this is a news report on obama's qualifications and at least half of it is interviews with his own campaign advisors? that makes half of it unreliable doesn't it?

[Puckle74]

"Obama must comprise his deepest principals to negotiate with conservative republicans"

Why?

Did Reagen comprise with liberal dems, or Roosevelt in the 1930s?

[UltraSWG]

Do you mean compromise?

If so, then yes, every president has had to compromise. When our founding fathers wrote the constitution they had to compromise quite a bit.

Reagan knew the importance of compromise and went against his own party. Here's his own words:

"If you got seventy-five or eighty percent of what you were asking for, I say, you take it and fight for the rest later, and that's what I told these radical conservatives who never got used to it." - Ronald Reagan

Barack has everything it takes to be a great president. Vote Obama/Biden '08.
