What is there in Obama's past indicating that he qualifies to be the leader of the free world?

There's a great book called "Call to Greatness" which talks about the challenges our next president will face.

In it, the author feels there are 7 qualities the next president must have:

1) The ability to respond decisively to a crisis.

2) The ability to set priorities.

3) The ability to mobilize resources.

4) The ability to maintain political unity and shrewd timing.

5) The ability to communicate and understandable public strategy.

6) The ability to offer us a vision beyond war.

7) The ability to take us from peril to promise.

When I look at Obama, I am concerned about his lack of experience and his ability to do any of these things. If I look at it honestly, Palin is more qualified than Obama.

You have first to realize the difference between leadership and electability

It is very rare that you find both qualities in the same candidate.

I think that Sen Obama is electable.He is educated,well spoken and camera friendly,he has stood and won elections in the past.But as a leader,I can't see it.What committees has he led,legislature introduced troops or corporations directed.All of these make a leader along with a clear vision of how to get to the final objective.

Ron Paul is a leader but he is not electable on a national level

John McCain has leadership qualities but is not electable

Presidents like Ronald Reagan come along once in a while unfortunately.

Having payed attention I can find nothing at all. If he's not on several government watch lists for his associations I would like to know why!

He is a lawyer, not a mathematician, so he is not qualified to do my taxes much less the taxes of the whole nation. He has zero military experience, except as possibly a protester against it, and so shouldn't be commander in chief.He himself said a certain moral issue was "above his pay grade", sounds like he will shirk that and other important issues as well.We can't afford a president that effectively will be "present" when we need a man of action-not just words.

nicely he became an area organizer of african individuals in Chicago. Um, oh and he became interior the senate for 143 days the place he won the 2nd optimum quantity of economic kick backs from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac- he won $126,000 money, and he additionally voted modern on one hundred eighty+ costs as a results of fact he could not make up his innovations. That approximately sums up his journey. . . . . . . he isn't qualified to steer a choir much less united statesa..

Nothing.

Barack and his wife alike both graduated from prestigious universities where studied law and political science. he held voter registration rallies. He's a senator of the US he answers debate questions without stammering. he's not running against palin but mccain.

there is no way to make Obama electable with out

dogging someone else(all the while claiming what

he is doing to others is what others are doing to him)

the worse he can make others look the better he looks

and the farther down he can put his opponent the higher

he can stand on the pedestal...

if "The Sociopath Next Door" was required reading,

people like Obama wouldn't get as far as they do...

the sad thing is most people don't realize, they are

dealing with a sociopath until they have been taken/hurt

by the sociopath...

without bashing another candidate:

Bush is not a candidate. What made him qualified to be the leader of the free world?

The answer to the question is that no one has ever been qualified. You don't go to college and major in being President or go to President Preparatory School. The idea of President is that anyone, even you or a peanut farmer can become President and he or she will have a team of advisers to help direct you on decisions. The idea that you have to be some elitist superhuman to be President was never the intent of the constitution. You should feel like one day you will be President and or instill these values in your children.

I hope you don't consider this answer as unworthy ...

Obama has a past ... that enables him too see the benefits of a good education that came from the support of family who worked hard to provide him with that education.....

He understands that if given the opportunity.. anybody in American can make a success of themselves... and that perhaps too many are denied such opportunities. I don't believe that he would be naive enough to think that SOME people would still not succeed.. BUT at least they had opportunity to.

He also is not an insular person...as in just knowing about the USA.. he KNOWS about other people, nations and how we all are a part of a tapestry that is OUR WORLD.. how what happens in the USA can affect the rest of the world and vice-versa

He is NOT an ignorant fool.. and has gained the respect of many other nations' populations.

If I were an American... I would be definitely Voting for Obama .. if not working the campaign...

He has no intention of being the leader of the "free" world.

Clearly freedom is of no value to him.
