My point #1: Obama is the best person and the most qualified candidate for Democrats
Obama's personal integrity and selflessness is unparalleled. Obama could easily be a CEO of a multibillion-dollar enterprise - for example, right now all he has to do is give Oprah or John Roos a call - but instead Obama has chosen to offer himself to the American public as their leader.

His intelligence is in the stratosphere, as evidenced by his degree from Harvard. This, combined with his hands-on community experience, makes him better suited for the job than Hillary or Edwards.

1. You want me to reward him for taking less money?
He's entitled to the presidency because he COULD be making millions but isn't. Okay.

Show me ANY private business he has successfully operated. Show me the resume he would use to get this CEO job.

Fan fiction may be a good basis of support for Obama's devotees, but not me.

4. Got any proof that any of that is true?
Unparalleled personal integrity and selflessness? What was his score on the standardized personal integrity and selflessness exam? Or are you just hyperbolically expressing a personal, starry-eyed opinion?

And don't you think Hillary Clinton -- a graduate of Yale Law School -- could get a job as a CEO instead of "offering herself" as our leader?

Stratospheric intelligence? Neither HRC nor JE nor BR nor DK is a dummy. All are smart enough.

And if you think Obama's community service experience is all that important, have you checked out Hillary's resume? She's worked on issue after issue for year after year.

So, tell me again -- what is it that makes Obama more qualified than the others?

5. Ah, yes, the "I could be making so much more" camp. I thought only Republicans went there.
