Another Obama supporter drinking the kool-aid. Just once I'd like an Obama supporter to give a clear and rational explanation of what qualifies the guy for the position beyond "hope" and other platitudes. If anything, the guy has only shown that it's all about him, not what he can do for the American people.

Hillary didn't run in 2004 because that's exactly what everyone expected - hoped, depending on one's POV - she would do. Only she saw how she would be hammered for her lack of experience at the time, to say how she and Bill probably felt given the mood of the country that no Dem was going to beat Bush anyway. Hillary promised the people of NY who voted for her that she would serve her complete term. Obama did the same as well, but unlike her, that was yet another promise broken.

Obama is at best Kerry-lite, his ability to speak probably his only asset that surpasses the last Democratic candidate who ran for the Presidency. Beyond that, he's nothing more than some slick hustler looking to score the big one.
