What is strange? Obama is part of Washington yet is running
against it. I don't get it.

Obama has been a part of Washington for a couple years now and I'm sure he is a quick learner. So how can he now be running as the outsider and the man who is going to change those evil Washington ways, when he is part of the system to begin with?

Something to ponder.

1. what isn't strange is that the poster just happens to be a supporter of Hillary.

What are you really wanting us to ponder? Is Obama starting to pose a threat to 'your girl'?

2. Candidates run outsider campaigns all the time.
Shit look at McCain. He was a Senator for how long before he ran in 2000?

3. Once again, make up your mind.
Either he is a Washington insider or he is inexperienced outsider because so much of his work was at the state and community level. Criticizing him as an inexperienced Washington insider doesn't work any better than claiming that Hillary Clinton got a lot of experience as wife to a governor and president but is running on her own.

5. I submit that the term"inexperienced Washington insider"
is an oxymoron.
