www.kansascity.com | 10/17/2008 | Barack Obama for president (http://www.kansascity.com/endorsements/story/845717.html - broken link)

These are anxious times for Americans. A faltering banking system, plummeting stock prices, difficult conflicts abroad, huge federal deficits, rapidly escalating health expenses . . . the list of troubles seems to go on and on, and public faith in our national leaders and key institutions has suffered.
But the six issues highlighted below illustrate why we believe Sen. Barack Obama is the right person to lead the country forward. He is a man of strength, empathy, energy and intelligence.
The Illinois Democrat understands the challenges that await George Bush’s successor. A gifted public servant whose roots extend to his mother’s birthplace in Kansas, Obama has a rare ability to encourage hope among the dispirited and to inspire young people.
Obama’s sound judgment is reflected in his choice for a running mate. Sen. Joe Biden is a passionate advocate of ordinary Americans and a foreign-policy expert who would be prepared to assume the Oval Office on a moment’s notice.

Despite his age and previous health problems, McCain chose a vice presidential candidate who is so clearly unqualified for high office that the thought of her stepping into the presidency is frightening.
Ain't THAT the truth!!!!

And Obama's clearly qualified because??? Is the fact he went to Harvard a clear indication that he is qualified to be President?

Oh yeah, that's another newspaper that probably endorses McCain. The Idaho University student paper probably likes their former alum.

Wow! You're smart!! My point was in reference to the endless droning of many here that simply think Obama is qualified because he went to Harvard.
