Dear Editor, concerned citizens and brother of humanity

Columnist Cal Thomas “Tribune Media Services” article in the Valdosta Daily times on January 19, 2007 read Barak Obama: American idol. Then Mr. Thomas used “Sen. Barack Hussein Obama Jr.,” in his comments about the senator. However, Cal did not provide his own middle name or identify if he is a junior or not.

Mr. Thomas said that part of the attraction and seductiveness of the senator perhaps is that he is mostly a blank slate, a liberal Democrat, favors abortion rights, gun control, tax breaks for the middle class, and is part of an ideological strain. Then asks does the senator believe activist judges should interpret the Constitution.

Mr. Thomas spoke of qualifications, experience, respectability and the worldview of a president. And does Obama have such qualities with only two years of experience in the U.S. Senate, and should voters exert blind faith that Obama is up to the challenge of serving as president?

Did Mr. Cal (?) Thomas (?) ever question, the qualifications, experience, respectability etc., of President George W. Bush during either of his presidential campaigns? So what’s up with this?

The American people sent a strong message to congress recently that voters are fully capable of speaking for themselves. In the upcoming election the voters will decide who will be their next Commander-In-Chief.

If Cal can show me an experienced presidential candidate, then I will show him a former president. So Mr. Thomas should not get stuck focusing on Obama’s middle name. If he could not see our current president lack of qualifications prior to taking office then he may need to see an optometrist, and then explain to his readers.

Why have over 3,052 Americans perished in Iraq as a result of false information provided to congress, the American people and the world?

Senator Barack Obama Question (GBR)

January 17, 2007

Dear Editors, Concerned Citizens, Messages Boards and Beyond

There is always something wrong with ordinary American Citizens. Either, you are too fat or too skinny, too tall or too short. Either you are not qualified for the job or you are over qualified for the job. But there is always something wrong.

If you are from the north you should have been from the south. If you are Muslim, you should have been a Christian. If you are a Jew then you should have been an Italian. You are either with us; or are against us.

And if the Messiah Jesus returned today! He would be either too early or too late. It’s always something.

Now since Senator Barack Obama launched his bid for the Office of President of the United States. The media, and others seem obsessed; “Is HE, (Senator Obama), too politically inexperienced?

Why this obsession with his alleged lack of experience? No American President came into the oval office with experience in that office. They gained experience by serving in the office. Human beings are born inexperienced. They could not breath, crawl, cry, eat food, talk, drink water, or protect themselves from danger but we all learned.

Therefore as a concerned citizen, brother of humanity and Retired United States Air Force veteran during the Vietnam era. I say to Senator Obama run, run, run, and help return the government back to the American people. We have had enough of experienced career politicians who seem be destroying our nation and its image around the world. Its time for a change!
