Don't you think that Obama could use a little more experience?

Question

This is the highest position in the the Nation. It's like hiring someone that works at Mccdonalds to be a CEO of a big Corporation.

Answer 1

Can't be worse than the brainchild we've got in the oval office now.  Seriously, my dog would have done a better job.

Three neurosurgeons are at a party...they're all bragging about their accomplishments.  

The first one says that he reattached someone's legs after a railroad accident.  Now that patient is going to run the NYC marathon.  The others nod.

Not to be outdone, the second one says "Well, I reattached a guy's hand.  It was almost completely severed.  Now he's going to play a concert at Carnegie Hall."

The third one, however, tops both of them.  "There was a ranching accident a few years back and I fixed up the patient.  It was really bad...all that was left was a horse's a** and a cowboy hat.  Now, it's president!"

Thank you and goodnight.

Answer 2

Bad analogy.  He is a US Senator, before that a State Senator.

Compare his background to Abraham Lincoln:

In the Illinois HOUSE

TWO years in the US HOUSE

IN THE 1840's!

Then in 1860, having been out of politics for over a decade after his brief time in it, he ran for President. Famous for being an orator.

You compare stints as Senator on both the state and federal level to working at McDonald's?

Answer 5

yes i think he has a long way to go

Answer 6

He would be better able to qualify as an African American (As a Brit I believe that means black) if both parents were black. Why does everyone refer to him as the likely first black president when he is of mixed race; white father, black mother. He could, on the same reasoning be referred to as a white contender. Have we all lost the ability to call a spade a spade?

Answer 7

I tend to agree with ya...as per the comparisons that others want to make with Lincoln...gee do we want another civil war?
