At least Carter and Dukaka were governors. At least they held some sort of executive power. Obama is not even in that category.

Has there ever been someone that has not held executive power of some sort before being elected? Mayor, General, Governor? I know there have been Senators and Reps, but they have been longstanding.

In my mind, the only one I can think of is Lincoln. And he ain’t no Lincoln.

O’Bama cannot make his own decisions so someone(s) else will make them for him. That someone will not have the interests of the country in mind. Clinton was also indecisive but he seems to have made his own non-decisions and some decisions as well. He rolled with the flow and we got Welfare Reform and a lot less economic damage than could have been expected.
