The one thing that I worry about Obama is his lack of experience in politics, when say compared to others like Clinton or Edwards. Despite me being very appealed by his stances on many issues in America, I feel his lack of more years under his belt would undermine his true potential in the eyes of his detractors.
One circumstance that was talked about on a talk radio show I listen to (Coast to Coast AM) was Clinton and Obama running together, with Hilary as President and Obama as Vice President. Four or more years as VP would give both himself and his image a needed boost in his political and leadership experience, and pave the way for a more suitable President in my opinion.
Although on the other hand, perhaps such a fresh face and young candidate as Obama would be just what the United States needs right about now. If there's anyone who would be more apt to shake up the establishment and make bold and decisive changes in the political landscape of America, it would have to be someone such as Obama who is still getting his feet wet and is also perhaps less prone to corruption than most politicians seem to be over the course of time.
