What did we know about Bush before he was elected? I mean it's not like Obama appeared out of thin air. He was an Illinois state senator, then a U.S. senator. I still contend that the only way someone could keep saying "we don't know enough about this guy" is through willful ignorance.
BS, hardly ANYBODY had heard the name Obama until he became a Junior Senator of TWO YEARS and then started running for President.. Before that he was a lowly State Senator from one of the most corrupted state governments in this country, Illinois
Exactly. I distincly remember watching election returns the night he was elected to the senate, and thinking "where the f*ck did this guy come from"? He ran against Keyes, who had far more name recognition, at least on the national scene, and whose personal philosophy and views were well-known to anyone who keeps up with politics even at a minimal level.
