You're right, Carter had decades more experience proving himself than your boy has (nuclear scientist, Commander of a nuclear sub, Governor of a large state). Carter has accomplished more in retirement than your guy has in the first fifteen years of his casreer.

Obama is a mediocre intellect with a smooth style and a racial/generational appeal.

You would be well served to remember that when asked in a televised debate to list actual accomplishments all he could come up with was the co-authored 'patients' bill of rights' bill that, as Hillary pointed out, never became law...iow, his 'accomplishment' was a failure.

If he were not Halfrican-American we would not even be talking about him or do you want to argue that he is the presumptive next potus based on his CV?

Finally, upon what exactly are you basing your conviction that Obama is deep and brilliant, and that he is just waiting to show us, especially considering the fact that he has been out in the world for fifteen years and has not exhibited any brilliance to date?
Easy, I had a chance to actually listen to what his backers are planning. They've completely co-opted conservatism and conservative dialog into their liberalism. I don't expect you to understand it now. But you will.

First of all you can take your condescending attitude and shove it.

Second, you can try to actually respond to the question of how your boy will accomplish anything rather than refering to you-tube videos of his supporters. What precisely is there in Obama's CV that leads you to the conclusion that he has just been hiding his light under a bushel for fifteen years? What has he ever accomplished that would lead you to believe that he can simultaneously handle immigration, the budget, the WOT, the Joint Chiefs, the UN, our allies, our enemies, Social Security, the credit crisis, global oil thuggery, health care, the inevitable natural disasters, China, Putin, Pakistan (that's right, he will invade), education, etc...when he couldn't even get a single bill through the process?

Please be specific....we know that you can since you are so much smarter than the rest of us.

“nuclear scientist, Commander of a nuclear sub, Governor of a large state”

Not sure of CV
http://www.history.navy.mil/faqs/faq60-14.htm

“Nuclear scientist”: Not sure could exactly say Nuke Scientist - A engineer? Yes. Graduated with a BS in Eng from USNA; Nuclear? Yes, well worked at Navy Nuclear Reactors. A Nuke Engeineer maybe

“Commander of a nuclear sub”: Not CO; XO of USS K-1 (Receved dolphins ergo “qualifiying for command but did not screen for command) resigned after 6 years in the Navy

Governor of a large state: 15th largest in 1970 Good call.
