You couldn’t get a job at McDonalds and become district manager  
after 143 days of experience.

You couldn’t become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience  
of being a surgeon.

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 colonel 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 okay with  
this and campaigning for him. We wouldn’t accept this in our own line of work,yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America?

Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol!  
Please forward this before it’s too late!

The experience issue is a joke. Presidents have scores of advisors and experts. On top of that, Obama has ALWAYS been a liberal, while McCain abandoned moderacy when becoming a conservative became the only viable path to primary nomination.

I supported McCain in 2000. He disgusts me now. He made my decision very easy.

I do not doubt Obama’s love for the country, I just think he has no good ideas on how to fix shit.

And the arm over the heart is just something you do. Is it right or wrong, who cares. But if you are trying to be the President of the USA, put your damn hand over your heart. :slap:

and x2 on Lemmings being a great game. I wasted a lot of hours on those damn things. 😃
