I see, the most naive man in Politics today wants us to think with his 3 years in the U S senate he is less naive then an American hero with 17 years in the senate. Sorry, Obama it doesn't make sense. Nor does any of your attempts to explain how you would "talk" our way out of being attacked by Muslim radicals. They don't care what your middle name is, they want to kill us. We can't let you hurry that along.

Actually McCain has been in the Senate since 1987, but your observation still gets a pos.

You seem to equate inexperience in high office with an inability to see the truth.

As for the inequality of experience and wisdom, you need only look at Cheney and Rumsefeld, who had dozens of years of experience between them, yet they chose to disregard the military and intel personnel around them, and involve us in a protracted war in Iraq that is bleeding our coffers and our armed forces dry.

Did you have the same doubts about lack of experience, Ani, when they shoved the Shrub at you in 2000? Or is this a new level of caution, learned from the hard realities of the last seven years?

Personally, I've convinced of Obama's capability by one simple fact: he's run a more intelligent, more "experienced," campaign, than any of his Dem or Repug rivals.

And that he spoke out against the war earlier than any of them, too.

Oh get over it, go to the VA hospital...you will see thousands of Heros. McCain was just one of thousands....just like Bob Dole and others, thats doesn't necessarily make him a good candidate. You have to consider ALL the other factors, and when you do, he doesn't measure up. He has been supported by the government, his family, and his wife all his life. The only thing he ever did that ever even closely resembled a job was politics.

McCain has changed his tune because he recognizes what got George Bush elected a second time: fear of the bogeyman!

Tha't why he hired the same advisors that put out that he'd fathered a black baby before the 2000 election.

He confessed to lies in Vietnam under torture and said torture doesn't give truthful answers... up until he stood on Cheney's carpet and caved on his own Anti-Torture Bill... not nieve, just plain untruthful, unscrupulous and inconsistent (flip flopper); senile for sure!

I find it amazing that we conjur up words like"freedom's of", and then put down anyone with a different take on things than ours.

Obama thinking he can solve the problems with terrorists by chatting with them is the most naive thing I have ever heard.

You can only have Peace through Strengh. The Hugs for Thugs diplomacy of Sen Obama will not work. Not ever, Just talking about it he proved how truly naive, and inexperienced he really is about the Presidency.
