Folks to understand just how hilarious this is .

They need to understand that most of these right wing prognositicators like you have been Dubya supporters for 8 years or more now.

Hell, Bush can't even find countries on a map, can't use the English language in a normal much less understandable way, can't write five sensible sentences on his own ----much less a paragraph for Gods' sake!

He obviously has no higher level thinking capacity or powers of deduction than any President----EVER! He's never achieved a thing in his life that his daddy and his daddy's friends didn't hand him, and he's even is proud that he "doesn't read newspapers or magazines."


However, I understand he does play videogames once in a while , and he IS an EXPERT at invading the wrong country.


That is why it is such a howler to hear all these cries of protests from these same Bush supporters towards Barrack Obama, a man who has authored two best sellers, taught constitutional law at one of the best Law Schools in America, Was president of the Harvard Law Review (not even Bill Clinton can claim that), was for years an outstanding State Senator in Illinois ( even the Republicans said he was great), was a civli rights lawyers, etc etc.


He has more intellectual capacity in his little fingernail clipping than Gee-W Bush has in his entire body.


HE has many times (or MORE) qualifications than Bush had before GEE-W ran for President!.........

But of course to the GOP, consistency and "qualifications" don't mean a thing when it comes to THEIR candidate(s)....... and it is downright "un-american" if the other side of the aisle dares question their 'Resume".

You force me to bring up Dubya as a contrast:


Georger W. Bush ...........

Former cocaine snorter (admitted it), drunk/alcohol abuser, and party boy. Avoided the draft by using his daddys' political "connections" to get him into the Texas Air National Guard which virtually assured* he wouldn't be sent to Vietnam. *(See 'ChickenHawk' for further explanation)

Got a degree in business from Harvard (can you say "legacy"? I KNEW you could...) then promptly went out and drove every single business he ever owned or managed* into the ground. *(See "miserable failure" for further explanation).

And yet, in every business, when it crashed, his rich family and friends were there to bail him out so that he didn't have to suffer the ravages of his own incompetence.


A couple of failed political campaigns, then finally a victory when Karl Rove*........ *(See "MudSlinger"..."Traitor" ...ect, etc) came aboard to start slaying (and slurring) his enemies. Interesting political postion, too. Governor of Texas, which looks good on the resume. Of course, legislative power in Texas is vested in the office of the Lt. Governor, but Dubya has always done better as a hood ornament.


Good Golly Miss Molly!........; Obama by contrast, graduated from Columbia without using anyone's coat-tails, and then graduated 'magna cum laude' from Harvard Law School. He worked for a number of years on issues for the poor and less fortunate, taking on discrimination cases, as well as voter registration cases.


Now, you say that he is not qualified to be president?

Let's take a look!...........


Dubya:
2.6 GPA ---Yale student.
History major. 2.6 GPA ---Harvard business student.

Runs every business he touches into the griound; gets bailed out by friends and family. After two tries to get into politics (during which his opponents successfully portrayed him as out of touch with common men) he gets what amounts to a figurehead position in Texas, where his greatest achievement becomes the record number of executions he signs off on.


Obama:
3.8 GPA ---Columbia Poly Sci major with a specialty in international relations.
Harvard Law, 4.0 GPA---with high honors.

6 years of trial experience working for low income people. 11 years as an instructor in Constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School. 8 years as an Illinois State Senator, and 3 years as a United States Senator.


Now I submit to you that Dubya, who was dumb enough to think this country could be run like a business (look how WELL things have turned out under HIS watch!), with NO knowledge of law or politics, was unable to destory this country (so far anyway---time will be the judge of that---- ), no matter HOW MUCH he phucked up!. Obama, with degrees in both political science and law, is far more capable of running this country than the numb-nuts currently occupying the White House.


And, if we should really be honest, any one of the three remaining substantial candidates, from either of the major parties, will do better than Dubya did.

The saddest thing in the world is that, for the first time in 40 years, you ( so-called conservatives that is) have a man running for the office of president who is nearly (notice I said -- NEARLY) everything that a republican presidential candidate should be, and yet many, many folks from the "NEW RIGHT" snipe at him because he's not conservative enough to meet your (and their) requirements.

Well, we've had four of those types from the "CONservative" side of the aisle in the last 30 years, and look at how they've messed up this country. Time to let the big people (you know---the ADULTS) take back over and make things better. You'll be thanking us for it very soon!


And here's hoping that the GOP gets back to being a party for real conservatives, instead of the paranoid, hate-mongers and neo-con ultra-rightwing Christian fundamentlists who have contrrolled it for the last 20 years.

If not...........you folks are in for a RUDE AWAKENING!
