    It’s NOT his inexperience that creeps me out. It’s the experience he has had–at the lefty indoctrination centers that pass for American universities; at Jeremiah Wright’s church; and with pals like Rezko, Ayers et al. His world view is anti-American, and even Charles Krauthammer seems to miss the point that it’s not just his lack of leadership experience that makes him unfit. McCain’s speech Thursday night could not have drawn a clearer distinction between the two candidates.

    BTW, Bear is more qualified to be Prez than Obama ever dreamed of being despite some crude comments posted here against him by the swoop and poop trolls.
    He mentioned Gov. Palin months ago and we were very excited McCain did pick Sarah as VP..

Maybe I missed it. Can anyone enlighten me? Or, are the media and the democrats just going to take his word that he did good things? Is there some list out there that explains every accomplishment of Barack Obama and the documentation to prove it?

    The hive-mind inhabiting the body of LGM has no gender. It is a collective mind that is the enemy to lovers of freedom the world over.

    As this is basically a site dedicated to battling this collective faceless monster, it comes here in an attempt to demoralize and propagandize.

    Therefore it is only natural that individualists would enjoy poking the hydra with a stick, and from what I can tell there is a healthy competition to see who can do so with the most wit and originality.

    I think Obama is for sticking it to our country, by destroying our economy, our military, and our morale.

    The U.S.A. has been in the sights of the collective ever since its founding in 1776.

    In the great scheme of things, it’s not about our country per se. It’s about ruling and controlling all human beings.

    To do that, the collective needs to wipe out hope for the individual first, and that means infecting and co-opting the greatest anti-collective political achievement in the history of mankind, the U.S.A.

    The election of Obama would be the collective’s greatest victory in its historic battle to enslave mankind.

    Note that hive-mind wants to redirect thoughts to lobbyists for Georgia.

    That is because it wants to deflect away from its recent success, namely 1) the re-infecting of Russia, 2) re-infection of South Ossetia through immigration of collectivists to its territory and 3) the conquering of Georgia (a bastion of free-willed individuals) through overwhelming use of force.

    Hive-mind knows that an enemy asleep is easily destroyed, and wants to put you to sleep with its lullabyes of lobbyists.

    What really bothers me is Obama wants to do away with the secret ballot for Union votes. That has serious implications and it’s a story that has seen little light.

    The secret ballot is a voting method in which a voter’s choices are confidential. The key aim is to ensure the voter records a sincere choice by forestalling attempts to influence the voter by intimidation or bribery.

    If you’re ready to revisit the era of union strong-arm tactics and closed shops (which have seen businesses flee for ‘right to work’ states), a vote for Obama is recommended.

    I posted this same comment on the comments following the comparison chart. As it relates to BO’s “executive experience”, it needs to be pointed out as often as possible.

    People working in Obama’s campaign are NOT employees. They are ass-kissing syncophants who follow him in lockstep because they believe the message. To be fair, that exists in all political campaigns to one degree or another, but from what I’ve seen there’s more kool-aid drinking going on with BO’s campaign than what exists in a more typical campaign where the office seeker doesn’t have a messiah complex.

    Real employees may or may not agree with the mission of the organization that employs them. Some don’t care if the organization is successful and do as little as possible to help it succeed; some actually try sabotage (and try not to get caught). Laws that have been passed in the last 30 years have made it much more difficult to fire real employees. It can take months or longer to get rid of a bad employee. If Obama wants to get rid of one of his minions, he just says the word and that person is gone … today. No fuss, no muss.

    Obama’s campaign has one, and only one, goal. To get him elected. Every dime of his “budget” is used for that purpose. No evaluation of competing goals — should this money be spent on education or should we use it to hire more police officers or do repairs to existing infrastructure — is required because there are no other goals.

    How tough a decision is it to decide between spending a million dollars on advertising in a swing-state such as Ohio vs. spending that million on a “get out the vote” effort in Newark, NJ? Not very. And to top it off, once the decision is made, who gets to question it? Does BO run the risk of being voted out or fired from his position as Presidential Candidate because of making poor decisions? No.

    Making decisions involving competing agendas, all of which have value on some level, and which will always leave some group unhappy with the decision, and running the risk of losing the position due to poor decision-making is what any executive position is all about.

