Whoops, LA Times. If you wanted to dig deep and ask the heavy questions about a candidate's experience, why did you wait until after the election to do it? If Barack Obama only had 3,723 billable hours as a junior associate at Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Gallard over a four year period, that is a reasonable fact that you can bring up in an article, and ask where his so-called experience comes from. But like, it would have been a good idea to do this before he was elected president.
Or are you just sort of hoping to ride the Obama-backlash and figured you'd have an easier time of it once he was president and Americans realize our country didn't just magically fix itself overnight? Which is the equivalent of gay rights activists waiting until after Prop 8 was past before they started protesting in earnest. It's because those guys love rallies, right?

Inexperience and lack of record were the only things
that kept me from joining the Obama stampede.
He seems like a nice enough fellow, and I hope for the
best. But I can't help but feel pangs of remorse that
we lost HRC, who by the end of the primary had proven
herself to be solid and capable.
Obama does seem to be making the right appointments,
and at least we don't have a semi senile Republican with
a Veep out of an Al Capp cartoon.
Perhaps if the press had been so in love with this asshole during the primary process we wouldn't have ended up with this asshole as President.
How long will it be before the press starts their deconstruction of the Obama myth they've built up over the past two years??!! It's a disgrace!
Whatever. The best out of the two most popular candidates won. At least that was fair and square, which is not the case for the California constitution revision that flies in the face of the notion of protecting an unpopular minority from the tyranny of the majority. I wonder what today would be like if the popular vote had controlled "interracial" marriage and segregation… I suspect it would not be good. And btw, many of us DID protest before the election. Very few noticed. Perhaps Prop 8 was the calamity the GLBT community needed to realize that they were meekly submitting to oppression and decided enough was enough. Because it is. One more day of inequality is too, too much to bear.
Obama has about as much experience for running the country as a Best Buy clerk.
Three cheers for prop.8
Hi, We had a Republican Idiot for a last 8 years… Now it is the turn for a Democratic one!
Just grin and bear it!!
Payback's a bitch, ain't it?
