

Is Barack Obama presidential material? No. He's a political suit who is young, energetic, handsome, liberal, black and has no experience at all that would qualify him to be president of any American company let alone president of the United States.

If this were a contest about looks and style, Obama would have an edge. If it were a competition about best orator, he should win. But it's neither.

Regardless of political party, our president must have the credentials and especially a world view to be a credible leader.

He must also be respected and even feared by those who hate and want to destroy America.

Whether a President wins debates and popularity contests is irrelevant.

It only matters that our president has the credentials and pursues American interests first.

We need the best commander-in-chief available in this war against radical Islam and that's not Barack H. Obama.
