I’m Not a President, But I Play One on TV

For the past several months Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been locked in a death struggle that involves trying to convince the American people which one of them is qualified to be the President when some anonymous phone rings at 3 AM. While I will happily concede that both of these politicians are perfectly qualified to answer a phone, neither has the background, experience, or cognitive abilities to be the President for the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day.

After doing some checking on a number of job sites to see what corporate America is looking for when they hire an executive, oddly enough the words “looking for the spouse of a CEO to lead our company into the future” or “experience as a community organizer desired” did not appear in any of the calls for an executive or even middle management. Here are some examples of the ads I found...

But Hillary has 35 years of experience. She is Ready On Day One. She has passed the Commander In Chief test. She has fought for change for 35 years. While some candidates hope for change, or demand change, she knows you have to work really hard for change. She is in the solutions business, she doesn’t just give speeches. Grandpa Rodham taught her to shoot a gun. She will obliterate Iran so she’s rough and tough enough to pass the Commander In Chief test. She even voted for a war she opposes to prove to us how rough and tough she is, because the biggest responsibility any Commander In Chief has is the responsibility of sending troops into battle. And she has passed that Commander In Chief test, yadda yadda yadda.

Can you think of one single item that Hillary changed. One piece of legislation she got through he Senate on her own - not as a co-sponsor?

I can’t.

Good Lord, she is an inveterate liar; and Mr. Obama has spent two-thirds of his time in the Congress running for the White House.

If those two are qualifed to be president, then so am I.

I think Hillary would have no problem coming up with a very impressive resume as long as the employer didn't require a lie detector test.

This country is the best country on the planet, bar none. This country is the most powerful nation on the planet, bar none. That didn’t happen by accident.

We have the best military, best scientists, best chemists, best physics geniuses, best mathematicians, best engineers, best doctors, best software engineers and moving down the totem pole, best electricians, best plumbers, etc.

That’s why I simply cannot understand why people like Clinton, McCain and Obama can rise to run for the presidency of the United States of America. It just doesn’t make any sense, Are these three dummies the best we can do in politics? I have to think that there must be, somewhere in this country, better political minds than these three unqualified idiots.

What Obama and Clinton are engaged in is, pure and simple, BS. Neither of them is taking the office of the President of the United States serious. It’s all about the power to them. Clinton wants the power of the White House and Obama wants that power for his people......Rev Wrights people. This country ain’t goin for that one.

I believe that McCain has this country at heart. The democrats want socialism. I’m gettin old and it fries my butt to see our country even have people like the Democrats are running, wanting the Oval office. We are a Republic, not communists or socialists. Americans want our country back and we want to be assured that whoever is running this outfit has our interests at heart and works towards that end.......regardless of the power structure or the money people.

Since Hubert Humphrey, consider the quality of the Democrat nominees for President:

George McGovern
Jimmy Carter
Walter Mondale
Michael Dukakis
Bill Clinton
Algore
Jean Francois Kerry
Hillary Clinton or Barack Hussein Obama

We are not in the presence of greatness...

“Neither Hillary nor Obama have anything in their background that suggests they are qualified to be President. Actually neither of them has enough managerial experience to get a job as a Taco Bell manager. Ironically somebody who runs a shift at a fast food restaurant is legitimately more qualified to be President then either of the two flaming nincompoops that the Democrats call their candidates.”

This just about nails it!

"If those two are qualifed to be president, then so am I."

But are you willing to appear on "The View" or on the "Oprah Show"?

Even though I’m still in the union, no. Oprah and the witches won’t be seeing me.
