Don’t forget Eisenhower was president of Columbia University after the war. Owebama is a lawyer without a license who never tried one case in court, but who managed a Chicago gift job of Constitutional lecturer at U of Chicago.

Owebama couldn’t stutter his way out of a wet paper bag.

As far as the tv changing election qualifications, I’ve said that before. No longer do we have real people with real experiences (and faces to match) but rather have John Edwards types, with their disarming good looks and $400 haircuts covering up a host of personal issues. Lincoln could never be elected today, he was unphotogenic and was tall with too long arms. Instead, we elect the pretty Gary Condits, scum all.

Before TV most of our Presidents were men who had been tested and found made of stern enough stuff to be leaders of some merit. It seems to me that TV has made appearance and charisma far too important in the selection of our leaders. Our pop culture is so deeply shallow the result has been politicians that reflect it in all its paltry shallowness.

As an example, compare Obama as President to Eisenhower. Eisenhower was a man who had planned and executed the Allied victory in Europe. He knew how to lead men and to accomplish big things. He was not deeply conservative but he didn’t work to enlarge the Federal government as so many since him have managed to do. The comparison of the two resumes is to compare a deep level of experience and accomplishment by Eisenhower to an almost non-existent level of the same in Obama. TV has not been the blessing it might have been.

I hazard the guess that these military officers have seen and done far too much in service of their country and the hard (sometimes brutally hard) work they’ve done to reach their current rank has made them humble about it.

Each time I pass by one of these boards I am reminded of the children’s song “One of these things is not like the others, one of these things just doesn’t belong…”

(hmmm…..I don’t think I should ever re-read the Silmarillion again…..)

You read The Silmarillion? I gave up before I hit 20 pages. Maybe it was my Catholic upbringing, but Bible study was never my thing, and the Silmarillion was much too ‘biblical’, in a bad way.

Anyway, Peggy Noonan says: “He’s busy. He’s running for president. But why? He could be president now if he wanted to be.”

How many days has he actually spent IN the White House? Working? Is that too much to ask? From the very beginning, he had to escape the house he tried so hard to get into – we provide them with 6 chefs, and he has to take the full cadre and fly Michelle to Chicago for dinner… he has to fly to Colorado to sign a bill, can’t do it in the office – he’s a joke. And he’s worthless.

Tsunami. Landslide. 60/40 roust. Send this campaigner packing.

Nemesis is all over Barack Obama full time.

Yep, it makes sense not to vote for Romney. Then Obama has an easier path to a second term. I’m sure Obama plans to cut spending by at least as much as Romney – maybe more. :>)

The deficit has to be put on a sustained downward path while the conditions for robust economic growth are also established. Getting back to a manageable fiscal situation requires a two pronged attack. It can’t all be done with austerity.

Who offers that two pronged attack? Methinks his name is not Obama.
