Voting “present” 90% of the time during a short career as a state senator, and being a US senator for six months — doesn’t make someone qualified to be CIC?

A few corrections.

Steve Urkel had self reflection. “Did I do that” are words that have never been uttered by King Putt.

Dancing Boy Magazine should be replaced with Blue Boy Magazine.

That is all.

Alternate questions:

1. Does the US have 57 or 58 states?
2. Can a corpse and a man unite?
3. In Austria, do the people speak Austrian or some as yet undiscovered language?

To: Kaslin; All
Thank you for referencing that article Kaslin. Please bear in mind that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"Take the Presidential Competency Exam!"

The problem with the idea of presidential competency exams is the following imo. They arguably ignore that the Oval Office is not the most powerful office in the land as Obama guard dog Fx News would like for people to think.

In fact, although patriots criticize Obama for spending so much time on golf courses, given the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers, and military issues aside, the Founding States had arguably intended for presidents to spend most of their time on golf courses.

Note that since the plurality of clauses in Congress’s constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers are military related, that being elected as federal lawmaker or president would be a good way to honor outstanding military retirees who still want to serve their country imo.

But as long as constitutionally clueless patriots unthinkingly continue to play “the Oval Office is the most powerful office in the land” game with Constitution-ignoring RINOs and Dems in DC, it’s just a matter of time before we have another president as lawless as Obama in the Oval Office.

Patriots need to exercise their voting muscle to peacefully force the corrupt feds to surrender state powers which they have stolen from the states back to the states.

Steve Urkel would be a much better President than Obama. So would King George III.