    For Obama to claim he has experience running a large system using his campaign as an example is a complete farce and demonstrates that he has no idea what is required to perform in any executive position. let alone the largest and most difficult executive position in the world.

    Oh, BTW, Sarah Palin, as a former mayor and current governor, has dealt with both real employees and competing budget agendas on a daily basis. If Obama is qualified to become POTUS on the basis of his “experience”, then I need to know what the job is that is higher on the org chart than POTUS, so Mrs. Palin can get that job.

    The secret ballot is what our entire society is based upon.

    Obama’s argument is extremely weak. He is basically saying that the job application and interview process is the only qualification for the job. John McCain is also running a campaign. So we then would have to look at other qualifications. If I were hiring for a fastfood restaurant or other entry-level job, I would agree with him as I would be hiring many and the competence demonstrated by the hiring process would shine sufficient light on the prospects abilities.

    With POTUS we can only hire one and it is an exremely important job. How he handles his job impacts whether or not I even have a job. I want to know what qualifies the candidate for the position above the next candidate.

    he had to get rid of Hillary Clinton. Little more of a problem but still doable.

    The fact that Obama points to running a campaign as evidence of “experience” is laughable, but, unfortunately, it’s not funny.

    He wants to be CIC, but has absolutely no clue how the military works, or, evidently, diplomacy. This is not time for “OJT”.

    Obama’s lack of depth (and that of his advisors) on the key issues of the day is frightening. One cannot steer the ship of state by putting a finger to the wind; one must govern with clarity of conviction and the ability to see the world as it IS, not as one wishes.

    so far Obama has done nothing but the walk…. sorry, desire does not a President make.

    They fear the big zero’s acccomplishments, hardly the man for the job of Commander in Chief.

    There is a really good article on Wizbang about how HRC didn’t scare Obama. It took Sarah Palin with a baby on her hip to truly frighten him. There are also some good comments by Epador about the Alaska National Guard and Stan25 about the war in this country between the East and West Coasts and the rest of the country, that are worth reading.

    John McCain is also running a campaign. So we then would have to look at other qualifications.

    Other qualifications:

    In 1976 he became commanding officer of a training squadron stationed in Florida. He improved the unit’s flight readiness and safety records, and won the squadron its first-ever Meritorious Unit Commendation.

    If anyone thinks commanding a military unit, especially a flight training unit, where you have the very lives of the instructors, trainees and support personnel in the palm of your hand isn’t executive experience, please contact me. We’ll talk. (Actually I’ll talk. Loudly)

    That’s a pretty simple job description lgm (#156). A lot of people have those qualifications, but as stated, they’re pretty generic.

    I would say that McCain, Biden, Palin, Barr all have those qualifications. Not to mention thousands of people in the business world. Isn’t this the same job description as a music director for a symphony orchestra or an opera company? Or hundreds of other leadership positions?

    Obama’s positions on major issues are actually a huge part of his problem. McCain’s positions aren’t much better, but at least he won’t have a Democratic congress to rubber stamp his every whim. (I miss the days of a slimy moderate president and an earnest Republican congress. Life was good.)

    What I would like in a President, and what I’ll probably never see in my lifetime, is one that actually follows through on faithfully executing the office of President of the United States, and to the best of his or her ability, preserves, protects and defends the Constitution of the United States.

    They all tend to forget that promise the day after the inauguration.

    Wouldn’t it be great if the President just enforced the laws instead of making stupid campaign promises like “cutting taxes for 95% of Americans” which includes giving money to those Americans who pay no income tax, or promises to invest in energy or improve education. Just stupid crap that all candidates spout.

    Enforce the laws, especially the stupidest ones so that the people might rise up and demand their repeal; force congress to make the laws and quit dumping the responsibility on the executive branch; and just leave us alone.

    Even a former community organizer should know that government isn’t very efficient or effective at helping anyone.

    lgm,
    I agree with you, Obama has positions on major issues, and they’re all frightening.

    (1) Be this century’s Neville Chamberlin, and work at appeasement with our enemies. That worked so well before, didn’t it? I can’t wait to live under the veil of Islam and I mean literally “under a veil”.

