It seems to be becoming more evident that Obama may end up being a classic case of the Peter Principle.

"In a Hierarchy a person tends to be promoted to His Level of Incompetence."

Let's just hope he stays an amateur!

Obama scares me much more than this ass clown ever did. Carter was a miserable excuse for a President, and a disasterous fraud of an American citizen. I still worry much more about Obama and his potential to do heavy damage to our Constitutional republic.

“The last amateur President:”

And James Earl Carter at least had military experience.

Obama has “community organizing” experience.

Jimmy Carter Obama seemed to fit months ago.

Jimmy Carter Obama seems to fit today.

Lord help should Jimmy Carter Obama become President for we all know how the last amateur messed things up.

Thus far, Obama is pushing his Windfall Profits Tax on royalty owners, small independent drilling companies.

Just like Jimmy Carter.

Obama: McCain ‘doesn’t know what he’s up against’

Aug 19 09:00 PM US/Eastern
By BETH FOUHY
Associated Press Writer

RALEIGH, N.C. (AP) - A combative Barack Obama said Tuesday that Republican John McCain “doesn’t know what he’s up against” in this election and challenged his rival to stop questioning his character and patriotism.

Obama, campaigning in a state where he hopes to become the first Democratic presidential candidate to win in more than three decades, implored his supporters to fight for the presidency.

“Our job in this election is not just ‘win,’ although I’m a big believer in winning,” Obama said during the rally. “I don’t intend to lose this election. John McCain doesn’t know what he’s up against.”

More importantly, Carter had executive political experiece as governor of Georgia.

It didn’t help, but he had it.

Almost sounds like some sort of threat. Now if Bill or Hillary had made that statement, well....

After this last weekend, Barry sounds like his knickers are in a knot with that comment.

Pubbies should be picking that open wound daily.

I agree it sounds like a threat.

I hope John McCain has realized that his flirting with this enemy (for good press) the past 8 years has weakened him as a warrior and man, and plans accordingly.

He should give them NO quarter.

Funny, but I remember hearing some Sargent's over at the PX saying one day that they were getting tired of having to give OJT to their new LT.

He thinks he is on a basketball court talking trash, instead of a Presidential campaign.

And James Earl Carter at least had military experience. Obama has “community organizing” experience.

Carter's problem was not inexperience; his executive experience included two terms as governor of a large state. Carter was ineffective because he was a micro-manager who could not lead, delegate and supervise. Plus, he was an idealistic liberal.

Obama's ideology is even worse than Carter's. And Obama has zero executive experience -- at any level. What a pretender!
