Is Barack Obama experienced enough to be our president?

Dear friends,

One of the most specious arguments that people make against Senator Obama becoming the president of the United Staes is: He doesn't have enough experience...

At least to me, that does not make sense. Moreover, anyone who has ever started a new job should be able to follow me through the following scenario. It is: If, for example, you are a janitor of a huge building, for several years, then you change employers and start working for someone who gives better pay and has a smaller place to keep clean, you will still be quite inexperienced, regarding your new duties. Do you agree? Likewise, no one is qualified to be either the president or a janitor, from the very start of that particular gig. Dig?

Besides, Senator Obama will have many competent advisers, as well as other managers, just as all of those who preceded him into the Oval Office did. People who argue about him not having experience act as if he will be doing all of the work by himself. At any rate, , if you look at George Bush's horrendous double-performance, then the argument that Senator Obama is unqualified is exposed for what it really is (no need to mention those adjectives).
