Don’t just take Their word for it that Obama’s too young, or that he’s not ready for the presidency.
I decided to try to make your lives a little easier. I know exactly how hard it is to work full time and raise kids and a husband (or maybe that was just me…). So I went to www.barackobama.com and collected links to all of the pages about his positions on the issues so you can draw your own informed conclusions.
The information on each issue is clearly organized and succinct. At the bottom of every page, there are links to other pages or PDF files for more detailed information. And there’s a link on each page you can click to submit your own ideas.

Marc Andreesen (founder of Ning and Netscape and gawd knows what else) had the incredible good fortune to spend an hour and a half sitting and shooting the shit with Barack Obama last year. Must be nice! I really enjoyed reading about his impressions of Obama on his blog.
Obama is a cool customer. I find him refreshing after nearly a year with Sarkozy, the hotheaded president of France, who tells people to piss off if they don’t want to shake his hand and invites hecklers to come down and say it to his face (as if he’s gonna do what?). He’s a little pit bull, and the French have just about had it with his lack of restraint.
Just imagine what it would be like for the US to have a president who’s more dignified than the president of France! (Has that ever happened?)
I can hardly wait.
It’s going to be very, very interesting indeed come election night. Oh, do we need some change in this here country of ours…and quick.
