I'm positive that any female that wanted to run for President with a "D" would be "super ready" to old Maureen. Hillary has declared that being FIRST LADY makes one qualified- I wonder if she would have brain surgery from the WIFE of the brain surgeon that had a nice degree in art criticism? Why not? If she thought Hillary was "qualified", one would think it would be a NO BRAINER!!!!
BO has been a "community organizer" and held a couple legislative jobs, including about 2 years as Senator before he started officially running for Prez. He hasn't held any decision making executive jobs AT ALL! (Just like Hillary by the way).
Sarah has had TWO executive jobs ... somehow her two years as Governor are "way too short", while BOs scant two years in the Senate (which isn't an executive job anyway) are HUGE. Gee, I wonder why that is? Historically we have ALWAYS looked to Governors, Mayors and military guys for the Presidency.
Why? Anyone that as actually ever led anything realizes that leadership is the task of making DECISIONS between alternatives that are ALWAYS flawed. We live in a flawed world--even if you ever do pick the "perfect thing", your enemies will hate it and find some way to call it bad. Leadership is a lot about realizing that and finding ways to make progress in this imperfect world.
For anyone that has led anything it is obvious that Palin is way more qualified than BO. McCain is more qualified than her only on the basis of time and his military service from long ago. Biden isn't qualified to park my car, but it seems that everyone has forgotten about him entirely, and right now it is a Palin / BO race. I'm thinking it isn't that good a sign when your #1 looks bad next to the #2 of the other party, but one wants to be sympathetic to Democrats. They could have nominated Hillary in the #1 slot and BO in the #2 and won by a bigger landslide than Reagan, but I guess they wanted it to be interesting.
