THE PRESIDENT WITH LESS EXPERIENCE THAN BARACK OBAMA

according to those who put Obama's lack of experience as a negative.

The man who should not have been president was elected in the 19th Century. He served in the U.S. House, I believe for just one term -- not more than two, then went back to his law practice, helping the ordinary folks in his neighborhood.

He was nominated by his party to run as senator from his state, but lost.

Then two years later, he won his party's nomination for President, with some stiff opposition within his own party from those who thought he was not liberal enough -- too moderate.

Then he won the election against a popular opponent who had support mainly from Southern states.

Then he became one of the greatest presidents this county has ever had, steered us through one of the most traumatic periods we have ever seen, and his likeness is set in stone on Mount Rushmore.

His name? Abraham Lincoln.

I would then put forth that Mr. Obama's so-called "lack of experience" is really a non-issue.

an avid Missourian 64 years old and married, with children in Colorado, hence the photos from there, and step children here and all have grown up quite well thank you. wish I could go mountain climbing again - just have to settle for the Ozark Mountains instead of the Rockies. Young years spent in North St. Louis County, then teen years in Hyde Park Neighborhood of North St. Louis. Lived in all parts of Missouri, have family in rural Missouri, lived in the Ozarks for about 4 years. Lived in Springfield Mo for another 6, Lived also in Columbia and Kansas City. Returned to St. Louis November 1970 and have live in South St. Louis ever since, have seen many changes, but have seen that the City has remained mainly stable, even grown and attracted young urban professionals with good incomes, an ingredient for a healthy community. Have seen first-hand the circumstances of the disadvantaged of the City. I know somewhat what is going on there.
