Since he has never led anything, why is Obama qualified to be President?

No he was never an advisor to the Obama campaign.

 

It's in the details... you see what you want to. He was contacted. He gave advise. He was not on the "payroll" but...

You find the link. It's in the same article that makes America aware that the relationship is not what some may see as a story... but again you see what you want.

Pretty sure if a man admits he's had contact with a campaign about economic issues in which he gave advice... general or not... he's an adviser in some capacity.

 

if you believe hard enough than it becomes true
-republican truth

 

Just words.... just speeches.


You keep drinkin' the kool aid... One day the mothership just might show up.

 

I guess it's just semantics at this point. It says he had discussions. That's not an adviser. I guess neither of us know exactly what was said, but either way it seems clear that he wasn't what most would think of as an adviser. That is agreed upon by both the Obama campaign and Raines himself.

 

yeah, let's take the advice of the people whose philosophy on economic policy put us here to begin with.

excellent idea.

 

That's my point. Noe of us (in here) know, because we do not have first hand information. Campaigns change marching orders midstream now days, and direct people to "tailor" their statements to the media about private dealings... And both sides are playing shadow tricks as we type.

 

Sure - one can always conjure up an excuse to get your candidate off the hook. That's what you've done here.

By the way, I didn't reply to your post to me as FB did a great job dissecting your reply and I couldn't have said it better or with more authority.

 

I will respect FB's authoritay! (We all offer up excuses, face it.)

 

That's Madame Governor to you.

Who's "low ranking?" You don't have to vote for the man, but you don't need to insult his sacrifice either. Shameful.

Yeah, McCain should have just moved up the convention two weeks to get ahead of the Democrats so he could show his decisiveness.

 

you already made up your mind.... there is no point

 

I don't think he's qualified, but nonetheless, the United States people have been blindly voting to "change" whatever the previous president has done.

Dude hasn't been around for much, but already wants to be president. Heck, if that's the case, even I should run. (but I can't, since I was born in Meh-hee-koh.)

Enjoy SwoLy's time in the D&D, everyone. Have at it.

I agree with Mr. Giuliani.

i'm not diminishing what mccain did, but what is shameful is that he's using that line to take advantage of the american people.


All the news stations were talking about how Mccain was going to wait till Obama made his decision, i can guarantee you that mccain's VP pick was going to depend on Obama's, if Hilary was chose it woulda been Palin who? Its much like his campaign, he has nothing to contribute other than scare the people of what Obama will do.
