		<description>McCain released all of his records including his honorable military record. George Bush released all his academic transcipts. So did McCain. McCain released his class rank at the Naval Academy. What was Obama&#039;s class rank at the service academy...oh wait. He was busy smoking pot while others manned the front lines. 

Obama is the only one who refused all requests for information about his past. If George Bush were so dishonorable as to seal his records, why then did all of his military records surface including the fact that he DID ask for early release from his Guard unit in order to attend Harvard? How did his drunk driving arrest surface? why did every late-night TV host make jokes about his C grades at Yale? (until Al Gore&#039;s straight-D grade reports were released) These things are public record because Bush was an honorable candidate. The only Presidential candidate who ever hid every fact about himself is Barack Hussein Obama. You can still gloat that he beat the war hero with the long record of service to his country. That&#039;s OK. He is your guy. I&#039;m pointing out that his record is thin, and doesn&#039;t demostrate the capacity to lead or a history of service to his country. That is public record. Obama&#039;s grades and medical history are not. Why lie about other past Presidents and his opponent? As you point out, McCain lost, Obama won. The country rejected honesty and service and elected secretive question mark. Be proud of that! Your guy won. Hitler and Stalin won elections too, I might remind you.

I did not stand for election. I didn&#039;t lose anything. The country lost by electing an affirmative action President. One who will get many Americans killed to pay for his Oprah-sidency. The day will come when you will pray for an experienced leader in that Office. The day will come when you will look into his eyes and realize that you elected a slick metrosexual who lacks the capacity to lead the nation through trying times. You&#039;ll wish you had voted differently, but it will be too late.... maybe for someone you love. Maybe your last moment on Earth will be the moment you realize that magazine coverboys make bad Commanders in Chief.</description>

		<description>The problem with Obama is fundamental. No one knows anything about him at all. He has never been tested in a leadership role, never shown he has the courage of his convictions, and just when has he managed, led, or suffered through any type of crisis? Sure, we were sold the bill of goods that Obama, simply being &quot;different&quot; meant that he was made of strong stuff, leadership material, but anyone with an IQ in triple digits knows that being &quot;different&quot; really isn&#039;t a qualification for leadership. That&#039;s only on TV, where the sitcom family learns a lesson &quot;on a very special one-hour episode&quot;. 

Obama never received a private sector paycheck, never managed others, mostly voted &quot;present&quot; in his state legislature job, and was mostly absent from his Senate seat. He has been camapigning for political power since he left law school, never saw fit to make the obstacle course at OCS while a TI screamed and fired blanks. Never merited the respect of a salute, never showed the armed forces of the United States enough respect to give one. 

He is the ultimate blank slate, a black slate, if you will, because blackness seems to be his chief and only real qualification in the minds of the mindless electorate. The same people who watch Oprah, go to movies, consume Star magazine, and think the &quot;Daily Show&quot; is a real news program elected Obama. Who else would? Sure, throw in millions of State College and JuCo hippies, but they just want to SEEM intelligent without doing the work. Obama is their mirror image. He seems Presidential and Leader-y, without ever having done the real deal. Off script, we are learning that he is scatter-brained, and unfocussed. His cabinet appointments are probably being made by others, and where they don&#039;t make sense they are probably the result of a team led by a poor leader. 

Talk to real leaders. CEO&#039;s, men in the military. They will tell you that leading people is not an OJT thing. It must be developed, nurtured, and practiced over time. Community Organizers and absentee Senators don&#039;t get tried in the fire. They learn the art of politicking, compromising, hiding the truth, and obscuring their agenda. (is Obama the only President in the modern age to never release his medical and university records? I think he is!)

If Obama makes wild cabinet picks, and does the unexpected, it isn&#039;t because he believes in something or for the sake of a principle. It is from a lack of time in the drivers seat. Conatrast the pictures from Obama&#039;s time in college published in Time Magazine with those of pictures of midshipmen at the Naval Academy, like say John McCain. Self involved versus a brotherhood of service, style over substance, vapid versus valiant. The ship of State is in the hands of an unqualified, untried, untested man. Expect it to reel, rock, lurch, and run aground. The captain got promoted from the engine room, and he doesn&#039;t know what he&#039;s doing. Hopefully, we won&#039;t go down. History suggests we probably will, though. 

Examining Obama&#039;s decision making is as fruitless as an examination of the jet fighter piloting skills of a 3 year old. Yes they are deficient, and it is obvious why.</description>
