Sorry to bother you Mr. Obama, Sir
Excuse me Mr. Obama, I mean Senator Obama, sir. Um . . know you are busy and important and stuff. I mean running for president is very important and . . .. ah . . . I hate to bother you. I will only take a minute ok, sir?
See, I have these missing pieces that are holding me up, and I was wondering sir, if you could take time out of your busy schedule and help me out. You know, no big deal, just some loose ends and things.
I can’t seem to get some information I need to wrap this up. These things seem to either be “locked” or “not available’. I’m sure it’s just some oversight or glitch or something, so if you could you tell me where these things are . . . I . . I . . . have them written down here somewhere .. . . oh wait. Sorry about the smears. It was raining out. I’ll just read it to you.
Could you help me please find these things, sir?
1. Occidental College records — Not released
2. Columbia College records — Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper — not available, locked down by faculty
4. Harvard College records — Not released, locked down by faculty
5. Selective Service Registration — Not released
6. Medical records — Not released
7. Illinois State Senate schedule — “not available”
8. Law practice client list — Not released
9. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate – - Not released
10. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth — Not released
11. Harvard Law Review articles published — None
12. University of Chicago scholarly articles — None
13. Your Record of baptism– Not released or “not available”
14. Your Illinois State Senate records–”not available”
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!

3 wilson828 // Oct 31, 2008 at 10:10 pm
maybe our benchmark is Sara Palin because we know she is gov of Alaska! (even tho Alaska has a population of 650K and Mke is about 600k let’s not let facts get in the way of good debate)

Wilson
The population of Delaware is 783,000 and Joe Biden is one of two Senators from that state. You do the math.
George Bush, governor of Texas for 6 years.
Barack Obama, see above. Your point is?

7 wilson828 // Nov 1, 2008 at 12:18 pm

8 Randy in Richmond // Nov 1, 2008 at 12:28 pm
It was? I didn’t see Sarah Palin mentioned once in the post, other than your post. Are you debating yourself?

Wilson828 – you win. It took me a couple of minutes to figure out the shorthand.
Come on. You’re intelligent enough to make your point without resorting to acronyms from high school.

“AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him.”
AND, consider us racists for bringing it up.
Ah, the American electorate.
