Some, myself included, believe that Barack Obama does not have the experience or qualifications to become President.
However, two lessons from history to consider.
Warren Harding was not qualified for the Presidency, however, he was given the 1920 Republican nomination by the party bosses as a compromise candidate in part because he was handsome and a good speaker. His Presidency turned out to be a disaster.
Richard Nixon was one of the few Presidential candidates who came to the Presidency truly qualified for the office, and look at how that turned out.
So lack of experience or an abundance of experience do not necessarily determine how successful the President will be.
