| What has Barak Hussein Obama accomplished that qualifies him for Commander in Chief?
I'm just throwing this out there to see what people think qualifies Obama for the position of Commander in Chief. I, personally, don't think he is ready for a post of this magnitude.
Other than being a senator from Illinois, Barak Obama's only claim to fame is his role as community organizer and teaching constitutional law. He has no significant accomplishments and hasn't made any executive decisions. He hasn't served in any branch of the military, and he has never held any office in the executive branch of the government.

what qualifies george bush?
what qualifies john mccain?
why should someone make better decisions if he served in the army or already made an executive decision? why should those things make someone a better man for the job?
i think as long someone has good ideas and had contact to low class people, helping those who need help, he already got the ticket to do this job because he knows who he has to help and how. he is once again a president the whole world would like, the USA gets more respect through personal and not through military power (which failed actually). being a veteran doesnt make you a better president, making executive decisions doesnt make you a better president, it's what you want and what you can deliver, and those things obama promises have a chance to come true
mccain says the same thing bush said, and he will lead pretty much the same way, even if he says he wants to "change" the tone of the whitehose (which bush said too...) he's not going to be a better president than george bush, and that's why you should pick the other side

and prepare one more for the presidency than teaching constitutional law.  |

At least there is a distributer to get the beer to you should you chose to drink it.
I'd trust a business manager before I'd trust a Chicago Machine Democrat who hob - nobs with terrorists for buddies.

I'd love to sit-in on one of Barack's Constitutional Law classes if the opportunity arose. What's that about anyways? Interpretation and revision of the law? |

1. Obama meets the constitutional requirements.
2. He's won his party's nomination.
3. He still needs to garner 270 electoral votes.
Last I checked, that qualifies him to become president.
Was that the question? |