    (2) Gut our military and strip away funding for ballistic missile defense, any further development of nuclear weapons, slow the future development of combat systems, and add another layer of bureaucracy above the QDR panel. (just what the military needs, MORE, bureaucracy).

    (3) He wants to take a leaf from the totalarian notebook and establish a jazzed up version of “Young Pioneers”. Sorry, not signing my kinder up for that re-education goatrope.

    (4) His demonstrated lack capacity to understand the first and second amendment is indeed frightening.

    I am beyond disgusted at the Obama team’s co-opting of a cherished non-partisan symbol of unity, The Blue Star.
    I have posted my disagreement with the decision to use the term “Blue Star Families” for political purposes, and my dissent has been erased from every blog. Team Obama also states that there have been “no” complaints. I have first-hand knowledge that this is untrue — there have been numerous complaints and an official complaint filed with the DoD IG. This is small potatotes compared to the other active suppression of dissent. Think about how graver the intolerance will be if he is elected.

    Complete lack of clarity on the 2nd amendment? Nuff said. Here’s a heads-up Obama: criminals don’t go to gun stores or participate in background checks. “Regulation” will not stop the underground arms market nor keep them out of the hands of “gangbangers”.

    (4) Taxation. Clearly, Obama is no student of history. Other democracies which have toyed with usurious rates of taxation and nationalization have failed and have been forced to retract their policies to re-prime their economies. Think England under Margaret Thatcher and Canada after Trudeau.

    (5) The unborn. I am pro-choice, but there are limits. If you are Obama, there are NO limits. My mother is an RN and had to assist in a third term, partial birth abortion. She was so traumatized she had to transfer off the floor so she would never had to participate in such an act of barbarianism again. If my choice is between someone who advocates infanticide and someone who is against abortion, I’ll come down on the side of life every time.

    So, you are right. Obama does have positions and they all stink.

    No sale.

    Obama has it hands down in both categories: He has positions on major issues … His campaign is far better organizationally than McCains.

    1. Wise, thoughtful, well informed decisions… Like that disastrous agonizing 3 day flip-flop fest on Georgia that nearly handed over all of Georgia to Russia through the UN Security Council and in the end ended up echoing the exact same decision John McCain made in less than 10 minutes? (and with a lot less dribbling and moaning I might add) Sorry – I need my decisions made the same month they’re needed. Obama: FAIL

    2. The ability to run a large organization. Obama’s never run a large organization. On the other hand McCain has successfully run a huge flight training squadron – one of the most difficult assignments a commander can draw. Obama: FAIL

    He has positions on major issues And they all suck, and some are down right anti-American. Besides – so what? Positions are just guesses written down. Positions are not decisions and when it comes to decisions Obama hasn’t shown that he’s sprouted a pair yet. Obama: meh

    The ability to run a large organization. Obama has never shown an ability to run a large organization because he never has run a large organization. His campaign is run by David Plouffe who is doing an outstanding job covering his candidates weaknesses and hushing up his BS eruptions. Obama: EPIC FAIL

    After all, he was not only a “Community Organizer”, he is also running for President and that unto itself is just the biggest giver of experience available to man.

    After all, he does have to pick the Campaign Manager who will tell him where to go, what time to be ther, when to wake up, when to eat, what to say, when to say it…that is no easy task.

    And you will need to start cutting him some slack because all that is veeery tiring and lends itself to havingihim make mistakes concerning the 57 states he has visited yet still has not ever even been to Alaska, as well as not remembering what he said 5 minutes ago or what point he is trying to make once he no longer has a script in front of him.

    He also seems to be the very first politician in decades to write every single one of his own speeches without the help of anyone else ever.

    He is far more experienced than McCain and Palin put together. If you really want to pit their experience against his 4-5 months as a U.S. Senator before launching his exploratory committee…well then the Conservative Movement is lost irretrievably.

    Next i suppose you are going to try and tell us that Conservatives have always been for women and minorities succeeding in life and business and that encouraging a young woman who becomes pregnant to keep the child and to marry the father is nothing more than pandering and all just a ploy.

    “Barack Obama is running on the Democrat platform, which would allow all abortions on demand, no matter the age of the unborn child, or its mother – and will include allowing any child who survives outside the womb, after an unsuccessful partial birth abortion attempt, being left to die, ”
