Question about Obama

[JennaTX]

I'm confused.... OP you started this thread saying you had not heard of him and then you state that you don't think he is capable of running the country. So which is it?

If you don't think he is the right person to be in charge of the country, why did you pose the question? What did you base it on? On his policy stances? Any of the previous 20 debates?

I didn't have any intention with this little question, I thought it was simple. I will not state my case again but I did get something going so for that I did my dead, well here on the computer

I asked if anyone knew hime before he started running for president, I did not ask " who are you all voting for. There is a big difference there so everyone should stop twisting the story

I sure did because this tread twisted the simple question I asked so I figure why not, everyone else added their two cents.

I don't blame you and I agree with you.

Other presidental runner I had NEVER heard of prior to their run.

Mitt Romney
Mike Huckabee
Ron Paul
Mike Gravel
Dennis Ku-- however the heck you spell his name
Joe Biden
ROSS PEROT
BILL CLINTON
GEORGE BUSH
JOHN KERRY

I can say as I get older I pay more attention but honestly, MOST people have not heard of most of the candidates prior to their running unless they are in a scandal, the current VP or some other notable situation.
