It's the Experience, Stupid


Okay, I know I've been away a while. I know I've been missed because a few people have contacted me in the comments section to leave nice notes asking about me. Obviously Mrs. Clinton fans as well. My thought is, how many of these blogs actually have people who read them and leave notes? Anyway, I was gone a while. Yeah, about that...


I turned to the Dark Side for a while there.


Fans of the Holy Trilogy will know what I mean. I let go of my fears, I trusted my friends, etc. You know. My fears of lacking experience, my trust in the person I find the most friendly. It was a mind trick. But now I realize how wrong I was.


A Jedi shall not know anger.

Nor hatred.

Nor love.


I got caught up in the 'Once Upon A Time' mythology of the whole thing, the fairy tale as it were. But let's be honest, Senator Obama, while lofty in speech and grand in ideals, is just not experienced enough to serve in the Oval Office. This is the office of George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, F.D.R., and Jimmy Carter. Senator Obama is just not up to snuff.


And that's what I decided, and how I decided it. I went over in my head all the pluses and minuses. I realized that Senator Obama was just a young lawyer in a small law firm who got in with the right people, was elected to serve his constituents in the Illinois State Senate (hardly the preparation needed to serve Illinois constituents in the U.S. Senate) by beating a weak candidate, and is someone who never created a job in his life. Beyond that, besides being a lawyer, an author and an elected official, Senator Obama's never even held a real job! It would be reckless to send him to the White House.


So again, and forever, I support my girl, America's Senator (yes, I'm calling her that again).
