Do The Math

Hello blogging world,

I am also extremely busy because of college & work, but wanted to share something that I found posted (on Facebook...ha) about everyone's favorite Democrat... (I didn't write it, so don't give me the credit)



More food for thought. (or Mud slinging to those of you who might stand a little to the left) If you don't think about some of these things, how can you come to an independent decision. You can't believe all the good or the bad things, but certainly have to weigh them in the mix.

Here is "the math" on Senator Obama:

2 = Number of terms he served in the Illinois State Senate

1/3 term = portion of term spent in the U.S. SenateHe is now a Junior U.S. Senator from Illinois, and only that for 18 months of his first term.

Counting all the recesses, four day weekends, more than a year spent campaigning, and his absences, Obama has only spent about 6 weeks of workdays on the Senate floor as one of the most junior members of the U.S. Senate.


80% = percentage of votes he cast as "Present " or "Abstain" (he did not want any record on his voting history to tarnish his legitimacy to the Presidency)
14 = Number of cases he tried as a trial lawyer (Google the outcomes. There were no tremendous judgements in favor of his clients)

1 = Other jobs he's held.

He was a "community organizer". Is that a PTA president? Is that a Homeowners Association President? No, it's not even an elected position.What is a community organizer anyhow? It's a self-appointed position for someone who's trying to get things done to improve a community. It's a resume stuffer.


Zero = Accomplishments in his job.



As a community organizer, his major cause was getting the asbestos out of a housing project. Obama failed at that. After two years of
trying, the asbestos was still there when he left and is still there even now that he is a U.S. Senator and presumably has some pull to get things done.



That's it!!!


Barack Obama's entire real world work resume includes:


6 = Six weeks work in the U.S. Senate with nothing to show for it.
2 = Two years as a lawyer and only 14 minor trials.
2 = Two years as a "community organizer" with nothing accomplished.
He's never balanced a budget.
He's never served in any executive position.
He's never run any business or organization.
He's never held a major position while in office.
He has no credentials to examine to see what he has accomplished.


He's an empty suit!

Well-known Washington Post columnist Charles Krauthammer writes:


"Barak Obama is an immensely talented man whose talents have been devoted to crafting and chronicling his own life. Not things. Not
idea. Not institutions, but himself.
"Eerily missing from the Democratic Convention this year were people of stature who were seriously involved at some point in Obama's
life, standing up to say: "I know Barack Obama. We've toiled/endured together." No one to say: "You can trust him. I do."
"Who was there to speak of the real Barack Obama? His wife. She could tell you about the father, the husband, the family man in a winning and perfectly sincere way. But that only takes you so far. It doesn't take you to the public man, the national leader."
"Only a relative to give him a reference? You don't do that! Might we say that could be self-serving? A joke? Not Hillary, Bill, nor even VP candidate, Joe Biden, could testify of anything he's accomplished.
They all basically said, "He's a Democrat...let's support him."

But he does give a great speech...if he has someone else to write it for him and a teleprompter to read from -- a rock band to attract the crowd doesn't hurt either.



Question: Would you hire someone with this little experience?

Answer: Of course not, yet he's running for the highest position possible in this country, the Presidency of the United State, and the leadership of the free world.

Audacity is definitely the appropriate word here!!
