Presidents sometimes don’t need experience when they stand for issues such as change. Obama is an action figure that is saying, “I wanna be the change president!” This shows that Obama stands for change. There is a girl holding a battery labeled ‘experience’ and she is saying, “it works without batteries?” This further shows how Obama has no experience. In this case Obama is for change but has no experience, which works.

Voted yes on NAFTA(North America Free Trade Agreement) in 1993. He stated, "Free trade is something I think is vital to the future of America." And has called himself "the biggest free marketer and free trader that you will ever see."
