    dude what college do you go to? really?

    you do know obama went to one of the top law schools in the world - on top of practicing civil rights law he taught constitutional law before becoming a senator.

    Executive experience - ya you can't compare the two.

    The Harvard Law Review, know who else has done that?

    Supreme Court Justices Edward Sanford, Felix Frankfurter, Ruth Bader Ginsburg, Antonin Scalia, Stephen Breyer and Chief Justice John G. Roberts, Jr.

    Secretary of State Dean Acheson, Charles Hamilton Houston, Alger Hiss, Archibald MacLeish,

    Secretary of Transportation and Brown v. Board of Education attorney William Coleman, Jr., Judge Richard Posner, Chief Judge Henry Friendly, Chief Judge Michael Boudin,

    U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff,

    U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Chris Cox

    8 years in the state senate, 4 in the senate in Washington.

    Sorry, that trumps a couple of years of managing a state with 700k people. Shirley Franklin manages more than that on a day to day basis

    Yea but she doesn't do a very good job of it LOL. Its kind of a moot point.

    Tony, I usually agree with you on most things, but to say that one of Obama's qualifications to "run things" is based on overseeing the Harvard Law Review, well that seems fairly useless. So he was the president of a law journal, what does that have to do with what redgt calls Executive Experience?

    He asked what he has run, I responded. People act like Obama came straight out of college and ran for president, when really.. Palins story isn't far off from that.

    To say her executive experience in Alaska qualifies her any more than Obama is plain stupid. Alaska is very different from the other states, like I said Shirley Franklin is more qualified than Palin based off of population and time served in office.

    Furthermore if executive experience is the bar then she trumps her running mate as well.. why not put her at the top of the ticket?

    we are talking in circles now b/c some people on here don't understand what being a LAWYER has to do w/ politics... RedGT and others think having years practicing and teaching CONSTITUTIONAL LAW is worthless compared to someone who has ran a state w/ the population smaller then Gwinnett County. furthermore they obviously think a city council member of a city with a population 1/5 the size of importatlanta has the credentials to run the country.

    i would love to know what major you have in college RedGT - i think i read you plan on making 500,000$ a year within 7 years of graduating college... explain?

    The Harvard Law Review with all due respect really doesn't constitute an argument as to executive experience in government.

    The Harvard Law Review is a student-run organization whose primary purpose is to publish a journal of legal scholarship

    Maybe they'll find some footage of Obama saying he's black and accuse him of using the "race card". Maybe they will find another half brother of his and make yet another dumbass ad trying to discredit him even though Mcan't doesn't even remember how many houses he has. Maybe they'll attack Obama's wife again.

    What we do know is they won't focus on actual facts and informing the voting ppl of how he plans to better this country. That'd be too much to ask.

    Right and Obama will finally go into detail about what he talks about and stop giving the same old speech.

    just as long as he is reading off a teleprompter. Take that away and he talks like a bumbling idiot. And if he is asked a tough question he dodges by saying its "above my paygrade".

    I think his advisors forgot to tell him that if he is elected there isnt anyone above his paygrade.

    x2. Idc what anyone says, Mcan't sealed his fate by his choice for VP.
    Singularly chosing a woman for your vp will not net you the female votes that he might have gotten from the disgruntled soccer moms who were thinking about not voting for Obama. Seems to me like the logic that went into his decision would be an insult to the intelligence of the average american female.
