The government has never improved anyone's lives. The government makes us miserable.
What I do know is that such breathtakingly meteoric political rises to the doorstep of national executive leadership simply do not happen -- at least not historically in Western democratic forms of government. Heck, they rarely even happen in totalitarian governments, either. However, they do happen in coups and other forms of shortcuts to political power.
John F. Kennedy's career is the closest historical U.S. parallel to Obama's rocketship ride to the top, yet the rate of JFK's quick rise pales in comparison. JFK at least served with distinction the in Navy during WWII, and he was in the Congress for 14 years before being elected president: a U.S. congressman for six years, then a senator for eight.
Besides, we know who was behind Kennedy's rise -- his old bootlegger father, Joe, former ambassador to Great Britain. Obama doesn't have a Pappa Joe to buy the presidency for him, which begs the question: who fills the Pappa Joe role in Obama's life?
Classmate: "So Barack, what are you doing now?"

Classmate: "Really? That sounds interesting. What is it that you do as a community organizer?"
Obeymao: "Uhhh, to be honest, uhm, I really don't know..."
Barack Obama = John Kerry with a tan.
Their similar, droning speaking styles make me laugh.
This guy is such an Empty Suit. It is truly scary how this, do nothing, accomplished nothing, loser goes all around this country touting the supposed solution to every problem and 50% of the voters faint. It just utterly boggles the mind.
Let's suppose Obama applied for a job with the Tranportation Safety Administration (TSA). He has admitted to using cocaine. He has a known association with a violent terrorist, Bill Ayers. He was a member of a racist, America hating church for 20 years. He would be flatly rejected for a job screening bags at an airport. Is he really qualified to be President and Commander in Chief?
TOWNHALL.com: "OBAMA'S BOOKS SAY HE ATTENDED 'MUSLIM SCHOOL'" -Posted by Matt Lewis (SNIPPET: "Note: It really doesn't matter whether or not Obama attended a Muslim school. What does matter is whether or not he is telling the truth. And I think it is also important to note that this rumor was not started by conservative skullduggery, but by Obama's own writings ...")
