Obama's Leadership and Experience

Most people who are reluctant to vote for Obama, despite their sympathies, usually argue that he lacks experience and/or has never led. However, key people in key industries are trusting in his abilities.

Deployed troops are giving by 6 to 1 to Obama.

As has become painfully clear since 9/11, intelligence is only as good as the worldview of the person receiving it. The team of former intelligence professionals who have come together to advise Barack Obama describe a candidate who they believe is open-minded and intellectually inclined to absorb information—not just the recognized current threats (terrorism, Iran, Iraq, Pakistan, a resurgent and more belligerent Russia), but the ones on the horizon (nuclear terrorism, water wars, climate change and the conflicts it could generate).
