I am full Democrat and I am fully against Obama because he has no real experience and his works in the past show all his inexperience — he scared his opponents to get elected in Illinois senate and then he made one speech at the DNC where nobody was thrilled by the boring Kerry/Edwards campaign. And he even hasn't finished his first Senate term! That's ridiculous if Democrats are serious to win this fall.
