- The claim "'''Obama has absolutely no military, executive or foreign policy experience'''" is laughingly false and makes this article look plain ignorant.  There are well documented details of Obama's foreign policy experience in the article, yet this sentence remains.  The reference for this claim is hopelessly incorrect.  While this reference is in compliance with the commandments, it was obviously written by someone that didn't do their homework as proof of Obama's foreign policy experience is readily available.  The same cannot be said of the next dubious claim.

:: You're clueless.  Obama has zero military or executive experience, and his foreign policy experience is in the lowest 10% of senators.  Has he made a trip to Western Europe yet???--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:06, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
    
- "'''He has no clear personal achievement that cannot be explained as the likely result of affirmative action'''."  This comment is the sort of gossip that does not belong in an encyclopedia.  Not only has this ridiculous claim been removed and reinserted many times, not a shred of evidence is presented to back up this basically idiotic nonsense.  I'd like to think the leadership of this encyclopedia would set a good example for others to follow when writing articles, but there are way too many articles like this one that prove otherwise.

:: The evidence is overwhelming, with examples provided in the entry.  All you have to do is cite some counterexamples.  You can't.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:06, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
    
- "'''He won a seat in the U.S. Senate after liberals obtained the release of confidential and personally embarrassing divorce records of his opponent, Jack Ryan, forcing him to resign from the race and be replaced by an out-of-state candidate, Alan Keyes'''."  This claim is completely without merit.  According to Fox News, Ryan was not forced out and the National Republican Senatorial Committee encouraged him to remain.  The idea that '''liberals somehow obtained the release of the confidential and personally embarrassing divorce records''' is disingenuous at the least and most likely a lie.  According to Fox News, the records were released when the ''Chicago Tribune'' and Chicago TV station ''WLS'' sued.  Divorce proceedings are a matter of public record unless the there is a compelling interest to make them private.  According to the court, relevant portions of the divorce were kept private and the remaining portions were released.  Please note that I am not quoting a liberal source for this information.

:: The records were confidential and the newspaper that sued for their relief was supportive of Obama.  Yes, Jack Ryan was forced out as a result of the disclosures and no one familiar with politics credibly argues otherwise.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:06, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
    
- This article was unlocked for a brief time a while ago until some vandals made their presence known.  Even though the article was vandalized, it actually showed some signs of improvement.  As it stands now, this article belongs on an Obama-hating lunatic fringe website, not part of a 'trustworthy encyclopedia'.

:: I don't expect this factual entry to persuade anyone who is a big supporter of [[affirmative action]], because they don't care what Obama stands for or what his experience is.--[[User:Aschlafly|Aschlafly]] 17:06, 29 March 2008 (EDT)
