Hillary's claim that Obama isn't ready to be President doesn't hold up anymore.
Not with endorsements from people like Leahy, Kerry, and so many other respected governors and senators.

She really ought to give up making such a ludicrous claim, it makes her look foolish and petty.

1. Yeah, those endorsements will really come in handy when it is time to make a decision.
Will they be there to advise Obama to be "present" during a crisis?
Obama is NOT ready for prime time no matter how hard the establishment pushes him.

3. And when Hillary's supporters continue to spew such a foolish and ridiculous claim
it makes them look foolish and petty as well.

Carry on.

5. How does an endorsement help Obama lead as president?
That is the biggest leap of logic I have ever seen.....even on DU.

8. It doesn't. It shows people have made the judgment he has the ability to lead.

And not only that, but people with far more experience and judgment than you.

9. Well, since I am not running for any elected office, I am not sure what the personal attack
has to do with anything. ... then your OP does not make any sense. These endorsements will have no effect on the claim about Obama's lack of experience.

11. You consider that a personal attack?
I'll have to remember how sensitive you are.

10. Some of us have tremendous respect for and trust in our elected officials...
Personally, the only thing that could make me re-think my support of Obama is if Carl Levin were to endorse another candidate. I've looked up to him for half of my life. I trust his judgement.

12. Okay, I'll note that you are a follower and not a leader.
Since Hillary has far more endorsements than Obama, you should probably support her.

13. Wow, you are bitter.
I like both candidates equally, and I gotta say, you are not helping out our friend HRC.

14. I am not bitter. I congratulate Obama for all of his endorsements.
I just do not understand the OP when he says that endorsements prove Obama can lead.
....it just does not wash.

16. Nothing can prove you can lead but doing it.
It's plausible the endorsments "suggests" he can lead to people who trust Leahy, Kerry et al's judgement, but it doesnt mean she cant either.

either way, the post is flamebait. Save your energy

15. JFK had 18 years experience before he was elected president and was also a war hero.
I don't think yours is a good example.

6. She was the odds on favorite for years, and the numbers aren't the issue.
My point is relevant regardless of who is ahead at this point in number of endorsements.

17. Exactly. Also, she should stop with her claim of having 35 years of experience unless she gives
Obama credit for nearly 20 years of experience.
