I was reading CNN with interest regarding the selection Sen. John McCain made for his running mate. I was reading comments Sen. Barbara Boxer was making regarding this choice.
She states on cnn.com, “The vice president is a heartbeat away from becoming president. So to choose someone with not one hour's worth of experience on national issues is a dangerous choice.”
Sen. Barack Hussein Obama only has 36 months of experience. Remember Bill Clinton. He, for pity’s sake, was governor of Arkansas prior to becoming president. What experience on national issues is that?
The same could be said about Barack. What has he really done while in the Senate? At least John McCain has experience and has worn the uniform of our country's military proudly - unlike this other guy who is trying to destroy the foundation of our country.

I am so sick and tired of reading and hearing people claim that Obama is not qualified to be President. The only qualifications to run that I know of are: You must be a natural-born U.S. citizen and you must be at least 35 years of age. Nothing else should matter.
I am just so over corrupt, old rich men who could care less about the American peoples' struggles. They don't care. They don't have to worry about how they are going to pay their bills or how they are going to feed their children.
A President should be a person of the people, for the people. It is time for a change, and I think that Obama can bring about some much-needed change.
The old ways of running America and its non-rich people into the ground need to be over. I am tired of it, and you should be tired of it too. Out with the old, and in with the new. It's time for the have-nots to matter as well.
