Politics and religion.

Touche' and I think that fact should probably scare you.

That one was just for you Pam. As an Illini I prefer to point out that the only political experience Abraham Lincoln had before being elected president was one term in the Illinois legislature. And he did pretty well in a complex and dangerous time!

And I think Obama was making a joke about not looking like any president on our money. There are still those who have a problem with his race. I heard some West Virginia voters who said they do not trust people of "the other race" and would not vote for Obama for that reason (at least they didn't bring up his Muslim religion....)

Today's OC Register (a newspaper to the right of WSJ CSM and Fox News -- put together!) had a editorial about the success of presidents compared to their prior government experience.

Some of the points made in the article - Obama already has more government experience than 3 of the 4 guys on Mount Rushmore. Only Jefferson had more government tenure.

Some of the poorest performing presidents - James Buchanan, Nixon, Andrew Johnson, had extensive government experience.

Teddy Roosevelt had a year as Assistant Navy secretary, 2 years as New York governor and 6 months as vice president.

The writer concluded with a quote from George Bernard Shaw..."Men are wise in proportion, not to their experience, but to their capacity for experience."

So true & expressed so well. I like that quote.

Can you supply a link to the article? Thanks.

Thanks for the link Sara. I read the local paper also but it has very little
coverage of political or world news commentary. I must search it out online.

Gosh, I really miss Molly Ivins these days. I did find an 2006 column she had written. I re-read it just for the wit & humor.

Oh, that is precious!

Does this apply to that fat beesturd they want to execute?

They should let him experience death, he does have proportion.

Wrong thread RICHARD. There is one about the execution elsewhere. Try and stay on topic!

Once upon a time there was a Asian restaurant in So Cal named Sam Dang Ting's.
A writer for the Auto Club newsletter, who wrote about the eatery asked the owner about the name of the establishment, and what it meant, the owner told him that it meant the Sam Dang Ting in English.

Politician?
Criminal?

Sam Dang Ting!

The Obama plane problem I posted about last month was a lot more serious
than officials made known at the time. Wow, that would have changed
everything.

You'd think that both these idiots would have learned thier lessons about talking to 'men of the cloth'.

Between the stuttering, the amused look on the codger's face and the smarmy pastor's "slickness" I lost interest rather quickly.


Leave it to some self proclaimed religious Cuckoo Clock to put together a self-promoting event at his own 'church'.

Morons.

LOL, did anyone ever find out about the idiots who interrupted the BO speecha a few weeks ago?

Betcha BO had the windows open on the plane and his ears caught the wind....emergency? I should say so!
