Learnin' Curve....

...I am going to assume that Senator Obama is going to win the nomination. I am also going to assume that he will survive the inevitable right-wing smear machine and narrowly, very narrowly, defeat Senator McCain in November.

Then What? (Capitalized for emphasis).

President Obama, who has never governed anything during his political career and to the best of my knowledge has not sponsored a single piece of major legislation during his short tenure in the U.S. Senate, will be faced with the most incredible OJT that one could think of - the leader of the free world and responsible for a bureaucracy that numbers in the millions

Didn't we just go through this? Did we learn nothing from the disaster we have endured for eight, long, painful years?

The smartest thing Senator Obama can do when he selects his running mate is find a governor or ex-governor to run on his ticket (and not just any governor or ex-governor, one who has spent some time in DC). If he doesn't, all this 'change' and 'hope' will end up being a stale fart in a small closet.

'Hope' and 'change' can win elections (just like wantin' to have a beer with some guy you don't know - oh, how we found out how well that turned out), but it takes experience, nuance and saavy to govern.

Think hard.

4. NEVER GOVERNED ANYTHING

So let's elect the extreme Iraq war vote flip flopper who was against funding the war before he was elected Senator, then for it, then against it again once he decided to run as the anti-war candidate.

Because what this country REALLY needs is another on the job trainee POTUS. We can't get enough of those, regardless of party, apparently.

5. When all else fails, raise the fear card.

Every president has a steep learning curve. Neither Hillary Clinton nor Barack Obama has any executive
experience. Obama has chosen strong advisors such as Richard Clarke, one of the most competent men
in Washingon. And Obama has a reputation for not only being brilliant, but listening carefully and taking
advise from wise people.

Having watched the competency level and organizational style of his campaign, I have high confidence that
he will make a fine president.

6. Then apparently Bono can be President of Ireland....

...because of the massive effort it takes to pull off a U2 tour.

Bullshit, you've been warned. Have fun cleaning up the mess and just remember that a lot of us called out President Insane in 1999 and we weren't listened to back then either.

7. Who said Bono wouldn't be a great president of Ireland?

Not me. He has more social awareness that most other leaders put together.

Bono for president, sounds good to me.
