"I don’t think you are correct. How did he {Lincoln}become a lawyer?

He passed the bar exam. You can STILL become a lawyer in some states by simply passing the exam (but you better study a lot).

It takes real courage to be a leader who loves your country and will stand by your actions and beliefs despite the slings and arrows, to do what you think is best for your country. NOT a job for just anyone.

For sure. Look what happened to Czar Nicholas II, Adolf Hitler, Nicolai/Elena Ceauchescu, etc.

“If BHO were to be elected, there won’t even BE a USA as we know it, in 10 years. Or 8. Or 4. Or .......”

That’s a fact.

An Obambi presidency proves at least one thing: Anyone can become president of the United States, even a complete nitwit.

George Washington most certainly did not attend college. Andrew Jackson did not attend college. I am sure there are others in addition to Washington, Jackson, and Lincoln but those are the first three that come to mind.

The author makes some good points about Woodrow Wilson’s failures, but he needs to be a lot more careful about his facts.

“Obama’s stint as a community organizer managed mostly to make a number of Chicago developers wealthy without improving the lives of those he was supposedly trying to help.”

A great summary of Obama’s only “real” experience - his failure at “community organizing.”

Most Americans are much more qualified to be president than Obama.

The author of this piece presumes for his discussion that a person with a college background in an "intellectual," where as one who never attended college is not.

In fact, there are many exceptions to that rule that cut both ways. It's hard to think much of the intellect of a man who says he's "campaigned in 57 states" and who thinks he could be "president for 8 to 10 years." His lack of knowledge of basic facts about American history and government is scary.

He's an intellectual in the same sense that Jimmy Carter is a charismatic figure. The CliffsNotes version of Karl Marx in Spanish, of course.

“obama the intellectual...”

correction: “obama the self-appointed intellectual.”

(he takes lessons from his psychotic handlers.)

IMHO

“I personally take some comfort that John McCain finished far down in the bottom half of his class at Annapolis.”

LOL. That’s euphemistic.

“Far down in the bottom half” was something like 5th from last or so.

“I also remember how we were continually told how smart Al Gore and John Kerry were and that their problem was that they had a hard time communicating their highly intellectual thoughts to us commoners. What a bunch of BS. These people are ignorant fools.”

Ditto for the “brilliant” Clintons. Ignorant white-trash hillbilly meets ignorant white-suburban turned leftist radical female, then attempt to tell us all what to do for 8 long, long years. Barack Obama is the same cut of cloth. A charlatan, a charade, a preening narcissist who is too smart by half, at least in his eyes, for Americans.
