I'm voting for Obama because he's qualified, charismatic and progressive -- but his blackness seals the deal.
  • Obama

    Qualified? What the hell has this guy done except talk? If he had taken his short senate career as seriously as Clinton then maybe you would have a point. He squandered a great opportunity to become knowledgeable about foreign policy by failing to convene the committee he chaired (see Boston Globe article that described this travesty) while Clinton worked her ass off getting the job done and educating herself about policy. He not only knows little about government function but he has done nothing to learn. He reminds me more every day of Reagan - put on the rose colored glasses and everything will be just fine! I understand youthful naivete' and the desire for change for change sake but give me a break. We need somebody who not only understands the operations of government but also works constantly to improve that understanding. It's people like you and the rest of the so-called journalists that have given Obama a free ride. When exactly do you plan to start asking him a few questions about his ideas on anything other than empty rhetoric?
