This is true - least qualified of all candidates to be the President

Posted By: me on 2008-09-24
In Reply to: Obama should not be in the running for the highest - office. Americans are blind -scary.nm

Sorry but sitting in on the senate and voting "present" more times than not, and being a community organizer does not make one qualified to be President. I think its like I heard the other day. When it comes time to vote and we have a war going on, an economy that's crumbling, jobs going overseas, no matter what people say now they are not going to go with someone who is new and inexperienced. They will go with someone who has been in politics, is a war hero, stands up for his fellow americans, and is obviously not for either side. Plus having Gov. Palin is the biggest plus for the ticket. A new face to Washington, hard on the big boys, won't back down, has the intelligence and know how to get our economy back on track, fights for the rights of citizens, and has the experience of balancing a budget, the smarts to know we need to drill here (and not just smooth talk like the dems are giving us). She and Sen. McCain will help bring this country to be energy independent and not let big CEOs walk away with millions while people like us have to pay. I for one among many are very excited to see what good things President McCain and Vice President Palin will be doing for our country.

If your still upset when McCain & Palin win, don't worry though, if you submit your names that you voted for the democrats I'm sure they will let you all pay more in taxes than the rest of us. After all you seem to think Biden was okay in trying to convince you that its your patriotic duty to pay more in taxes when the CEOs and other execs will walk away with money in their pockets (to include Obama, Clinton & Dodd).

Does this sound like McCain is qualified to be president?
Well, we've heard the interview now. And John McCain either doesn't know who the Prime Minister of Spain is, thinks Spain is a country in Latin America, or possibly both.

In case, you haven't seen our updates from last night, yesterday John McCain was interviewed on the Florida affiliate of Spanish radio network Union Radio. And in the interview McCain appeared not to know who the Prime Minister of Spain was and assumed he was some anti-American leftist leader from South America.

After the interviewer presses him a couple times on the point and tries to focus him on the fact that Prime Minister Zapatero isn't from Mexico and isn't a drug lord either McCain comes back at her saying, "All I can tell you is that I have a clear record of working with leaders in the Hemisphere that are friends with us and standing up to those who are not. And that's judged on the basis of the importance of our relationship with Latin America and the entire region."

Then there's a moment of awkward pause before she says. "But what about Europe? I'm talking about the President of Spain."

McCain: "What about me, what?

Interviewer: "Are you willing to meet with him if you're elected president?"

McCain: "I am wiling to meet with any leader who is dedicated to the same principles and philosophy that we are for humans rights, democracy and freedom. And I will stand up to those who do not."

At this point, the interviewer gets tongue-tied presumably because she can't get over McCain not knowing what Spain is.
How is she more qualified? nm
nm
There are too many other qualified people
No on Hillary. She should be allowed no where near the white house. There are way so many other people out there that are qualified. She is not. And if your husband is impeached he too should not be allowed anywhere near the white house. All Barack needs is to be constantly looking over his shoulder trying to figure out what those two are up to.
Obama not qualified??

SInce you state he is NOT qualified....AND YOU ARE??


Oh, and Obama is more qualified? Please
nm
PALIN is more qualified? Of course she is, but
nm
Biden is even less qualified.......sm
the only thing he can say without screwing it up is "HI! I'm Joe Biden!!!"


I know - how silly that we should know whether he is qualified.
x
She is more than qualified, so what is the problem?
At least Nancy Pelosi spends her time constructively rather than just spewing hatred and anger like some people.
If customary deference to a sitting president by president elect
for the rest of us who understand such concepts as respect and traditional protocol, it would qualify as a darned good reason.
Qualified to lead the country? How?
nm
Personally don't think she is qualified but, more importantly.....
as a mother, my biggest concern would be for her children. Most former presidents children were closer to adulthood and didn't really have much of a life because of their father's political position.

I can't even imagine what life would be like for these young children. Learning at such a young age to be paranoid about everything and everyone around you because your parent may be a target for some sinister plot, which then makes the children a target.

Next issue, motherhood. Again, she has young children. Who is going to be their mother while she is consumed with political dealings? They need their mother.

If she has aspirations for a larger role in the United States government, fine but she should finish the job she started first and raise her children.

And... I personally think that the rumors about the baby are terrible. The girl is 16. So what if it was HER baby and not her mother's.

If it IS true, her parents were probably only trying to protect their daughter.
yeah, and Biden had said O was not qualified to be
nm
yeah, and Obama isn't qualified to be in the top
nm
Palin is just as qualified as Obama anyway.
nm
Palis is more qualified than OBAMA even is!
nm
okay, she was wrong....he has no "experience" although qualified.

