Who Would You Hire

You are The Boss... which team would you hire?

With America facing historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling

health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population,

skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage crises, bank foreclosures,

etc. etc., this is an ***unusually critical*** election year.

Let's look at the educational background of your two options:

Obama:

Occidental College - Two years.

Columbia University - B.A. political science with a specialization in

international relations.

Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna Cum Laude

& Biden:

University of Delaware - B.A. in history and B.A. in political science.

Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)

vs.

McCain:

United States Naval Academy - Class rank 894 of 899

& Palin:

Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester

North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study

University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism

Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester

University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in journalism

Now, which team are you going to "hire" ?

" You are dude, called out and shot down. Obama's are still in his face. He totally lied, as he's made statements to the contrary on numerous other occasions. The sound bites are available on-line as well as been played over the air on radio and t.v.

Now who's the sub rock dweller? U R "

" "If McCain and Palin have disreputable associates"

The do. They have already been called out. Do you like under a rock?

Now who were you saying was blowing hot air?

Obama is the best choice. "

" It does matter who he associates with, then and now. I guess it doesn’t matter to you if he’s president that slowly all your rights given as a free American will disappear as we become dependent upon the government because there‘ll be no jobs so you‘ll be forced to do it‘s bidding. This is no game.

If McCain and Palin have disreputable associates, we'll find out, but I don't think there are any. If there were the press would have been all over it to discredit them.

Besides,you're--blowing-hot-air.

McCain/Palin all the way. "

" Vote Obama!!!!!!!!!
It should not matter who he associated with at one time or another, the only reason the publicicans are talking because he is an honest man who don't lie. Ask Mccain and Palin who they have associated with? the publicians have to tell Mccain what to say - I am not like
Bush- which is a out right LIE.
VOTE OBAMA 08!!! "

" Obama is a liar. He's lied about many things. His affiliation’s, business and personal, he opens his mouth and out comes word vomit. He may not be the anti-christ but he's sure full of him. The Obama protesters are too, the obscene stuff they shouted and had on t-shirts all based on admitted-lies about Palin. Obama's team will stop at nothing, including stealing votes and stuffing the ballot box, undermining the American way. Obama and his wife spit on America and openly condemn America “This-is-the-first-time-I’m-proud-of-America”(they-say-that-now-that-Obama’s-running-for-President)but-before-that ,"God D@mn America", and anyone who votes for him does too…is-this-who-you-are???

" The pinning down of the Mississippi River, the following elimination of sediment delivery to wetlands, navigation canals, the dead zone, pollution, oil spills etc… have all played a significant role in coastal erosion and wetland loss. These are all externalities pushed onto society. It’s a cost that we as people are paying, not big business. Continuing to subsidize this makes no sense. Who should pay to fix the problem? "

You're so set on something that it has you in blind anger. You should pay attention to what Alex said because he's on target if for no other reason than experience. All you have is an argument and experience wipes that out every time dude. Just like what’s going on in the campaign. "

John wrote on Oct 13, 2008 9:14 AM:

" I do not understand how my fellow Louisianaians forget that our coastline is vanishing more and more each day. We need restoration and wetland creation asap. As we have seen in the past 8 years republicans will not fund it. Yet they continue to subsidize big buisness. It's time. It's time to take our state back.

" Patrick...Can you be a little more specific? I am somewhat familiar with the history of "Operation Paperclip", but it doesn't seem to fit your narrative, because the project was authorized by President Harry Truman, who was a DEMOCRAT! Also, I find it funny that you equate republicans to the KKK, when the KKK was founded by, and entirely comprised of southern DEMOCRATS. Remember, President Lincoln was a Republican. It's also funny how you leave out the fact that ex-KKK leader and current Senior Senator, ROBERT BYRD, is a DEMOCRAT! Would you like to explain little conflict? "

What does that say about the importance of character and experience, in comparison to education alone?

Just because Obama and Biden are ambulance-chasing trial lawyers, doesn't mean that I should agree with them when they say things like...Sex education for kindergarteners is a good thing. "

" John, that's just simply not true. Besides, the democrats have enough votes to over-ride any veto. Bush was President when they all ran for office, yet they still promised all these things, and have not delivered on a single promise.Instead, they choose to take extended vacations. If what you are saying is true, then why did they try to make us believe that it was the most important election of our lifetimes?Why did they even run? Instead of passing legislation, they hold completely meaningless hearings on insignificant things. "

Weren't all of their campaigns centered on "CHANGE", and "A NEW DIRECTION"? Didn't they promise to lower gas prices, bring the troops home, etc.? Remember Nancy Pelosi's promise to "drain the Republican swamp" within her first 100 days in office? The Liberal controlled Congress now has a 9% approval rating, the lowest in the history of the Nation, and you want to extend this failure to the executive branch. Brilliant! "

Now, if you think that I'm a "Scumbag Hypocrite Republican" for believing this,then so be it. You know darn well what I mean when I say pro-life, so address THAT issue, and stop trying to dodge it.

