Want Ad: POSITION SOUGHT: PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
blogger wbboei says:

JOB DESCRIPTION: the successful candidate must have the ability to effectively manage and resolve a wide range of critical issues which significantly affect the welfare of 300 million Americans and billions of people in other countries across the world including but not limited to: national security, terrorism, economic recession, national debt, heath care crisis, shrinking job base, educational deficit, immigration, global warming, etc.

It is imperative for the candidate to have job related experience for two reasons: i) past experience is the most accurate predictor of future performance, and ii) the nature and urgency of our problems is such that the next president must address them commencing on day 1.

In addition, the candidate must have the right management philosophy, style, psychology, judgment, and moral courage to put our country to back on the right track through strong decisive leadership. In the immortal words of Harry Truman: “The buck stops here”.




-RESUME OF BARACK OBAMA-
-------------------------------------

QUALIFICATIONS: here are the job related qualifications of Barack Obama as I perceive them:

PRIOR EXPERIENCE:
MANAGEMENT PHILOSOPHY: Claims he is not a Chief Operating Officer. Believes he should set the direction for the country, and hire other people (as yet unidentified) to actually run the government. Yet, the evidence to date from the campaign trail suggests he does not hold subordinates accountable for their actions, i.e. South Carolina campaign staff, Jessie Jackson Jr., General Mc Peak, Axelrod, etc.)

MANAGEMENT STYLE: In public, he favors mass meetings, inspirational speeches, and mass movement politics. Behind the scenes he is the exact opposite, i.e. very deferential to powerful interests, and willing to concede a publicly held position as long as he can get a positive headline. Sometimes he gets political contributions too, i.e. Execon.

PSYCHOLOGICAL PROFILE: He preaches themes of empowerment and unity. But when challenged, he becomes very defensive, and tends to demonize opponents. And when he does not get his way threatens to pick up his marbles and go home. Finally, his attitude toward women is open to question, i.e. the snub, likeable enough, turning his back, etc.

JUDGMENT: He claims that he is always right on day 1. He cites a speech in Illinois legislature opposing Iraq War as proof–but concedes does not know what he would have voted. He tries to dismiss, but ultimately a 17 year political. He minimizes the assistance he sought and received from that individual as a “bone headed mistake”. He prefers to avoid hard decisions whenever possible (infra).

MORAL COURAGE: He failed to show up for Kyle Lieberman, but criticizes others who did. He voted pass 129 times on various pieces of legislation, on controversial issues. He decries lobbyists but uses them in his own campaign. In sum, he is never there when you need him.

REFERENCES: Oprah, Ted Kennedy, MSNBC, CNN, Big Blogs, and a long list of self serving political opportunists who know as well as we do that that he is unqualified for the job but wish to exploit that fact for their own advantage.
——————————————————————
CONCLUSION: if you put aside all the media hype, it becomes obvious that Barack Obama is not qualified for the job of President of the United States of America, particularly in these perilous times.

17. Not wanted: a 51-49 president who kills the potential growth of the democratic party.
Also not wanted: a candidate whose main selling point is so-called experience (although they have held elective office for less than eight years), only to lose to John McCain because he has more of it.

Also not wanted: a candidate that does not appeal to independent voters. We are essentially a 3-party country, with indies representing about 35% of the electorate. Do not apply if you have no chance of winning these voters in a contest with John McCain.
