The best evidence of Obama’s readiness to lead the nation is th e ability with which he has run for president. After all, what is more difficult, complicated, or challenging than getting elected president? What other life experience better illustrates one’s qualification to hold the office than a manifest skill in seeking it. For anyone who has ever been elected president, the race that sent them to the White House was the single most important event in their lives and dwarfs any other experience they might have had before running.

Well, Dick, I would respectfully disagree. As currently configured, the President is a much tougher job than the Founding Fathers’ intended and is arguably an impossible job!
What is more difficult than “getting elected”?
I believe running a F500 company in the current times is harder than getting elected. Being President is much like being CEO of a global enterprise. Except the President doesn’t have external market signals to guide to.
As original intended being President was easier. MYOB. Don’t spend a lot on the Navy. And, keep foreign people from killing Americans.
I think that Obama and Clinton are both uniquely UNQUALLIFIED to be President. What has either accomplished?
Don’t think I like the guy who slipped away from the Keating 5 conviction any better, He’s demonstrable wrong on McCain Feingold and a bunch of other things.
So, we again have very poor candidates to choose from. Maybe we should just stay home. It doesn’t seem like anything ever changes.
Sigh!
