Is Obama Truly the Best?

I agree the Barack Obama is a great guy. He is the best friend everyone dreams of. He represents a new age of America where everyone works together to make crucial changes. However, I am also unsure of whether Barack Obama is fit to be the president of the United States. A job that takes more than charisma and character, but the skills to be in charge of the entire government system affecting, in return affecting every single citizen in the country. The presidential race is not a popularity contest, wherein Mr. Obama would trump over all his running mates, but a decision that will affect generations to come.

As for that he has great policy that is strictly on opinion basis. The Iraq War seems to have been extremely “mishandled” as some have put it, but to take the troops home immediately seems like a premature idea. Everyone wants what best for our troops, but could pulling them out right away eventually result in loosing all that they have spent many years working on? Again, this goes back to the point of Obama’s experience. Even though the idea of pulling out the troops seems great in theory, is it really going to be best for America in the end?

I agree with "Under One Nation" on the questioning Barack Obama's contribution to the United States. As he is very popoular among the masses, he is lacking popularity in the political arena. He has the least experience of all the other candiates. I think his whole campaign is a show. His whole political platform is a fairy tale. He needs to jump back into reality and deal with the issues that face us as Americans. He tackles issues in a way that we would want him to, rather than how they should be from a pratical perspective. He thinks like the average American, rather than the leader of a nation. I think he would be much better suited as being an American rather than leading and representing America. If he sharpened up on his leadership skills rather than buddy skills, he would have a chance. The fact that he relates to everyone, and that he's telling us what we want to hear may get him elected. If he has all the attributes to be the next president of the United States, I'm not so sure of that.
