“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 Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days. I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.”

I agree completely with you. His charisma seems to suck many people in to this realitilly unknown person. The real question is does he have the inner qualities and knowledge to be President of the United States?

So, on that note I guess our choices should be clear!

I wonder why this is in the restaurant discussion at present?? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama

I think it has to do with refrigerators :joke:

The choices aren't what I would have envisioned on either side. HOWEVER, Obama has no resume. What has he done? I think we know what he is and who he is now. I'm saddened at how the Democrat Party has gone off the left deep end. I really felt the tilt when the Screamer took over as Chairman.

Travel: A lot of talk without saying anything. What qualifications this guy has? Being a lawyer? His achievements: Getting a job-training site set up for getting an after-school program for young people put in place. See if you can name something else.

Maybe because it's food for thought? :

Efrahin - my only point is that not all of our successful leaders had what other's might describe as "qualifying experience." Some criticized Reagan for this as well, yet he was immensely popular and admired by many.
I don't care to get into a back and forth on "see if you can name..." I do my own research on issues and candidates and am not posting to change anyone else's opinion.
All I am suggesting, with this as well as the lobbying topic, is that we look at both sides of each issue.

The facts of the matter are he is in no way qualified. He has no track record as a State Senator or US Senator let alone be President of the USA.
I know this thread won't get far without the usual partisan bashing, but be that as it may.

If this were any, ANY industry in the USA looking for the President of a International, International President, his resume' would not make the cut. I can say that from personal experience in weeding out the unqualified.

He is the Dems nomination survivor....to date, hence their candidate....good, bad or indifferent.

He will be shined up and presented as the new best for America.

When all other rationale fails, remember he is a politician, and for this it doesn't matter what party....if his lips are moving he is lying!!!!!!!!!!!!!
No matter what he says now, should we be so unfortunate or to others fortunate for him to win the Presidency....all will find out sooner than later he, like all his predecessors will not be able to deliver on most of what he is pedaling to the naive.

That has been proven by most all prior Presidents and has nothing to do with party.....

Anyway, it is too bad there are no better options for either party....so may the best showman win.....and GOD help us all.

Oh, I'm sorry. When I saw the title of thread, I thought it was referring to John McCain... :dontknow:

Hey jimmy, cute.

I don't think either Obama or McCain are good choices for the position. Obama lacks experience and McCain is showing some worrisome signs of aging. Let's just hope that whoever is elected will have the wisdom to rely on qualified advisors.
