This guy is like nothing I have ever thought, in my wildest dreams, could be considered as a serious potential candidate for the presidency. A first term senator and only two years on the job with no other experience in his job profile and he wants to lead the free world? - what in the world is wrong with this picture?
There is a huge disconnect here and for the life of me I can not put my finger on it - other than to say " why not pick the first guy or gal that comes down the street?"
This guy is a complete nobody - he is a complete zero - and I don't want to here that he has a clean slate so he carries on political baggage to the office.
What is happening here is the press is falling over this guy like he the 'second coming'. He's just another liberal in the same mode as Bill Clinton only with a lot less experience but just as liberal if not more so.

Who is Barak Obama and What does he Believe - TVC
December 14, 2006 -- Senator Barak Obama (D-IL) has only been a U.S. Senator for two years but he is being promoted in the media as the Democrat's best hope for winning the White House in 2008.Sen. Obama recently traveled to New Hampshire, where he was warmly welcomed by Democrat supporters. In November, Obama gave a keynote speech on AIDS at Pastor Rick Warren's Saddleback Church in Southern California.
Sen. Obama speaks as a man of faith. He attends Trinity United Church of Christ (UCC) church in Chicago, which describes itself as a church that disavows “the pursuit of middleclassness, and pledges allegiance to all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.
Trinity has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa; and is a congregation committed to the historical education of African people in diaspora; it is committed to liberation, restoration, and economic parity.At the UCC General Synod in 2005, the denomination adopted a resolution calling for equal marriage rights for all regardless of gender. This includes homosexuals and transgendered individuals.
Sen. Obama's church background is clearly liberal and pro-homosexual. His voting record shows him to be a typical secularist liberal. Human Events notes that Obama has a 100% rating from Americans for Democratic Action, NARAL Pro-Choice America, the National Organization for Women, the NAACP and the National Education Association.
He says he believes that marriage should be a union of one man and one woman, but voted against the Federal Marriage Amendment in 2006.While an Illinois state senator, Obama voted present on a bill that would keep pornographic books and video stores 1,000 feet away from schools and churches.
In 1999, he voted against a requirement to make schools filter internet pornography from school computers. As a state senator he also voted present twice on a bill that would ban partial-birth abortion and was absent on a third vote. In 2001, he voted present on a parental notification bill and in 2002 he voted against a bill to protect babies that survived failed abortions.
"Senator Obama is a very charming person and he may likely become the Democrat's presidential candidate in 2008", said TVC Executive Director Andrea Lafferty. "But I hope that Christians will pay attention to his actions and his voting record not his words in deciding whether or not to support him in 2008".
"He has a voting record as far left as John Kerry or Ted Kennedy and his support of abortion and homosexuality make him an anti-life, anti-traditional marriage candidate".
