If we are going to use analogies, lets compare coaching – the best coaches are said to not have been the best players- Education is not a key to leadership- Joe Biden has been the most acrimonious, conforntational Senator- taking 18 months to confirm John Bolton to the UN at a time when N Korea and Iran were running amuck- He took 9 months to confirm Justice Thomas after illegally leaking incorrect information confirmed to be untrue by the FBI

For being educated at harvard and Columbia, Barack sure does not exhibit the intellignece that one would assume this education would secure

Lets see- He goes to church for 20 years and names a book after a preacher spewing anti american hatred, but yet had not idea

He formed alliances with Bill Ayers who in 2001 stated he regrets for not doing more and yet still maintained his associations

He is a Senator from a state with the major city, Chicago boasting a higher murder rate than that of the Iraqii was this year, highest salses tax rate and lowest graduation rate int he nation
Barach says he is going to lower taxes on 95% of the Americans and yet the bottom 80% of tax payers pay only 14 percent of all taxes- simple math-
He says drilling is not he answer but yet when Presient Bush announces his lift ont he ban of offshore drilling, oil drops to less than half-
With the Birtish, Swedish, Canadian and now Danish helath care plans all failing and experiencing backlogs and how to pay issues, he wants to nationalize health care and force pharmaceuticals to lower their prices-
He thinks that if the employeees get to keep more of their employers money, that they can save more, faster- how does this work if the employer goes out of business

Education- please – look at the root casues of the issues you speak of-

You are the Boss. Which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, 2 wars, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures, etc., which team is better qualified?

Educational Background:

Obama:

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

I think the Obama/Biden ticket is in a better position to address the challenges we face.

Um… let’s not forget the test GW received and failed early in his first term. 9/11 saw America draw together which is what Obama will best do for us. We can’t afford another Bush/McCain divinionist regime. And really… do you think nobody would test the old man from AZ?

McCain’s been tested in the 20 some years in govt and judging by the size of the crisis we’re in, he’s failed miserably. McCain is ill, bitter and a hothead. If he’s such a maverick, why is he a member of the republican party? Why not have a party of his own? Because he’s just like Bush. A republican is a republican is a republican. We’ve had enough. Time to show McCain the door!

After 8 years of Bush the other side has a lot of nerve telling us what to fear. In what way will Obama invite our enemies to attack us, and in what way does the threat increase beyond what it was under George W Bush??

Once again, Republican fears are not my fears, Republican enemies are not my enemies, Republican boogie men are not my boogie men.

The “test” Joe Biden was referring to is the threat of a false flag attack, or coup d’etat… you know… like the one we had in 1963.

When Cecil Rhodes decided that the best way to promote socialism in the Federal Republic of the United States would be to bring the “conspiracy” out in the open; that’s when he and his “Round Table” enacted his “Rhodes Scholarship”.
A conspiracy ceases to be a conspiracy at the point when you can tell people the truth about the erosion of our society, and they shrug it off and reply “That’s just the way it is”.
We can likely gauge whether or not the “open conspiracy” Cecil Rhodes has been a success in ten days; sink or swim?

I kind of agree….I don’t know how you can call that one of Joe’s gaffe’s. With “mark my words” and “if you remember nothing more”. This is something he’s thought about. Pretty scary if you ask me.

I think the switching of presidents in the tumultuous time is going to test the leadership abilities of either candidate no matter what the outcome.

Even so, why would Biden say something like that? I don’t know, I try and try and Obama just doesn’t seem like the type to be able to lead a country. In a time of crisis America needs a strong leader. He needs to be aware and make the right choices for ALL of America. I’m not sure Obama will be able to do all he says or wants to do because he lacks the experience to do so…

Though that’s just my opinion. Politics are politics. I’m just doing my current events homework =/
