I don't have particularly strong feelings of love and flowers toward Barack Obama; I'll be honest. His lack of experience bothers me, I'm not sure he'll be able to get the votes to do the things he wants to promise.

I'm not sure who they're trying to appease - but that's my problem with Obama. QUIT APPEASING THE MYTHOLOGY NUTJOBS. They're had their chance to mix church and state and run the country and it was rather spectacularly proven it does. Not. Work. Here.
