I am not a big fan of McCain but I do like his VP choice.

Seriously ! Think About it ! ! ! ! ! !
Let's look at it again to see how absurd it is.
You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.
You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.
You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.
You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT....
'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.
That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of George Washington, Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start. AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel comfortable with this and campaigning for him.
We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with this for the President of the United States of America?
Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.
Substance means nothing; Democrats are simply looking at image. They have little fear of an Obama presidency as of course Nancy Pelosi will keep Congress in line and override anything stupid that Obama does; he’s simply a rubber stamp for their policies.
He couldn’t be a district mgr at Mcdonalds with a Bachelors.
There is NO record of Obama having taken any classes beyond High School.

What would it matter if he were in the Senate for 20 years? Being a Senator these days means being a pampered, out-of-touch-with-reality, overpaid professional layabout with delusions of godhood. Being a governor at least requires executive skills, and certainly, being a Naval officer requires executive skills. Being a Senator requires nothing but that you sucker enough people to vote for you.

What the hell is that cartoon moose? Some kind of new-aged silly-assed Avitar?
And the 143 days might have been reasonably substantial if it had come on top of, say, a 20 year military or corporate career. He literally jumped from being a “present” vote in the state legislature to a “present” vote in the senate for 143 days.
The abject hypocrisy of questioning Palin’s credentials, given this lightweight resume, is a kind of contradiction only the brain-damaged left can justify.
I’ll sit down and ponder this as soon as I get that moose thats been bothering my sister.AWB
But he is black. Surely that like gives him some 100,000 years of experience white folk can’t understand.
And he was a community organizer like Jesus Christ.
.
.............yep.
C’mon don’t be too hard on Barry. After all, he did write two books and has Oprah’s endorsement. /sarcasm
Look at those that were running. He was the best the ‘rats could present/package/placate-their-collectivist-base at this time.
He won’t allow his transcript from his undergraduate days at Columbia University to be released.
He “lost” his thesis on Soviet nuclear policy (see “Where in the World is Obama’s Missing Thesis“ which might provide insight regarding his seeming lack of knowledge about Soviet policy during the Kennedy years).
He won’t answer questions about his days at Harvard Law School.
He “lost” his Illinois Senate records.
He will only release a simple one-page letter from his doctor on his medical condition.
He won’t release his application to the state bar, which, as National Review’s Jim Geraghty notes raises questions about whether he told the truth about parking tickets and drug use, among other issues.
He won’t disclose list of his clients from his law firm days or the nature of the work he did for them as a lawyer (his clients include the indicted political fixer Tony Rezko).
He walks away from uncomfortable questions about Rezko at a news conference.
His cultists try to shut down inquiry into his stewardship of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge by sliming a journalist investigating his days at the helm of that group, which blew through $100 million dollars with no discernible benefit for the schools and students that it was putatively designed to help (what does the constitutional law lecturer say to the chilling of free speech by his acolytes?)...

P.U.M.A.
Well, I don't know about that one.
“Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol.”
There are a lot of Americans who, incredibly, think they are doing just that.
Really??!! So his big Harvard Law School thing is just made up! I know there were a lot of holes in his bio at the convention. No pictures, etc, to prove anything. There seems to be no record of any cases he has worked, either. I have a feeling this guy is perpetrating the biggest fraud on America in history and its amazing that so many people are looking through Governer Palins’ trash trying to find something damaging and not even bothering to make even the most perfunctary investigation into Obamas’ past.
>>>After all, he did write two books
Three books.
- The Audacity of Hope: Thoughts on Reclaiming the American Dream (Vintage) by Barack Obama
- Dreams from My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance by Barack Obama
- Change We Can Believe In: Barack Obama’s Plan to Renew America’s Promise by Barack Obama
That last one never gets mentioned. That just makes me curious.
But what about all the stupid sh*t Nancy pulls?
