Thanks for asking. I'll be glad to tell you.

People throw this attack on experience as if that is the only thing that is important. I think other words need to be thrown into the debate like integrity, common sense, humility, patience, intelligence, and worldview.

Leaders have integrity. Obama maintained that throughout the primaries even when the kitchen sink was being thrown his way by his fellow Democrat. He maintains that currently in the general election by focusing on the issues, even through this RNC debacle that happened. He didn't attack Palin about her family issues. He said family should be off limits, defending his opponent because he knows that is not right and won't let politics stand in the way of his morals.

Leaders have common sense. Obama opposed the Iraq war from the start with a speech that is one of his best. Obama wants to make the playing field more even so that Americans making less than 250,000 have a shot at the American Dream. And that wealthiest have to pay a little bit more of their millions to help out those that are not as rich. He will, in turn, use that money to provide a better education, better infrastructure and better healthcare system. Granted, he can't pay for everything using the wealthiest individuals' money but it's a start. Obviously, he opposes the tax breaks that Bush was giving to the top 5%. He also wants to invest in public education by focusing on early education, paying teachers a higher salary and giving a $4,000 tuition credit for those that are willing to do community service and/or military service. He wants to make sure that veterans coming home from war get proper care, not only physically but psychologically. He also wants to invest in programs that help people coming out of jail get a fair shake, transitioning from that life to a better one. He sponsored a bill that establishes a program to help juvenile offenders reintegrate into community after their sentences. He understands the drug war and the inequalities of the criminal system. That is why he sponsored a bill where police interrogations are videotaped and a bill that would initiate a study of the race of people stopped for traffic violations.

Leaders have humility. When he graduated from Harvard, Obama could've easily been a big shot lawyer, making tons of money but he decided to go back to the South Side of Chicago to become a civil rights lawyer. He was a community organizer after graduating from Columbia because he actually cares about the people. He actually decided to get into politics once he realized how much power politicians have at changing things in the community. After all the frustration of trying to get things done as an organizer, he pursue his career in politics.

Leaders have patience. Obama won't use war as the first option. If anything, it will be a last resort. He is willing to be patient and actually talk to our enemies to try to resolve it in a peaceful way. Unlike Bush and McCain, Obama does not want to go to war unless it is absolutely necessary. That makes me feel safer instead of someone making jokes about bombing Iran and challenging Russia to try something. This is not high school bulling where one person can be hurt. These are nations that have millions of people in it that can be affected because two stubborn leaders are not willing to converse with one another. That is not where I want to be and that is not what I want in a leader of the country I live in.

Leaders have intelligence. Obama graduated from Columbia. Then he went to Harvard Law School where he became the first Black president of the Harvard Law Review and graduated magna cum laude. When he was in his 20s, he read and read and read many books that would later give him some insight into issues that affect us now. Now that might not seem like something important but reading is fundamental. In his position as president, one should be knowledgeable about history, law (he taught constitutional law), sociology, theology, religion and geography. He knows these things really well. It shows in his speeches. It shows in his debates. It definitely shows in his books. This man is smarter than a lot of Americans and hell, that is alright with me.

Leaders have a broad worldview. The narrow confines of American theology and worldview will make America selfish. Bush proved this. We cannot afford to live in a way where our leader is so narrow-minded and power-hungry that it can lead to the death of our great nation. We cannot afford that at all. Obama has a White Midwestern mother and Kenyan father. It is in his DNA to be more open-minded about culture and race. He also got the great opportunity to travel when he was younger when his mother went to Indonesia. He was able to see what life was like there versus life in America. He traveled in the states, going to New York, California and eventually settling in Chicago. He has friends from different ethnicities. He was always a bridge to bring people together even when no one was looking. He was a bridge even when he was fighting internally with his self-identity. This shows the heart of his leadership skills.

And okay since people keep bringing up experience then here, I will give some examples of his experience. He was a civil rights lawyer. He was promoted to Senior Lecturer in constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. He worked in the state senate where he sponsored more than 800 bills. Some of them he reached out to Republican counterparts to help sponsor, co author, and pass some of those bills. In 2002, he became the chairman of Illinois Senate's Health and Human Services Committee. He spoke out against the invasion of Iraq before the congressional authorization in 2002, and then again before the actual invasion in 2003 at anti-war rally. In 2005, he was sworn in as the fifth-ever African-American U.S. senator. He worked with Republican Senator Lugar to author and implement a program to locate and dismantle stray Russian WMD's. He was designated by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid as the party's point man on ethics. He worked with Russ Feingold to pass a major ethics/lobbying reform bill. He cosponsored, with John McCain, the Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act. He called for increased fuel efficiency standards (3 percent every year for 15 years). He had assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations, Veterans' Affairs, and Homeland Security. He was the chairman of the Senate's subcommittee on European Affairs. As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, he made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, Central Asia and Africa. He waged a tremendous battle to become the Democratic presidential nominee. Currently manages 2,500 campaign employees and a budget of $40-$50 million/month.

So yeah, he has some experience. It may not be "executive" but it coincides with the skills needed to be a great leader. And I know Obama will be a great president of the United States of America.
