How many houses does Obama own, since the subject of McCains houses has been brought up? How did he pay for them? His half brother lives in a shack in Kenya on 12 bucks a year- can’t he slip him a twenty and double his yearly income?
Members of the weather underground didn’t just threaten to attack people, they actually killed some policemen with a bomb. There is no excuse for that behavior, imho.
Constitutional scholarship notwithstanding, to my knowledge Obama has never argued a case in court or written a law journal paper. A law background is a good basis for someone who will be making laws- but that is not the job of the president. The president is the executive of the whole country, the person who makes the big final decisions, the person for whom “The buck stops there”. This is why someone with experience running a state such as a governer is most frequently tapped to become the candidate over a legislator. At the very least, someone with the experience of successfully running a business, since they often operate under the same principals and have had a similar level of decision making training. Former officers and senior NCO’s who have also had to make decisions that could effect the lives of many people are also good qualities to have in a future president. What has Obama run?
