Texting decision highlights Obama inexperience

Obama announced last week that he would disclose his running mate choice through text messaging, which was expected to happen Friday night or Saturday.

Obama’s inexperience is well documented, but one would think that someone in his campaign could have warned him that his texting decision would invite hoax messages.

It’s not as if he were in high school texting to see what his date plans to wear to the prom.

There is a report at the link below titled, Text hoaxes plague Obama VP plan.

By the time Barack Obama is ready to announce his vice presidential pick, will anyone believe him?

In recent days, as speculation and anticipation has mounted, so too have phony text messages declaring Obama’s supposed running mate.

Already the hoax text messages have declared Obama;s running mate to be Evan Bayh, Hillary Clinton and evern Olympic gold medalist Michael Phelps. How long before Madonna or Michael Jackson make the list?

There also were reports it was John Kerry, Walter Mondale and even Eliot Spitzer.

One thing this exercise has shown is that Madonna or Michael Phelps would probably bring experience to the ticket.
