Why?!!! I'm baffled.
Surely this lawyer can see the clear evidence that Obama has no real platform. He hasn't spelled anything out... Surely this lawyer can see the mounting evidence that Obama is not "Pro-America." One would think if the average person can see that, a lawyer would be smart enough to notice.
He wouldn't hire a man with no experience to run his company or even a trial...but he'd vote for this candidate with no experience simply because said candidate can deliver a speech (which he didn't even write) with flair. That's called an ACTOR, not a Presidential candidate!
I think that Obama-Jama is doing as well as he is simply because nobody likes Mrs. Clinton.
But then, the Democrats have this really stupid proportional thing with delegates.
If their system was like the GOP system, winner takes all, Mrs. Clinton would probably be the nominee by now, and Obama-Jama would be back in his neighborhood, licking his wounds and wondering what went wrong.
As for your father-in-law, you have my deepest sympathy.
Mine, for a spell, was making similar noises, until he asked me what I thought of Obama-Jama. My answer: “He’s a bloody socialist!” That took care of the problem.
No disrespect for all in that profession but if one looks at their historical track record from Robespierre and Lenin to William Kunstler and the multitude of ambulance-chasing, shyster trial lawyers to Clinton and Obama, one quickly and clearly realizes that passing a bar exam and intelligent leadership in a society can be two different things.
