Obama has the potential to be a great leader, even if he doesn't already have a lot of experience. Also, someone with experience is someone that has the same mindset as all the other politicians. Perhaps it's time we got some fresh perspective in the white house.
To add on to that Lincoln knew absolutely nothing about war when he into office but managed to preside over the civil war and took a personal interest in war strategy.

Any employer will take the candidate that is eager to learn rather than the one with experience because more than likely, the one with experience is stuck in their ways.
