Barack Obama is too inexperienced to be president

Experience is the most overrated badge a presidential contender can carry. Experience in what? Political corruption? Back stabbing? deception? granted many presidents have made good use of their political experience while in office. Especially the likes of Richard Nixon, who beautifully used his political knowledge in the watergate scandal. Or Maybe Jimmy Carter, All his political experience could not keep America from appearing weak and flustered during the hostage crisis in Iran. Experience is not a just tool in measuring how successful a president might be. To quote you "He is using his inexperience to persuade people's minds" First off, how is that a by product of his inexperience, an ability to persuade? The United States biggest problem is a problem of ideological divide based on the biases of the baby bomber generation. and for that generation, A democrat has always been essentially a flower child (even if it has been hidden, ex. hilary clinton) or a vietnam war vet. and these party ideologies have been dividing this country further and further through their "experience". Now we will turn back to the inexperienced Barack Obama, and his "persuasion". Yes he is exploiting persuasion. he is persuading people to stop be ignorant to the truths about us as country. Iraq is Iraq, what does it matter if you supported it or you didn't, it matters to people with these bedrocked beliefs. but either way, on 2008 when whoever enters office, Iraq and the troops don't care whether you were for it or not, they want to know what do we do NOW. Barack Obama is a voice of reason regardless of if he is experienced or not. he is not overtly religious. Though some people hold a presidents religion dear in this country, lets not forget that religious rule is the down fall of the Middle East, and George Bush (an experienced president as you would say) has informally invited us to join the demise that we witness in the fertile crescent. Your defenses for "experience" are moot and shallow at best, I will leave you a post I wrote in defense for Barack Obama, that points to the single attribute he has that no other presidential candidate can claim: "it is important to note Barack's Obama single attribute that differentiates him from all the other plausible candidates in a truly important way. He is not a child of the 60s. Every other candidate is using ideology from two separate and divided groups, The vietnam vets, and the "hippies". the basis of their beliefs is the bedrock of their presidential campaign, and those same beliefs have been dividing the country for the past 40 years. Barack Obama may be young and inexperienced, but the flaws of those truths is cancelled out by the flaws produced by the other candidates experience. Our generation will pay for the faults of our parents generation, it is time that we have a president that will not represent the vet or the flower child, but represent reason. It is time that this country realizes that the true problem lays within ourselves and our global credibility is due to the way we compose ourselves and not due to jealous or idealistic views of other nations. It is time for a change of life experience in the oval office that better shows the makeup of the U.S. today, and that is Barack Obama's greatest asset to this country, an asset that no other presidential hopeful can claim." I invite you to insight other reasons as to why Barack Obama is not the best choice for president, but do consider the other candidates, and understand that experience is not an issue in the election.
