The Dems will not win back the White House until they nominate someone who is in the mainstream. The majority of the country does not want a left-wing socialist radical that has these strange relationships with racists and terrorists that he refuses to denounce and distance himself from.

Either democrat nominee will be historic but one will be better for the future of American society than the other and significantly so and I think that man is Obama.

The way Obama supporters talk is as if he's the 2nd coming of Christ.

I was reading a blog of an Obama supporter the other day and they were totally delusional. They were talking about how when he's elected there will "finally be peace in the world." And that he will solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and save the poor and hungry and the planet will be saved from global warming.

I mean it would funny if the author who wrote it wasnt so serious....they were!

• He either cannot or will not hold his temper.  This is ALWAYS a bad thing in a civilian supreme commander.  If you doubt this, do a Google search on "ems spa telegram" for a first-rate example of why an ungovernable temper is NOT a forgivable flaw.
  
• He is in his early 70s and he's a lot more tired and hurt than a lot of poeple are when they reach that point.  I doubt he will live through his first term and he'll never outlive his second.
• He hasn't Clue 1 when it comes to militray affairs.  Nobody in the neocon wing of the Republican Party does.  Real conservatives, like Pat Lang and Bill Lind, have nothing but comtempt for them.

• I pretty much expect that everybody who gets to the point where they are trying for the Presidency is going to be obsessed by power on some level.  But obsessions must be controlled, lest they control those who have them.  Hillary does not even try to control hers.

• He holds his temper, and he does so consistently.
• He disengages from a problem once he sees it, and thinks it over.
• When he re-engages, he usually does so in a wider frame than the problem was originally posed in.