I suppose you think Obama IS qualified?
nm
If they weren't qualified - how did they get the loans?
Get real. When I bought my house it took MONTHS to prove my income, the down payment had to sit in my banking account for months, the bank found an old unpaid hospital bill (I was unaware of) that was 10 years old that I had to prove I had insurance at the time and either the hospital screwed up or the insurance company never paid - I almost did not get the loan because of this! So, how do all of these unqualified people, irresponsible people, get home loans when they are so woefully unqualified? Because the lenders didn't give a rats whether or not the person could pay it back. They were boxing these loans together and selling them as securities. Did YOU ever buy a house? Did YOU have to jump through hoops? I sure did and I still have the house. So smoke that!
Maybe CNN and MSLSD aren't qualified to...(sm)
be teabaggers.  They probably are lacking in experience...like Michael Steele.  Is that why he isn't allowed to speak at the teabagger party?  Has he not teabagged enough to become a proficient head teabagger?
Being a POW doesn't make you qualified to run a country
Especially when you don't know the economy, have no ideas (or even care to) help the Americans through the hard times, and especially when you plan to stay at war for the next 100 years. I could go on and on but it would be too long.
39% of people polled feel SP is as qualified as O
nm
Actually, I do have "at least" minimal intelligence, and I think she's just as qualified as
It's not like she was plucked out of the PTA without doing anything else. I can't see that Obama has done anything more than she has besides vote present and campaign.
I found it pathetic. Tina Fey is more qualified (sm)
than Palin. Can you imagine if McCain wins and then croaks. The chilling thought of her under-educated butt seated in the President's Chair scares the heck out of me! And if it happens, I'm either crossing the Atlantic or the Pacific to find a new homestead.
We do not need a woman in the white house we need a qualified person
Okay, I know I'm going to get some feathers ruffled from my statement but I do not believe the US needs a woman president. I read this post and to me it sounds like your saying just get a women in there and everything will be fixed and will be all better". This is not some mommy kissing a "boo-boo" and making it better (that's what the post sounded like). We are a country and we have some serious problems. A strong "woman" is not going to straighten this mess out. A strong PERSON is going to. Sure there are lots of qualified women to run the country (Hillary is NOT one of them), but I do not believe by hiring a woman the country is going to be fixed and on the right road. We need a strong person. If they happened to be woman or man, black, white, blue or green it doesn't matter. Just get someone strong and whose got a back bone. Who will stand up for the American people and not their own interests. I really dislike and get offended when people say a "woman" will fix all the problems or "we need a women to get us out of the mess that men got us in". Men didn't get us into the problems we're in "human beings" did - and there are a lot of women sitting in seats they are not qualified to be sitting in and are part of the problem as to why America is in such a mess. Using the statement that a woman will fix everything is quite childish and very demoralizing, patronizing, and insulting to me as a woman. I do believe there are a few women out there who could probaby do an okay job, but I just want a strong person in there who has some back bone and a conscious and will do the right thing and follow the constitution. Hillary definitely did not and would not. She and Bill were so trying to change history and they ignored everything written in the constitution. Give me someone that truly cares about America. Unfortunately I haven't seen a candidate like that since Kennedy. Okay, that's my gripe for the night.
candidates
I think they will both be true in the future to who they are now (as well as they can be with having to work with Congress to get things done), but "what you see" depends on where you're looking and who's doing the talking.
Candidates

Why not let felons vote?  No different than providing amnesty to millions of illegals to get their vote, which is going to happen whether we like it or not.


Obama certainly talks the talk. I have a couple of problems with him.  One his pastor.  He might also consider running as an AMERICAN, not an African-American.  It matters not that he happens to be a black AMERICAN. Let's be done with racism on BOTH sides.  Sometimes I think the only way we, who happen to be Caucasian,  can ever satisfy the African-American community is to become slaves for a few hundred years.  Let it go already.  There is not one person alive today who ever was a slave or ever owned a slave.  Let's move on.


McCain.........while I honor his service to this country, if I hear about his POW years one more time I think I'll vomit.  I saw him on a talk show where he was asked about how many houses he owns and he immediately launched into his "years as a POW where he didn't even have a table much less a house". 


God save this country, neither candidate is going to help Him.


Yes...too bad the candidates don't
talk to real Americans, not the CEOs, the Hollywood elite (why anyone take any political advice from a so-called movie star is beyond me) when cameras aren't around. Most candidates perceive us as being sheeple, say some pretty things and we will follow, no matter how high the cliff is you're brining us over. I don't care how many houses you own, what faith your father was, if you had an affair or if you wear a flag pin. Get to some frickin' issues when you debate each other, don't give us the run around and jab each other. Neither one of you are stellar candidates. You both have faults, you both have good points, but for cripe's sake, talk about something that matters to us!

instead of obama or mccain, any other candidates you may vote for?

