I guess that the best answer is he is the opposite of our next president. He has a strong moral code. He surrounds himself with people that often disagree with him, not yes men. He has a strong world view. He truly likes people; that is he does not see them as tools. He is an idealist more concerned with the America of the future, than today's issues. He's a smart guy, that knows government, law and came to office with a strong educational background as well as 11 years experience in government. Lastly he's got a good sense of humor and rarely uses it to offend others.Because in the last two elections the system worked. Obama, Romney, and McCain were all well qualified for the office. They weren't under threat of being prosecuted, were outright liars, weren't boldface racist or xenophobes. The two parties nominated candidates that represent the philosophies of their party and for the most part their actions were that of gentlemen and statesmen. They conducted campaigns they could be proud of. The two parties did a good job.But they weren't protesting the 'failed system' when Obama won, were they?The election of Trump of course but I think it goes deeper than that. We have seen democratic elections around the world that have resulted in despots and demigods coming to power but we never believed that could happen in the US. We had faith that our two party system would nominated good qualified candidates but they failed so the people were faced with the decision of choosing between two bad choices. In effect, the protest is about a failed system and not just election of Trump.What exactly are they protesting?They will accomplish nothing I know, but they are important for the sake of symbolism. The rest of this country needs to show the world that we reject that orange sack of shit as president.
Save for a little rioting, they've been peaceful. I hope they stay that way.

Why do you feel Obama was qualified?
