We all know that Obama rose to national prominence because his speech in the 2004 DNC. Watch it Here. Read it Here. That is all.

In a post on the Liberal Blog, Daily Kos, in 2005, Barack Obama argued that Democrats must not only try to defeat the Republicans, but work to build trust in government: "The bottom line is that our job is harder than the conservatives' job...whenever we exaggerate or demonize, or oversimplify or overstate our case, we lose. Whenever we dumb down the political debate, we lose. A polarized electorate that is turned off of politics, and easily dismisses both parties because of the nasty, dishonest tone of the debate, works perfectly well for those who seek to chip away at the very idea of government because, in the end, a cynical electorate is a selfish electorate."

Obama's 2008 campaign for the president of the United States is built on the premise that the Democrats must "disagree without being disagreeable" and unite America to solve this generations important issues. He focuses on his ability to break through partisan bickering, work across the aisle, and produce actual results. The idea that someone would be able to unite America and get the government to productively work on important issues sounds ideal, but impossible to achieve. And understanding the cynicism, Obama stresses that Americans must embrace the audacity of hope. Hope is an irrational belief, a faith in optimism, but hope is also a unifying emotion, one that resonates with millions of Americans. By emphasizing that we should all believe in the possibility of a new type of politics, Obama has converted many people, including Republicans, to believe in the possibility of the anti-Bush, a non-ideological leader that respects those who disagree with him and works to find not the Democratic solution, not the Republican solution, but the best solution. Campaigning to replace Bush with a unifying leader, he has struck a chord in millions of Americans-shown by polls, book sales, enormous crowds, and Facebook groups-and in this crucial juncture in the history of America, he has the potential to improve how Americans perceive politics, leading to more trust in government and some actual progress.

Newt Gingrich, commenting on Obama's experience: "Well, Abraham Lincoln served two years in the U.S.House, and seemed to do all right." (Meet The Press 12/17)

Following George W. Bush, who only served six years as the Governor of Texas before his presidency and hasn't been that well-recieved, to put it lightly, the American people should make sure they vote for a qualified candidate. And in their never ending coverage of Obama, the American media loves to repeat the "experience question." Barack, a political unknown until his Democratic National Convention Speech in 2004, has been protrayed as "green", the implication being that if he's elected president, he would somehow not be ready to handle the task of the presidency, or at least not as well as his political opponents.

What is experience? Previous presidents have been governors, or had a longer term in the Senate or House, before taking office. All of these experiences prepare a person to operate within the system, rather than to change the system. Yet change is precisely what this nation needs. Barack has correctly pointed out that the two of the most experienced people in Washington, Donald Rumseld and Dick Cheney, have led the U.S. into the disaster of Iraq.
A focus on experience is also a way to avoid talking about qualities such as leadership, intelligence, courage, fairness, judgment, temperament and integrity--qualities that truly matter in a leader. Barack's experience has developed these qualities.
He has ten years experience in public office, more than the two other leading Democratic candidates, Hillary Clinton (six-plus years as Senator from New York) and John Edwards (six years as Senator from North Carolina). Barack's first eight years spent in the Illinois senate before his two years (and counting) of service in the U.S. Senate, should not be forgotten. Far away from the Washington spotlight, he introduced, voted on and passed bills, debated with his colleagues-something that was missing in Washington, where everything is settled in the backroom-and arduously worked to satisfy his constituents. Most important of all, he learned that how to work across the aisle, and get stuff done...

Waiting for Obama to declare is worse than waiting at a DMV.

We know he will; it just has to be.

Obama is wanted.

Yes, Hillary has a war chest, an extensive political organization, and Bill.

But she cannot gives us that cultural thrill.

Obama is wanted.