Hatred is only shown by repubs on this board. PALIN IS NOT QUALIFIED and it has nothing to do with
nm
I hope each one of these candidates
wins!  They've been there, done that, and in my opinion, should have the strongest voices.  I just hope it isn't too late for this country by next election day!
then again, they ALL scare me - all the candidates
       
Presidential candidates

I think MTs should run the country!!!


Candidates cars
This was fun to read

http://www.newsweek.com/id/160091
Do either of the candidates have a plan
for this financial crisis that does not involve the taxpayers bailing out the US? 
Independent candidates have to
have at least 15% in opinion polls in order to participate in the presidential debates.  Right now....the only candidates eligible to participate in the debate are, of course, McCain and Obama.  To me....that says that no independent has enough backing to do any good except for take votes from the other two.  There is nothing wrong with voting for an independent though.  If you feel Ron Paul is a better candidate, you have the right to vote for him.  However, some say it would be throwing your vote away since the likelihood of him actually win is slim.  You never know though.  Do what you feel is best and go with your gut.  If you truly believe in Ron Paul, vote for him.  No one can knock you for that.
If one of the candidates was not Obama I would be...
tempted. However, in my view, it is way too important for the future of this country to doa protest vote. same reason I am voting a straight republican ticket. The thought of Obama as president and a majority in congress...makes it way too important for a protest vote this cycle...at least for me.
Here are some other parties and their candidates.

The Libertarian Party has nominated former Congressman Bob Barr, the Constitution Party has nominated pastor and radio talk show host Chuck Baldwin, and the Green Party has nominated former Congresswoman Cynthia McKinney. Ralph Nader declined to seek the Green Party nomination and is running as an independent candidate.  That is in addition to the Ron Paul fans as well as McCain and Obama.


What did we get out of the debate last night?  That same ole crap Obama and McCain have been throwing around since the get go.  Imagine what that would be like with all these other people thrown in the debate as well. 


They only cover 2 candidates because
we don't demand that they do otherwise.  Power to the people!!!!
I wish there was a rule that the candidates HAVE TO
avoid them and go off in a direction of their own choosing. Especially when it's something they already said before. This second debate had me yawning.
here are a few if my candidates lose -
1. Get up Wed. AM, after election, turn on TV. See my faves didn't win. My reaction: 'Oh, cr@p!'

2. my actions: Eat cereal and drink coffee.

3. Where to go from thERE?
BACK TO BED!

4. What will I flee? My low-paying MT job, which most likely will never get any better.
Now I know how the candidates feel!
Say one thing and everyone wants to dissect your every move! LOL

sbMT for President! who wants to be my running mate???

HAHA J/K
Anyone interested in the candidates houses? SM

On the www.apartmentherapy website, they feature the candidates homes.  I love that site.  Anway...spoiler alert, if anyone cares.

OK, not of vital interest, I just love looking at homes.


Scary that you would support either of those candidates.

and now they've found out all 3 candidates'
Reminds me a lot of LA hospital employees getting fired for snooping in Britney Spears' medical records. I don't know what exactly there is to snoop in passport records, but it's still a privacy breach.
Differences in Wives of the candidates...

So I have only seen Michelle and Cindy speak few times.


However I have noticed something that sticks out to me tremendously, and this was the attitude of the two.


Last night Cindy was calm, sweet, and caring.


Michele seems hard, negative, and loud.


Obviously I am a Republican, but I pride myself on trying to be objective.  Do we see these things differently or is this agreed upon?  Cindy definitely seems like a weak little doe, and Michele a tough ox. 


I'm not saying either is worse, just something I observed.


Polls promising for both candidates

I have a great idea! I think the candidates should be...sm
hooked up to lie detectors during the debates.  Wouldn't that be interesting?
Of course she does.....all the candidates use planes for some things...
my point was, that they SOMETIMES use buses instead of flying everywhere, Obama does not use buses, and I would venture a guess that one flight uses more energy than her tanning bed does in a year.
Go Lou Dobbs - he's really ripping both candidates

A new one.  Boy oh boy was he going off.  He is so disgusted with the whole crisis going on and that the mainstream americans are going to end up paying for it.  First he went off on John McCain and boy did he go off.  Then he went off on Obama and boy did he let him have it too.  He never once said one has a better solution that the other or one was more to blame than the other.  He ended it by saying something to the effect (I forget exact words) but something about these two candidates are running to be president and they both won't answer questions with a straight answer.  And if they can't even answer then they both shouldn't be running (or don't want it bad enough).  Like I say I forget the exact words but I do have to say I'm going to start listening to Lou Dobbs from now on because he's not taking sides.


If you get to see his show on CNN tonight you should catch it.  Very good points he brings up (and you could see the spokespersons for both sides cringing at what he was saying).  He didn't let them get away with anything.


I wish both candidates were black! Then no one would be able to say it is about race. It is not abo
