Obama’s 143 Days of Senate Experience
Obama’s 143 Days of Senate Experience
Just how much Senate experience does Barack Obama have in terms of actual work days? Not much.
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan.
143 days — I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.
In contrast, John McCain’s 26 years in Congress, 22 years of military service including 1,966 days in captivity as a POW in Hanoi now seem more impressive than ever.
At 71, John McCain may just be hitting his stride.

That is one of the funniest things I have ever read on PR. And everyone knows how I feel about sheepdip, so I aint lying!
But in terms of the election in November;
The Free World, as it has been put, wants Obama. We are sick to death of people like George W. Bush. Why? Well, as rightly pointed out, your President is the leader of the ENTIRE free world. That's not just because of the military might of the United States of America. And, if you think you are the leaders of the free world, just because you have great aircraft carriers and invisible bombers, you are selling yourself very cheaply.
No, it's not just your military. It is also your hamburgers, your proms, your football, your schools, your PTA's, Hollywood, Nashville, Maine Lobsters, Chicago Steaks, Halloween, Thanks Giving Day, in fact, almost everything you do. You people are simply good. The world loves to hate you (but not me). But, the begrudgingly respect your achievements. You leave us little choice. You are simply the best. We even have Halloween in Germany these days. Blieve me, that was not the case 15 years ago.
But being the best means you need to lighten up on the not so goods. You beat the rest of the world in leadership, but you mustn't be arrogant about it. W. Bush has been. Reagan was a Prince among men. We had a good laugh with Clinton. But, W. Bush has been a nightmare.
If McCain is deemed to be anything like W. or his father, it would not surprise me to see Obama's coffers filled with money funnelling in from outside the US of A.
The world is sick of your President today. We have been for many years.
But back to my original point. The Free World wants Obama. And, if indeed he has only had 143 days of experience, we want him even more, because maybe, just maybe he will lead the Free World and not just America. He won't be indoctrinated with some of the drivel that The Free World has had to swallow.
Boy, I hope I don't lose any friends here posting this. I should learn when to keep my mouth shut.

This quote should be enough for any good thinking american to vote for McCain.
Tar - the fact that the "free world" wants Obama means he is NOT right for this country. I live in Ill. This idiot has been my senator (I did not vote for him). I will not vote for him. No one else should either.
Oh, and that President that "the free world is sick of" has helped keep you free over the last 5 years, and probably helped keep the number of terrorism related attackes lower than they would have been. Remember Tar, those attacks are happening PRIMARILY in your backyard.... not ours. We got the big one, you got the rest of them.
I shudder to think how the world would look today had the last President that the free world wanted - (Al Gore) been elected. :shock: The thought of him handling Sept. 11th sickens me.
Tar - you haven't pissed me off and you shouldn't have to keep your mouth shut, however, ask yourself - is Europe as a whole prepared to deal with terrorist attacks? Are you willing to take the war to them? Quite honestly, I see you folks as prepared to defend yourselves as you were in WWII when the Germans captured everything they invaded until America got involved.
We protected you folks then, and we're doing it again today. Makes no difference to me whether you like the method or not. Maybe you should just be grateful for the free help? :tup:
