Obama

Now the media has a new "darling" to make over--Barack Obama, a two year Senator, originally from Kenya I believe. It would seem that Americans would be a little leery of charismatic figures after what happened with George W. and the Iraq war fiasco. Slick rhetoric does not a good President make.
It would seem that the media should have learned a lesson about covering worthwhile stories after having watched George go through his bag of propaganda tricks to dupe them and the American public. I guess wisdom and smarts are two different things.
Obama has a knack of saying the right things to sway people but rhetoric alone is not a good stand in for experience. Give him another ten years, then he might have the maturity and experience to govern a nation. That might be sufficient time for his real character to be known. Something people overlooked in George W. Bush's case.
