Argument 1) McCain's experience does not prepare him to be President. Well my question is what exactly does Obama bring to the table that would make him prepared for the job.
Argument 2) Michelle Obama should be off limits. Richard Durbin D-Senator form Illinois has said that the harshes pits of He11 are save for those that criticize politicans spouses. Wait just a minute here if you critcize a politicans spouse you are not only going to He11 but the harshes treatment will be save for those. Just remember that when you decide to write a discussion about Cindy McCain.
Argument 3) Debate over Obama's religion is off limits. When anyone brings up the idea that Obama could be a Muslim, the counterargument is religion should not be an issue because of separation of church and state. Did we forget the questions about Romney being Mormon, or Huckabee being a pastor? Remember those polls that America was not ready for a Mormon or a pastor as President.
Argument 4) Obama would make a great President because of his communication skills. Well if you think a President should have good communication skill then Obama might be the worst pick on the board. If he does not have a prepared David Axelrod speach before him, he turn into the stumbling, bumbling, gaffe machine. I have seen secound graders with a stronger command of the English langauge than Obama does.
Argument 5) Because the world loves Obama this will increase America's standing in the world. How does the enemies of America loving Obama make him a good choice for our President? Now if you want to us this argument for the President of the World fine, but we are about elect the President of the USA.

There is nothing about Obama that makes him qualified for president.
There is however, much that should disqualify him.... and he would never survive a real background check because of the associations he has had.

Not to be rude, but who cares? I would really like to see a well thought out and constructed critique of his ideas, rather than a list of five points kind of turned around on him.
I support Obama, but I support criticizing proposed actions as well. And I'm excited because this campaign is an opportunity to focus on the issues and not the man.
Republicans are notorious for smear campaigns, and concocting outrageous lies to distract from the issues at hand, but McCain has stood against his own party in this in the past.
Since this gives us a temporary reprieve, why don't we take advantage of it and talk about the issues?

Gewcew,
I currently have one posted, but it's apparently against the rules to link to another discussion? If you are interested, you can check it out, I posted earlier today.
I'll warn you though, if its a strong stance on the issues you look for, I very rarely take one, I'm pretty much here to learn.
Thanks! Look forward to seeing your response!

"How does the enemies of America loving Obama make him a good choice for our President?"
I knew Ronald Reagan was the right choice when I heard on Radio Moscow's shortwave service they endorsed Jimmy Carter so as to continue the process of world peace that Carter had begun. Our enemies do try to influence us to elect the 'wrong' candidate just as we try to influence their elections.
Anyway, it is a good list with a lot of good thought going into it.

One of the things negative that came out about Carter in recent years is that the Soviets and he consulted through intermediaries as to how to most likely get Carter re-elected.

We live in a country that is not mostly white anymore. There was a time when it was. Little by little minorities arrived. Some of them worked hard to have what the white man had. Some didn't. Some just want it handed to them. And because of slavery, we are still paying for the past. Some minorites...all colors of the rainbow...just want a black president because he represents someone who is NOT WHITE.

Don't forget he's half white. I wonder if he would have even made it this far if his wife was a blond white woman.
