Obama for President?
Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) has announced that he has filed papers to create a presidential exploratory committee. The announcement, which was made on his Web site, is a first step in the senator’s potential 2008 run for president.

Although I’m sure Obama would make a fine president … and I would / will probably vote for him … I’m not sure he’s quite ready for the presidency (he’s only been a senator for 2 years) and I’m SURE that the country isn’t ready (there are far too many bigoted people out there).
I worry that, if he runs, the democratic voters will be polarized … and that will cause us to loose the Whitehouse again.

If he’s nominated I will vote for him. But I think he should let another Democrat get elected in the 2008 presidential race, serve a second term, then run himself in 2016. By then he’ll have plenty of experience. Right now the only legitimate knock against him is that his resumeis thin.
