Which team is better qualified?

You are The Boss... which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc. etc., this is an unusually critical election year.

Let's look at the educational background of your two options:

Obama:
- Occidental College - Two years.
- Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in international relations.
-Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

Biden:
- University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.
- Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:
-United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

Palin:
-Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
-North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
- University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
- Matanuska- Susitna College - 1 semester
- University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to hire

Degrees and college courses are how do-nothing liberal college professors get chosen. Experience is not relevant for them because they are never expected to do anything constructive.

Leadership experience and the ability to inspire the voters are how we elect Presidents.

Not sure either of the choices were adequate, but we now have Obama Biden and the recycled Clinton cabinet running the show.

Who else? A socialist? You think what one did or did not do in college is relevant to how that person might run the country? Idiot. A better indicator is how they conducted their recent lives. And if that happened to be in government - how they voted.

Despite being "smart and well educated"... Obama still snorted cocaine and smoked weed (by his own admission in his books, not experimented, but was a user)...still closely associated and collaborated with people for "community projects" who to this day advocate violence against the United States. Given these two factors alone and under ordinary circumstances, he would be disqualified from holding any type of security clearance for a position of trust in the government. A Harvard education does not equate to trustworthiness and good judgement.....

It's the economy - and other issues that are at the forefront of the American concern. As a Christian - your question about the Messiah is a puzzle. I am a Christian - to me the Messiah and the Christ are one in the same. Those of the Jewish faith have a different perception. Those who study Islam recognize Jesus as a prophet. Different views from different perspectives. How wise of our founding fathers to give Americans religious freedom. We're discussing politics here - not religion. No more distractions please.

As did MLK; his grandparents from Kansas; his mother; his sister; his in-laws; his professors; many of his constituents in Illinois. For some, the word Messiah means 'way shower'. As of tonight, according to the polls, 50% of the American voters feel that Obama is a way shower - leading the citizens to again demonstrate the meaning of the words found in our Constitution to the rest of the world; and to help us recapture respect from our fellow world citizens.

He also was a Hillary supporter. His lawsuit against BO was not dismissed. Now apparently there is some type of motion by BO to prevent discovery. Couldn't this be settled very quickly by Mr. Obama by simply giving the judge a copy of his birth certificate? I'm not saying I believe the lawsuit, but would like to know what is up with this issue.

Remember last year when two of your fellow conservitards were fired for snooping in Barack Obama's passport file?

Just to refresh your limited memory, you must submit your original birth certificate to the Dept of State in order to get a passport. Therefore, one may assume that Obama's original birth certificate has been scrutinized and deemed 'valid'.

I suspect the reason that Obama is fighting this frivlous lawsuit on principle is because he doesn't want to establish a precedent in which mindless conservative pot-stirrers such as you and Mr. Berg have carte blanche to delve into any and all areas of his past.

George Bush' State Department is involved in a conspiracy spanning decades going back to Obama's alleged birth to subvert the Constitution and make it appear that Obama is a US citizen by issuing him a US passport. The FEC is in the tank for Obama (Obviously) so they certified his fake birth certificate and the state of Hawaii has been colluding with Obama since his birth so that when he became President they'll have some nefarious control over him lest they reveal his secret.

Can he get away with it?

Thanks Jeff, for finding that article from Dean Barnett, a self-described and "well known Republican partisan":

"....what a stud of a law student Barack Obama was. He graduated Harvard magna cum laude. This was one honor you unquestionably had to earn. It's a very impressive feat. Back in Obama's days at Harvard, more than 50 percent of the class graduated cum laude, a fact that made graduating "with honors" a meaningless accomplishment. But graduating magna was a different kettle of fish. Barack Obama graduated right near the top of his law school class.

That fact, along with his presidency of the Law Review, makes his uniform popularity all the more impressive. Law schools are intensely competitive places.

I say the following as a well known Republican partisan--the fact that his classmates so universally held him in the highest regard suggests that Barack Obama may truly be a special person."

What a contrast between Obama, graduating magna cum laude, and McCain graduating at the bottom of his class. Plus, Palin with a 2.2 SAT score while taking 6 years to complete her undergrad degree in Journalism.

I think I'd prefer the smart one to run the country during this critical time in our nations history.

Or alternatively, send McCain to Iraq as ambassador (great job security as our troops will be there 100 years) and appoint Palin as Game Commissioner so she can go hunting with Dick Cheney.

In my opinion, I would and do favor the team with obviously less time inside the Beltway, however, to accomplish anything in our nation's capital the Executive Branch must have the support of the Legislative Branch which is now and likely will be in the hands of the Democrats for some time. It is what they are apt to do that worries me.

During the Clinton years, our government was somewhat balanced with a President and Congress at odds almost daily. With that role currently switched, Mr Bush has just recently realized what his predecessor had to go through to get anything done.

I hope enough "blue dog dems" can bring their values to the fore.
