No experience?

Barack Obama is indeed a man of the world, but he is inexperienced and that
fact alone should make one nervous about him being in the White House.

In some instances he is far more experienced than the other candidates.
His early anti-poverty organizations, his early views on early childhood education, and he actually "lived abroad", which is an experience the other candidates lack.
He was a "street kid" in Indonesia.

He had to study the Koran and that experience would make him look at Muslims for their nationalism, and not stereotype them for their fanaticism. He once described the call to prayer as "one of the most beautiful sounds on Earth."

He witnessed first hand the atrocities going on in Africa, and that alone makes
him understand the issues like personal freedoms and security.

So, Obama may lack experience at the very top of the ladder, but what set's him apart, is that he has received everyday "street wise, been there, keeping it real, strategies," which makes him rich in experience and wisdom.

Thank you, thank you very much!
