Obama a Loser?

A recent post in Igopolitics.com seems to accuse the American public of being "brainwashed" into socialism by the Democratic Party. and in particular, by Barack Obama. While professing to champion American values, the editorial questions whether Obama shouldn't be "judged by the company (he) keep(s)" The author seems to believe that Obama would be the first president to take office without extensive experience. One of these examples is that Obama has never spent time in the military. Well, neither did Bush. And two former field generals, Grant and Eisenhower served their country in the military but had no experience in the political field. And history records them as barely average as presidents.
Obama's stance on banning semi-automatic weapons is viewed as a harbinger of his real intent, to ban all firearms. And his expressed willingness to spend money on foreign nations is viewed as communistic. It's true that Obama is young and somewhat untested in those traits of character and resolve we'd like to see in our presidents. But if he'll need on the job training, it certainly won't be the first time America has seen this happen. Hopefully, he's a quick study.