It's already happening. Notice the stock market decline as Obama's poll numbers rise.Even far left pundants agree.But I guess you'll say these people are "UNPATRIOTIC". "

John wrote on Oct 8, 2008 7:53 AM:

" Yes, Christ is Pro-Life! Christ is Pro-life in the most literal sense there is. Christ was also a Liberal!
Pro-Life in the most literal sense means that one is Pro-Environment, Pro-helping the Poor, Pro-feeding the hungry, Pro-Giving shelter to those in need, Pro-Health Care as a right and Anti War.

If anything, Christ would scoff at the hypocritical use of Pro-Life as in the way that Scumbag Hypocrite Republicans use the word to pretend that they actually care about human-beings. Pro-Life means helping people have a better world. "

" Quit acting like we're not voting for Obama because he's black. That's ridiculous. We're not voting for him because he is a snobby, Anti-American, who acts like he's poor when he has numerous homes... He is a fake... and if you caught the speech where his teleprompter went out, you'd see what a babbling IDIOT he is. You can't just decide to run for president after only ACTUALLY being on the Congress floor for 6 weeks. He has NO experience. The presidency is not suited for "on-the-job-training"... What a joke... and people fall for that... "

" Chuck, you had me going for a second, but you dropped the ball...Unlike these other clowns that make statements like WT with his auto immune disease,..and O/B '08 wanting dead people to run for president and tiger96's misconception of everything including that gnats have knees...There's all the ones that will vote Obama because they want change,..but just like his campaign slogan,..he's got it upside down...The only reason Obama is where he is-is because of his skin color,..he's denied his white mom and grandparents since he was 12or13...That says a lot about a person-ya'll-had-better-be-careful-you-just-might-get-what-you-ask-for-not-necessarily-what-you-want.

" I compare the question in this post to a stacked poker deck. You ask a loaded question predetermining the answers, because you know it'll stir that proverbial pot, all for the sake of stirring that pot. Both candidates have their strengths and weaknesses. BOTH! Focusing on VERIFIED falsehoods about Obama or VERIFIED war records about McCain are parlor tricks of deception. Why not focus on the real issues instead of the penny ante he said/she said silliness we continue to see and hear? Where's Ross Perot when you need him? I'm prepared for your retorts. Bring em on! "

Obama Lama Ding Dong wrote on Oct 1, 2008 11:51 PM:

" Why would anyone vote for a not patriotic person such as Obama? The man and I say that loosely, can't even place his hand over his heart when the National Anthem is being played. In fact he even thinks the words to the anthem are to harsh. I wonder if this highly intelligent man ever considered the lives lost to get him to the posibility of being president of the greatest nation on earth. Naaa, How did he say it? Should the winds turn against Islam he would side with Islam. What a FOOLISH CLOWN. "

" McCan't does have experience in serving our country, but what about the ones who died are the ones who got injured that served us? can they be president too? it takes more than that to run a country. And Sarah Palin shouldn't even talk outloud, never. Obama, black or white, christian, baptist or muslim, i will be vote for him because of his efforts in the change we need ! close your eyes and open your mind, forget what obama looks like and what religion he is. he will be the one for the job!

Obama/Biden 2008! "

" "historic debt, multiple war fronts, stumbling health care, a weakened dollar, all-time high prison population, skyrocketing Federal spending, mortgage & banking crises"

All happened under the "watchful" eyes of the Reps, the party of which McCain has been a woefully lackluster member since Obama was knee-high to a gnat: self-proclaimed "maverick", who's voted 90% of the time with Pres. Bush, no leadership positions held in Senate despite his longevity, lack of knowledge about our economy, doesn't know the difference b/t Sunnis & Shiites--I'll pass if this is what "experience" gets us.

" Please study each candidate well . Make a wise and informed choice . Each appears to have positive and negative issues . Also each VP choice have the same . Consider the tax the rich issue to provide funds for the government out reach programs . Remember the present tax codes allow all tax payers to redude their tax burden with legal deductions . Most accountants will take advantage of these deductions this will reduce the federal income . Beware when the shortfall arises your tax burden may be next to increase . "

" We'll find out in the end that Palin is not the "Blessed Saint" that the Republicans want you to believe she is. Why do you think they don't want her answering any questions from the media? Obama is a safer bet in my opinion. I don't want any more of the old political ideas. I can't afford it. "

" To:LK...I heard the same slip up but people here will believe only what they want to hear. He could confess and they wouldn't believe it and be in total denial. He could admit the fanny mae & freddie mac theft, they would deny he ever said anything. obama has a slick plausible excuse for everything and these people believe it because it's what they want to hear. Obtuse decadence is on the rise here in NI, go figure. "

To Berry wrote on Sep 30, 2008 2:25 PM:

" I made the muslim reference, because it is in his book, he did make the "slip" in an interview he has said his father "Greatly influenced" his life and is a muslim. Walks like a duck quacks like a duck -- must be a chicken?? Don't think so.

