I imagine Obama was exposed to more intelectuals than Harvard Law has on its faculty.
Just guessing.
He reminds me of myself in a way, also.

Black kid growing up in a mixed society without a Dad. I won some awards and did various drugs here and there.

Hey, why don't you and I run for President/Vice President?

It sounds like we are qualified.

Google is my friend. Maybe if you are smart it will be your friend, too.

This is the perfect example of mud slinging. You keep throwing hoping that something sticks.

You are reading the situation incorrectly.

Based upon the information you have provided thus far, constitutionally you are qualified. So please, run...

I realize that was tongue and cheek, but you hit the nail on the head. That's why it's getting harder for me to decide. Obama is a regular American and so is Palin.
And I'm pretty sure if we wanted to you and/or I could have given it a shot.

Sorry, I will pass. And that reminds me. I wouldn't be able to vote "present" 120 times if I was a Senator.

I would feel obligated to do what I could to help my constituents. So I would HAVE to vote on some bills.

That is, unless I believed being a Senator was inconsequential. Maybe that's why Obama voted present 120 times. He knew it wouldn't make a difference if he didn't express his constituents on those bills.

Good thing GOVERNOR Palin didn't have that view of HER job.

And that makes me wonder, if Obama didn't intend to help his constituents and/or the country by voting on the bills at hand, WTF was he doing in the Senate???

Obama was named editor of the Harvard Law Review but wrote nothing for the journal.

He graduated and went to Chicago and joined a cult. A Black Liberation Theology cult.

He became a State Senator and voted "present" 120 times.

"You can't vote present in the Oval Office."

He spent 143 days in the U.S. Senate before announcing for POTUS.

Obma & Biden have ZERO executive experience.

ZERO.

Thanks. And kudos to your aspirations for higher office.

I would bet that you have more executive experience than Obama/Biden.

You managed a household.

ZERO.
And this explains how blind you are by partisanship. How sad for you. Obama has just as much, if not more, experience as Lincoln did when he ran. Lincoln is considered by many to be one of our greatest presidents. But instead of looking for something constructive, you continually look for EXCUSES not arguments.

Fine. Enjoy yourself.
