Alaska funded Palin kids' travel

Please, as a couple of posters have asked in other threads, WHAT exactly are Sen. Obama's qualifications?

(Real world, academia doesn't count)

Oh yeah, right. Heaven forbid we elect someone with a brain.

Academic honors equate to intelligence how? We've had people from both ends of the spectrum as President, I'll take the failed suit salesman from Missouri over the Fulbright scholar any day.

Gen. George S Patton, Jr. almost flunked out of West Point. Funny, I think he went on to have an above average career.

Labor Relations lawyers who work for the postal service routinely lose to Union officers in arbitration....and the union officers are frequently only part time arbitration advocates with no degree in law.

Educational achievements do not equal real world skill. Again, in REAL WORLD terms, what has Senator Obama achieved?

I do have a short list.

THat's all I got.

What ARE the qualifications for president?

And what are McCain's qualifications? Prisoner of War? Senator? Rich guy?

Let's see...Bush was a failed businessman and a failed baseball team owner. And governor. And he has been a failure as a president. According to about 70% of the US population.

Abraham Lincoln? Not very "qualified."

George Washington? Thomas Jefferson? Harry Truman?

There is no training ground for being president.

Agreed, but there are many, many people carping about the qualifications of Gov. Palin, hence the question.

If you're going to say one is unqualified, then please prove that the other IS qualified.

[Edwina's Secretary]

Okay...he knows where Russia is.

[Puckstop31]

LH... He is 'qualified' because he is the Democrat!!! Duh!!


Ladies, i'll concede that Mrs. Palin is less than 'qualified' to be POTUS.
So, how about you stop dodging the question and tell us why you think Obama IS? I cannot recall anybody here actually talking about, specifically, what they like about Obama's policies. I would especially like to hear what you think about his economic policies.

We all need to stop hating on the "other" guy. Rather we should talk about why "OUR" guy is better. Stop letting "party" or "left/right" divide us. That's what the parties WANT. They want us fighting each other, and not focusing on THEM.

A Prince, whose character is thus marked by every act which may define a Tyrant, is unfit to be the ruler of a free people.

Also, from the same document...

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government....

We should never forget who the TRUE ruling class of this country IS. We should be forever on guard to ensure our governments do not forget that. Personally, I believe they already have.

So, we can continue to bicker on about trvial fluff... We can continue to hate on each other. OR... We can focus on what really matters. Sending the message that we are paying attention. That we are mad as hell and not gonna take it anymore.

Please... Vote your conscience on November 4th.
