I believe it will be, no matter who wins the Primary, a Very hard concept for many American's. The first time is always a *****, plain and simple. I personaly believe that anyone can be President, as long as they follow the qualifications:

Does it say anywhere about Political Experience? No, now that does not mean Bubba from some unknown american backcrounty should be elected to run, But Obama is not stupid, He has some Idea of what he is doing, and as it was stated farther up the thread, who surronds him is just as important. I say give the man a chance. And if he turns out to be a complete load of crap, its only 4 years. I suffered Bush for 7 years now, and it cant possiably be worse then that.
