&lt;p&gt;He should've gone on Further and said...&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Then 43 Yr Old John F. Kennedy was also Mocked by the Republicans and his own Democratic Opposition Lyndon B. Johnson as being &amp;quot;Too Young &amp;amp; Too InExperienced&amp;quot; as well. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mr.666 Himself, Ron-ald Wil-son Rea-gan was Scorned Early on by the Press and his Republican opposition as &amp;quot;Being Too Old &amp;amp; InExperienced and just a B-Actor vying for the White House&amp;quot; and also it was said, &amp;quot;That Running a Single State is not like Running 50 states&amp;quot; but later on one of the Most Beloved Presidents.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Carter was called &amp;quot;Too Southern, Too Out of Touch and He has No National Or International Experience&amp;quot;, yet Carter did 2 Great Things in his 1 term as President.. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;1. Carter Brokered: The &amp;quot;Middle East Peace Agreement&amp;quot; an Agreement that has lasted to this day, Between Both Israel &amp;amp; Eygpt.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;2. Carter Brokered: The Strategic Nuclear Amed Missiles Agreement between Both The USA &amp;amp; Russia. These 2 Agreements thus far.....&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;HAVE NEVER BEEN BROKEN !!!&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jimmy Carter did it without BloodShed and Mass Murder or Mass Destruction. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;NOW THINK ABOUT THAT, WHEN YOU CRITICIZE JIMMY CARTER.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Jon F. Jennedy: was (43 Yaars Old)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Russia's New President: D'mitri Medvedev is (42 Yrs Old)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Former USA President: Bill Clinton was (45 Yrs Old) and had Only State Regioanl Experience&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Barack ObamaI is (47 Yrs Old) 2 Years Older than Bill Clinton&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;-------------------------------------------&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bill Clinton: My fellow Democrats, sixteen years ago, you gave me the profound honor to lead our party to victory and to lead our nation to a new era of peace and broadly shared prosperity.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Bill Clinton: Together, we prevailed in a campaign in which the Republicans said &amp;quot;I was Too Young and Too In-Experienced to be Commander-in-Chief&amp;quot;. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Sound familiar ? &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;It didn't work in 1992, because we were on the right side of history. And it won't work in 2008, because Barack Obama is on the right side of history.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;His life is a 21st Century incarnation of the American Dream. His achievements are proof of our continuing progress toward the &amp;quot;more perfect union&amp;quot; of our founders' dreams. The values of freedom and equal opportunity which have given him his historic chance will drive him as president to give all Americans, regardless of race, religion, gender, sexual orientation or disability, their chance to build a decent life, and to show our humanity, as well as our strength, to the world.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I get it, everyone who votes for Obama is LESS informed than the people who vote for McCain. The people that don't recognize this new McCain are all lying. &amp;nbsp;McCain will &amp;nbsp;disappoint the American people because the people hoped he would be different though his record reads otherwise. His campaign is trying to say he is for change not him. Palin is only a trojan horse needed after the democratic convention.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I can't wait for Bush to endorse McCain, that's right I forgot, he can't make it. When the rating of a US president is so bad that his party would rather he not speak...but you agreed with him 90% but you represent change...who is really the less informed one. What is Cheney going to say, more of the same. Is he going to bad mouth the president now?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;You expected the Clintons to take a different path then McCain, or any other candidate for that matter?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;If you look at McCain's campaign, all of his moves are out of a military strategy textbook. &amp;nbsp;The Democrats have to keep referencing The Art of War just to recognize his next nuance. His campaign changed from what's best for America, to how do I win this election.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I guess the saying that means that you have to do something different if you want change, does NOT apply to politics. &lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Maybe if you keep the smear campaign going it'll work against Obama, and &amp;nbsp;we will see McCain in a light. A confused &amp;nbsp;son proud of his admiral father outwardly vs despising his father inwardly. This is coupled with McCain trying to erase the pain of captivity by waiting to for the chance to destroy the next nation we might encounter and bringing us along for the ride. Wrapped in a bow of deparation because if Obama really IS a good president, he won't get another chance until he is 80.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Your comments are well taken and well thought out. &amp;nbsp;I share your observation of how peolple like OBOMBA (obviously a racist who even hides behind a made up name which is nothig short of a slur) to support fossilized thinking based on gun boat diplomacy which is 100 years out of date. &amp;nbsp;As you say the Neo-cons are so pathetic they have to hide the President because he is universally dispised by virtually every thinking man and woman across the Country. &amp;nbsp;Keep up the good work and together we can take back our country from the religious zealots and the bigots.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Perhaps before you try to perpetuate rumors you should get some facts. &amp;nbsp;Wooten the state trooper brother -in- law used his TASER gun on his 10yr old, TEN YEAR OLD, step son! &amp;nbsp;He should have lost his badge for that alone but he also threatened to shoot the mother in law as well. &amp;nbsp;The state police should have removed him from duty for either and CPS should have been called as well.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Given what I have heard so far on this....Palin made the right choices and Wooten is a dangerous individual who should not be allowed to continue being a State trooper. &lt;/p&gt;

Voting &amp;quot;present&amp;quot; is a completely legitimate political stance when a piece of legislation is not yet perfected, but has some caveats in it that are worth working on. &amp;nbsp;In other words, it is a way of working to improve legislation that is worth the effort. &amp;nbsp;As to Obama opposing the war prior to being a U.S. Senator - it was a courageous public stance that he didn't have to take, but did. &amp;nbsp;Didn't you take a stance at the time? &amp;nbsp;Were you a Senator? &amp;nbsp;How ridiculous to live in a democracy and think the only people who can take a stance against a war have to be in the Senate to count. &amp;nbsp;Compare Obama's courageous - and now we know, accurate - assessment of the case for war to Sarah Palin being willing to sacrifice her son for a war WE NOW KNOW BEYOND A SHADOW OF A DOUBT was unnecessary; that the intelligence was fixed by GW and Cheney WHO LIED US INTO A WASTEFUL WAR. &amp;nbsp;What do you really think about a mother who would send her son to a needless war for her own political benefit? &amp;nbsp;That's not even sane. &amp;nbsp;And for that matter, how could anyone in their right mind vote for another Republican president after the trashing this country has received at that party's hands. &amp;nbsp;Use your whole brain, please. &amp;nbsp;You are a United States citizen charged with using your own best judgment, and nothing in your post indicates you are worthy of the trust given to you as a citizen. &amp;nbsp;Can you put your country first? &amp;nbsp;Or are you just another cowardly ideologue? &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;

I voted for Hillary Clinton in the primary but there is no way I will vote for an empty suit like Barack Obama. &amp;nbsp;Hillary Clinton said it best when she said, Barack Obama made one speech, and that does not qualify him to be president. &amp;nbsp;I respect and understand Hillary Clinton's dedication to the democrat party. &amp;nbsp;Joe Biden is also on record as saying Obama is not ready to be president. However, since I am not a politician I am free to choose the person I trust the most &amp;nbsp;and is the most qualifiedto be the next president and that person is John McCain. &amp;nbsp; Vivian, you are a typical member of the Obama cult who attacks anyone who can see Obama is incapable of being the president of USA. I am putting my country before party. &amp;nbsp;NOBAMA&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;I have been working as a community organizer for over 20 years, and I really don't let taunts like yours get to me. &amp;nbsp;So get reading, get some real information, and let's have a real discussion instead of just regurgitating a bag of campaign bs. &amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
