He is a highly educated man (Harvard Law?), from a diverse background (Africa? The slums of chicago? Washington?), who is young enough to realize that he doesn't know everything and who has is not heavily weighted down with religious-based preconceptions of the way the world is.
There is no record of Obama adapting *to the presidency*, but that is true for every candidate. But I don't see how you can say he is not proven to be an adaptable person.

"Obama was born on August 4, 1961 in Honolulu, Hawaii to Barack Obama, Sr. (born in Nyanza Province, Kenya, of Luo ethnicity) and Ann Dunham (born in Wichita, Kansas).[9] His parents met while both were attending the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where his father was enrolled as a foreign student.[10] Obama's parents separated when he was two years old and later divorced.[11] His father went to Harvard University to pursue Ph.D. studies"
not the best source, but it's wikipedia.
hardly a slum-oriented childhood 
Look, I am not saying Obama isn't an intelligent guy, but he just hasn't been tested at all. He has been in the senate, what, 2 years? Give me a break.

but Hussein said his father was an African “goat herder.”????
IN his speech announcing his candidacy, he insisted that though he hadn’t “spent a lot of time learning the ways of Washington” it didn’t matter, since the only thing one needs to know about Washington is that “the ways of Washington must change.”
YOU can question the war our country is currently engaged in....
but questioning Obama’s qualifications for the highest office in the land, not to mention the most powerful position in the world is OFF LIMITS!!!!!

As much as I hate to say it, Hillary has an much experience as anyone running on either side. It's kinda sad to have to admit something positive about her.

Coaster said: romney>huck
way greater. huckabee was governor of a shitbag state whose claim to fame is Tyson Chicken and Walmart. Romney was governor of Massachussetts. I think that says something.
I'm not looney about either of them but Romney is definately the brains of the outfit.
