Dissecting Obama's Vulnerabilities for November
NPR ^ | June 11,2008 | Mara Liasson

Posted on 06/11/2008 8:08:57 AM PDT by AmericanMade1776

Democrat Barack Obama is continuing his tour this week of battleground states, where his biggest campaign vulnerability comes from swing voters.

Obama's strengths are obvious. The Illinois senator can draw huge crowds, register millions of new voters and raise money like no other candidate in history. He is also a giant-slayer, meaning he managed to outmaneuver the powerful Clinton machine in a one-on-one contest.

But in the end, Obama wheezed across the finish line. He lost nine of the last 14 primaries, and although Democrats are uniting behind their nominee, there is a lot to make them nervous about Obama's ability to beat rival Sen. John McCain of Arizona, the presumptive Republican nominee, in the fall.

Obama's biggest weakness , he has no experience, and he knows nothing of Defense, or the Military. Not only does he know nothing about the Military, he really seems not to have any real interest in it.

AS for his feet of clay, he is not a Messiah, he is not super human, he is soon going to be a very ,very erring human with so many vulnerablities , that not even the media can make Obama appealing to the American voter.

I’ve talked to a number of perennial Dem voters with no interest in supporting this fraud. I am sure some will be swayed by November, but I think McCain is palatable enough to many of these voters to be comfortable with a McCain Presidency.

I have too, talked with Democrats who are not going to vote for Obama, they are appalled that he is their candidate, and are astounded by how the media supports him.

Obama’s degrading of small town voters who are hurt by economy were not supporting him because they “cling” to religion , guns , and anti-immigrant views.

Thank You! Thank You! Thank You!

I'm just so sick of all the loser and defeatist sentiment being spewed out here. "We're all going to die." Whoa is us. We're going to get killed..." If some don't want to fight then they should at least just shut up and stop being the Jane Fonda useful idiots of the Right.

Obama is Naive... Pastor of 20 years Rev. Wright and his slumlord Convicted Pal Rezko who helped him purchase his home... now Obama finds he “didn’t really know them”

Which leads to another weakness or two... Bad Judge of Character, and gullible.

Interesting these are cast as "strengths" and not one are related to the duties of the POTUS. Is he running for "Crowd Drawer" or "Giant-Slayer"?

It does point out his weakness though, he isn't qualified for the position.

The dems I have talked to that won't vote for him tend to be older and Caucasian. Gonna be hard for a Dem to win without the AARP crowd..

Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-Ill.) votes on crime issues during his tenure in the Illinois state Senate could prove harmful to his effort to win the White House. His opponents and critics are mining his short voting record for campaign fodder.

Barack Obama firmly promised BOTH in November of 2004 and in January of 2006 on Meet The Press that he would definitely NOT run for President or for Vice President in 2008 and that he would serve his full six-year Senate term:

Obama is a liar.
