Sorry, I don't think Obama is qualified so my list would be empty.
*********
Way to duck the question Scott. Since you said she was more qualified than Obama, list why. Instead of giving smarmy answers try listing some facts. Who will she learn how to be president from? McCain? Based on your criteria, he's not qualified either.
Not if you have an open mind it isn't. I already explained to you Jodi, that I'm only liberal on social issues and that the issues I'm conservative about are the trumping those social issues in the current election. It's not a complex idea. It's actually very simple. I'm not sure why you find it mind boggling.
**********
And pray tell what are the issues you are defending her on. Do you even know what they are? Do you even care? You defend the fact in the debate she didn't have to list her standings on policy issues and just trumpeted McCain's. So what are you basing this on. No one even knows what she stands for on anything other than social issues.

Tony go to the local Obama office and ask if there are any tickets to the event, even though a ticket is not required if they are giving them out it will help you get in. I got to see him in Muncie, I hope you get in, he is amazing in person. And if you do go look at the crowd, I got goosebumps when I looked around and there were people of all races/gender there united for a common cause.
I'm not sure why you find it mind boggling.
OK you ( a sometimes democrat) have more of a grasp on her qualifications than George Will ( a conservative reporter) does. Somebody on the republicans side needs to get Will to talk to you, because he sure doesn't think she is qualified to be President and you must know something he doesn't.

You know what you need on Day 1? A brain. You need wisdom and intellegence.
Mike, I agree with you here. Unfortunately, in my opinion, Obama has intelligence but not wisdom.

Coming from you William, that's frickin' hilarious. You are the master of twisting and avoiding, With your mastery of it, I take that as a huge compliment. LOL

As I said, I'm conservative on economic, foreign affairs and national security which would put me right in line with her stance and her backing of McCain on those. I only cringe about her stance on social issues, which I have repeatedly stated, are of lessor importance to me in the current global situation.

I don't remember asking you that specific question before, but if I did
then I imagine I missed your reply amid the blizzard of lengthy posts by the two Michaels. This thread moves so fast it's easy to miss stuff.
At any rate, if advisors are the solution to lack of executive experience, can't Obama also avail himself of experienced advisors? Why does the fact that Hillary is married to her advisor make it more acceptable than Obama using advisors? I don't get it.

Obviously, Obama needs to start sleeping with Bill Clinton to gain credibility.

That's my kind of politics! To hell with this tapping feet in the men's room! Let's get sex back in the oval office where it belongs!

Someone may have linked to this already, but just in case:
*Chicago Sun-Times film critic Roger Ebert did not appreciate the nonverbal behavior of Sen. John McCain during Friday's first presidential debate with Democratic nominee Sen. Barack Obama. The longtime movie reviewer took personal offense at McCain's body language, particularly the GOP senator's failure to even look at Obama.
The following is Ebert's blog in its entirety: Guess who's not coming to dinner - by Roger Ebert I do not like you, John McCain. My feeling has nothing to do with issues. It has to do with common courtesy. During the debate, you refused to look Barack Obama in the eye. Indeed, you refused to look at him at all. Even when the two of you shook hands at the start, you used your eyes only to locate his hand, and then gazed past him as you shook it. Obama is my guy. If you are rude to him, you are rude to me. If you came to dinner at my house and refused to look at or speak with one of my guests, that would be bad manners and I would be offended. Same thing if I went to your house. During the debate, you were America's guest. What was your problem? Do you hold this man in such contempt that you cannot bear to gaze upon him? Will you not even speak to him directly? Do you think he doesn't have the right to be running for President? Were you angry because after you said you wouldn't attend the debate, he said a President should be able to concern himself with two things at the same time? He was right. The proof is, you were there. Were you angry with him because he called your bluff? During the debate, Jim Lehrer repeatedly called upon both candidates to speak directly to each other. Obama looked at you. He addressed you as "John," which as a fellow senator is his privilege. His body language was open. You stared straight ahead, or at Lehrer, or into space. Your jaw was clinched. You had a tight little smile, or a grimace, or a little shake of your head. I had to do two things at once while watching the debate. I had to listen to what was being said. And I had to process your rigid and contemptuous behavior. If you were at a wedding and the father of the groom refused to look at or speak to the bride, how would that make you feel? Especially if you were the father of the bride? You made a TV commercial showing the moments Obama agreed with you. Everybody knows he did. Did his agreement show honesty, or weakness? It is significant that you said it proved he was not ready to lead. What is the better leadership quality: (1) Willingness to listen to your opponent, and keep an open mind? (2) Rigidly ignoring him? Which of the two of you better demonstrated the bipartisan spirit you say you represent? Was there anything he said that you agreed with? Could you have brought yourself to say so? I'm not the only one who noticed your odd, hostile behavior. Just about everybody did. I'm sure many of your supporters must have sensed the tension. Before the debate, pundits were wondering if you might explode in a display of your famous temper. I think we saw that happen, all right, but it was an implosion. I have instructed my wife to exclude you from any future dinner parties.

Wow, Jodi, those took me quite some time to read but it was worth it. I
actually find the second one to be more disgusting for different reasons of
course.

JT I took the 2nd link out because I felt they were together overwhelming. I am glad you enjoyed them. I found the second link to be more interesting too, my husband thought the Rolling Stones article was better so I left that in, I should have posted them at different times.
Greg that was pretty good, but I believe he has given good reviews to some french movies, I think he's a communist and anti-American. LOL I just thought I would beat Scott to the punch.

That one single line made my day, LOL. My eyes glaze over when they get on a roll.
