Obama sucks for several reasons, but the primary one, believe it or not, isn’t his lack of experience, that was just a good reason not to have elected him. The primary reason he sucks is because his IDEAS suck. He is a quasi-socialist liberal. I’d take a conservative 7-11 owner over Obama.

You're preaching to the choir, Paradox!

No one here at Free Republic has anything but disdain for O's ideas and contempt for the man himself.

People post articles like this one because they want to bandy about and polish arguments which can be used with people who aren't die-hard Conservatives like ourselves.

In the case of O, I can't start a discussion with my dyed-in-the-wool liberal family member or coworker by labelling O's ideas "sucky." I have to be more indirect and subtle, and suggest that he merely lacked experience. Such a premise won't immediately close down all channels of communication.

Once they've allowed themselves to be convinced that, hey, O really did possess zero executive experience before his nomination is it possible to innocently inquire: "I wonder why the Democratic Party would nominate someone with such weak creditentials? Could it perhaps be because of his race?

I am totally with you. Actually, I'll start my conversations about Obama sometimes with "you know, I kinda feel sorry for the guy..." (while holding back my lunch)..

Then I'll go on about the guy being in over his head, how even he had said originally that he did not have enough experience to be President, yadda yadda...
