I did find and watch the video. Seems like Obama is making a very open and genuine remark. At the time he appears to have been focused on the job of Senator and didn't have his mind around what it might take to be a US President.

This is precisely one of my issues with Palin. I don't think 5 months is enough time to be mentally prepared for a job you may have to take on a moment's notice. While I wouldn't say that Obama is has a perfect resume, I think he's clearly passed this milestone, which in my mind makes him much more qualified for the job.

I'd still rather have Joe Biden though, gaffes and all
