Experienced to be President?

• You couldn't get a job at McDonald's and become District Manager after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn't become Chief of Surgery after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the Superintendent after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn't join the military and become a General after 143 days of experience.
• You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the Nightly News Anchor after 143 days of experience.

    BUT....   

'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 .... 143 days.

We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that's all it is - a start,
and strangely, a large sector of the American public is OK with this and campaigning for him.

We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet many are OK with this for the President of the United States of America?

Come on folks, we're not voting for the next American Idol!

Well, he was a community organizer.  That's got to account for something.

"Community Organizer"  Yea, right.  He worked for Acorn, which is a liberal group which many members are under inditement for filing illegial and "dead" people voter registrations. 

As far as government "experience" goes...I'm not so sure I beleive that IS important.  What I want is someone that understands what the average person goes through and has the moral character to lead. Have they been tested by life and how did they react.  You may not agree with everything that McCain has done, but you can't say he took the easy route.  Can you say that about Obama?
