 I think in this day and age, we all agree anyone who's going to be President probably graduated from college, and a good one at that. And a vast many politicians were lawyers and did good work in their community. The fact the Obama camp want to hang their hat on this as his grand qualifications to bring about change and lead the free world only highlights how much of a sitting duck he's going to be when the competition isn't "friendly."

I'm not sure which presidents you are talking about, but is it possible that we live in a more complicated world and operate with a more complicated government system in and of itself than when those guys were president?

 Hate to break it to you, but some of our best presidents have had less experience in government than Barack Obama has had.

When the Skins win the Super Bowl next year under Jimmy Zorn, how are you experience whores going to explain that?

  Conor Oberst (and Jeff Tweedy and Win Butler) supports Obama. This is a boy-man who truly has his his finger on the pulse of what's good for America. How could you not believe what Conor Oberst believes? Case closed.

Don't forget Obama's got the Grateful Dead on his side as well:

The Obama contingency refuse to list his political accomplishments and decided to argue Bill Clinton wasn't experienced. However, as you've noticed, I've schooled them on that point as well, but good work in reminding the viewers how obstructionist they're being and how badly they want to discuss any issue except the ease at which their chosen candidate will get butchered in a general election.
 
 Have we talked yet about how, despite his supposed magnetism and charisma, when put one-on-one in a debate, Barack has faltered terribly? That's a quality I want in a general election candidate.

Because Julian has a total man-crush on Bill.

Shit, the Skins got a better chance of winning the Super Bowl under Ron Paul then Jim Zorn.
 
 Smells like 5 and 11.

Complicated is relative, wouldn't you say?
 
 One example, top of my head - Dwight Eisenhower.

If you'll look back, it would be more accurate to say, "Because Charlie Nakatestes can't debate Obama on his merits so he tried to change the issue."

You keep bringing up the fact that the general is going to be more difficult.  But if Clinton can't sink Obama, what makes you think she can sink McCain?
 
 And you claim that he's faltered terribly in the debates?  What debates are you watching?

[Charlie Nakatestes, Japanese Golfer]

Why is is that the most highly educated Democratic voters are in Obama's camp, and not Hillary's?
