You don't have to be the smartest guy to be president... you don't have to have the best experience... What you have to have is the best judgement... As president you're going to surround yourself with the best and the brightest minds (theoretically, Cheney not withstanding) giving you advice on various topics. You need to figure out who is the best people to have in that position... you're going to have foreign policy experts telling you what they think the latest intel means... some will agree, some with have different ideas... Your job is to take all that information and figure out what is the best course of action.
As for inspiration... If everyone is against you, you'll accomplish nothing. You need to get the people to believe in you, that you are doing the right thing. If you can do that, Congress will listen. Remember the gov't shutdown during the Clinton administration? Who shut the gov't down? Clinton. Who got blamed? Congress. Because the people believed President Clinton was right and he got things done. I believe Obama can do that. He can inspire the country to support him. If you don't want to follow someone, they can't lead you. People want to follow Obama.
Slainte,
Rob Harrington

Subject: [Dems2008] Sell Me On Obama
I know alot of people in this group really believe in Obama so sell
me on him. I don't have anything against him and it would be in my
best interest to support him because my State will be filling Trent
Lott's seat this November and he'd turn out more AA voters, but I
just can't make the leap. I've asked loads of supporters why they're
so razzed about him and I get basically the same answer hope, change
and unite. Being in the South, I've also heard some say that if
nothing else, it will end affirmative action and Al Sharpton, Jessie
Jackson, etal will finally shut the f up. I've listened to his
speeches, watched all the debates and gone to his website and read
the info there and still don't get it. Maybe you guys have seen him
in person or talked to him one on one or something, but for whatever
reason I'm just not feeling it and please no references to JFK, RFK,
MLK or Abe Lincoln or I might hurl. Endorsements don't impress me
and if I wanted to follow the crowd, I'd be a republican like the
majority of people around me and not want to pinch the heads off my
neighbors and family. I'm not crazy about Hillary but she's the
devil I know and she's a woman and God knows men have made a right
mess out of this world. Maybe something will happen in the debate
tonight to make my mind up, but this is very difficult and assuming
Hillary is still in on the 11th, I have to go vote...or not.