Oh and by the way HE'S NOT BLACK!
Look him up on the net -- 50% WHITE (Mom's side) - 33% ARAB & 16% Luo (African Tribe) (Dad's side)
He qualifies because of the 16%
I qualify to be Cherokee I'm 1/8, does that make me Native American. "

" To All,
The only reason Obama will have so many votes is because he is part black.
Enough said. "

LKJHGFDSA wrote on Sep 30, 2008 9:11 AM:

" He let it slip that he is a Muslim. In an inteview with "journalist" George Stephenopolus Obama said "...my Muslim faith." To which "journalist" Stephenopolus hurriedly said "you mean your Christian faith" to which Obama agreed.
I am a Christian, and I will never, in any way, shape or form, make a mistake and say "my Jewish faith" or "my Muslim faith." IT WILL NEVER HAPPEN. And anyone who believes that Obama said Muslim when he meant Christian is light years past foolish. "

" I see that nothing has changed in New Iberia. Why keep floating lies about Obama being a Muslim? This has been researched to death! To"I would hire McCain", I certainly would want the MD at the top of the class rather than the one at the bottom to try and save my life! Why not just say what you think, "I will not vote for a black man to be President of the United States" - we get it.
Obama/Biden 2008 "

" Bascially what you're saying is
Two Politician Lawyers one with International (read:Muslim tendencies)Training and Less than two years exp.
Vs.
One PROVEN war hero with 28 yrs exp.
One PROVEN Govenor who is head of Alaskan National Guard (Borders Communist Russia and has higher clearance than Biden or Obama)
Hmm!!! What to do ??

Hands on experience wins everytime buddy. Join the working world.

Experience vs. Education is what we are looking at -- beginners should start at the bottom and work their way up. Not start at the top and learn. "

Vote for McCainPalin wrote on Sep 28, 2008 12:54 PM:

" McCain/Palin, a vote for experience, not a song and dance man Obama. Obama would be eaten alive, we don't need on the job training, we need experience, we don't need someone that votes "present" over 100 times we need decisiveness and fast. We don't need someone who launched his political career in home of unrepentant domestic terrorist Bill Ayers, we need someone that puts these people away. "

Joe wrote on Sep 27, 2008 10:16 PM:

" McCain/Palin voter here. It will be a close race. The popular vote for Mr. Obama will be nice. Biden couldn't pull in enough votes for his own presidential contest, so what does one expect of him as the 2nd man on this ticket- not alot! McCain/Palin will surprise many, but time will tell that. The Electorial College will be the end all of this fiasco. The prisoner of war and the lipstick Alaskan lady will lead where it is needed for the real victory! The popular vote does NOT matter, folks! Sorry! "

" Experienced story teller. A time for change. We don't need stories when there is a job to be done. Palin has no experience. Change is the key. "

" To The Boss you must look further than what you are spoon feed from the main stream media to find the truth. There is no real difference between the Rep. or Dem. candidates except more of the same, they are not your only choice. It's time to replace whats broken. Vote for Chuck Baldwin Constitution Party if you wont real change. Make your vote count! "

xxx wrote on Sep 26, 2008 9:30 PM:

" I agree to your point that McCain has more experience. The issue is what has his experience done for ALL in the 26 years he's been in office? Name me one significant bill he has passed? If I am to decide against one who has done nothing for 26 years and one who at least wants to change things; I vote for a change. "

Affirmative action wrote on Sep 26, 2008 8:03 PM:

" The President of the United States should not be an affirmative action position. He should not be elected due to him simply being a minority, he should qualified. We can't afford to have a President on the job training. "

happy hal from southern cal wrote on Sep 26, 2008 6:00 PM:

" This comparison reminds me of the freshly graduated engineer on the drilling rig. He wanted to run the drill pipe at a certain RPM, and was told by less educated, but more experienced workers that at that RPM the pipe would break. "Well the book says I can use that RPM." So the genius did what he wanted and broke the pipe in the hole, causing a long, expensive delay. So much for his "impressive" education. I say let's go with the inexperienced Obama, what is the worst that could happen? JEEEEEEESH!!!!!! "

" Oh yeah...I forgot that experience means nothing. Sen. McCain has decades more experience than Sen. Obama. So who would I hire to run my company? Someone with a lifetime of experience to draw on or someone with law degree? My answer is simple. Experience wins. "

" Class rank of 894 out of 899? Well what would you call a person who graduated in the 900th slot out of 900 people in medical school? I think we would still call he/she a doctor. Am I not right? I would still be able to go to sleep at night knowing McCain who is a true american and not a muslim is running the country. Also, look at the experience in the senate. Why did you not put those numbers? "
