Unlike many other candidates, Mr. Obama is ripe and ready for the White House. If he is not picked, then as any good fruit left unpick, he will ripen to the likes of good candidates who have fallen by the way side. If America was too really take a close look at the significant meaning of Obama in the White House, they would see a man who understands the pain of of all sides Black, White Republicans and Democrats. Our country has slipped from the united front we once were after 9/11. We need a candidate like Obama to unify us into the strong Union that we once were. The notion that he is not ready because of lack of Middle East experience is further from the truth. Surely he can't do worst than our current leader of the Free World. It does not take a Quantum Physicist to understand the Middle East and Foreign Affairs. It's all about timing and learning from previous errors made from our previous administrations. None of of our previous Presidents have been able to solve world hunger or the middle east crisis, so why start with Obama. If we turned the table around and relate Mr Obama to being on a franchise team. Mr. Obama would be the number one draft pick and would live up to all the expectation that has been said about him. So let's not fool ourselves by saying he is not ready. Like any rookie, he is going to make mistakes, but those mistakes are certainly not going to overshadow the talent, drive and determination he will bring to the arena of politics.
I think Obama is ready for America. Now is America ready for Obama?
