Don’t get me started on Obama. I live outside of Chicago and know exactly how he got to where he is. He is a smart man and an eloquent speaker, but is not qualified to be the President. He happens to be the luckiest bastard on Earth to even be elected to the State Senate and is a product of the Chicago Democratic machine. I encourage you to read up on the circumstances of his election and what he has done for his consituents (like his ringing endorsement for Todd Stroger for example). Actions speak louder than words and Obama toes the party line and does not waiver even when the stench is evident to everyone else.

Community service is not a negative experience and it is commendable. However, it does not qualify you to be President. I “organized” a bunch of kids at an AYSO soccer game last weekend and don’t feel and don’t plan to throw my hat in the ring anytime soon.

I’m sure he actually was a community organizer. Just like I actually did make my MySpace account private.

Now, about that network security job…are you hiring?

And I’m not saying community service is a negative thing. In fact I admire the guy for doing something in a community instead of asking government to do it. I’m just saying that it’s not a great resume builder for the Presidency.

I don’t understand why community service is being characterized as a negative experience? It’s tough,low paying, heart wrenching work. The insights I gained from my time was invaluable for my future. Many of the community organizations that serve the homeless, poor, elderly, shut-ins, and disabled are there because the government can’t or won’t do it.

I’ve mentioned the “none of the above” movement on this blog previously. The basic idea is that “nota” gets put on the ballot, and if “nota” wins another election is held with none of the previous candidates on the ballot. That would go a long way in keeping parties from sinking $$$ into bad and ineffective candidates.

Oh, and the Thumb raslin’s on! heh!
