I totally agree with you. She is sorely lacking on the executive front and that really hurts her. People are critical of Herman Cain’s lack of political experience, but in my mind his executive experience outweighs a few terms in the House of Representatives. He rescued both Burger King (for Pillsbury) and Godfather’s. That takes talent.
One thing I can say about Bachmann is this: I am a tax attorney, so I am inclined to give Bachmann credit there that others likley don’t simply because I know how hard it is to earn an LL.M. (Master of laws above and beyond her Juris Doctor) in taxation. That alone is proof of her discipline and drive. I know that in order to even be accepted into an LL.M. program, she had to excel in law school. Unlike Obama, whose grades have never been revealed, she really is qualified to be a law professor.
I’m an attorney as well. I seriously question who Obama made it through law school. I was on law review and was required to publish articles and edit, etc.
Obama comes across to me as barely 1L level.
