1. I said, Obama thinks the private sector is the enemy. Not good for the president of a capitalist country. I said, he has never earned anything he has gotten. how do you become a teacher of law, when you have never been a lawyer? H,e has not worked for anything that has been given to him INCLUDING a nobel prize. Palin's roots are more down to earth with the rest of our society as part of the working class, which Obama has never been. Also while we are at it, how is it working for the public sector is just as legit as working in the private sector, unless it is me, and then of course it is welfare? You all in the BF2S brain trust really need to come up with constant on this issue.
2. What jobs has Obama applied for? What was his background and practical experience that made him qualified for anything?
3. You can be in a leadership roll, without being a leader Ty, ever have a shitty boss? or heard of one? Being in a leadership roll without practical experience at being a leader, does not make you a leader. It merely means you have risen to the level of your incompetence.
4. yes......especially since getting one for nothing kinda dilutes the meaning of the prize.

I like this numbering thing it makes things easier.
1) You know
I was at law school for two years before I deemed it a massive waste of time. Out of all the law lectures I had
only two had ever been practicing lawyers. Teaching is not lawyering and academia is certainly not lawyering. What they teach you at law school isn't how to be a lawyer they teach you the
law, otherwise it'd be called 'lawyer school'. That's why law graduates who want to practice law have to pass a Bar exam and why when they enter a law firm, (if they decide to go that way,) they're made paralegals and glorified office bitches until they actually learn the profession.
Also Lowing,
learn what the public sector is. The public sector isn't welfare. A police officer is not a welfare recipient. A public librarian is not a welfare recipient. A politician, district attorney, judge, public school teacher - these are not welfare recipients. If you work a job in the office of a politician as a secretary or assistant or as security, if you work in a Government department doing
anything you are working in the public sector. I doubt the US has many SOEs but every position in an SOE from the janitor to the CEO and Chairman is a public sector position despite the work not differing at all from a similar enterprise in the private sector. Pretty unfair to say that this work is less legitimate.
2) Well I don't know. Certainly he's been headhunted a number of times but that's what happens. Many businesses and organisations shop for people at Universities and Colleges or in other organisations, they find the high achievers or otherwise suitable people and offer them positions. You'll say, (I'm sure,) there's no evidence of Obama being worthy of being offered the position but you have no evidence to the contrary. People don't look at someone mediocre and think "That guy's average, I want him in my organisation!" They look for the qualities they are after and if they find it in a person they will offer them a job. This is the way the world works and if Obama constantly proved himself as somone others wanted to employ then good for him. Being jealous that we have to apply and interview for jobs the regular way doesn't help anyone.
The way you're looking at things Obama's career could have been only achieved one way: Luck. No one is this lucky. Luck doesn't even exist, there is only opportunity and those who choose to take it.
3) See while before you were claiming that Obama had no leadership experience now your claiming that the leadership experience he got was worthless. How the Hell can you know that? Also answer me this: How does one get leadership experience without taking on a leadership role? Obama has had many leadership roles be they being President of the Harvard Law Review or the leader of some community organisations, it's certainly more of a leadership foundation than most people have. Interesting thing about it is that he kept getting offered new leadership roles. This doesn't suggest to me that people thought he was incompetent because people don't want incompetent leadership for their organisations.
4) I think it would have been better for Obama to decline the prize. It's not unheard of, it's happened twice before. Once was because the recipient, (prize for literature,) was a purist wanker but it was also declined by a Vietnamese diplomat who didn't feel he had earned it, (prize for peace.) Still, declining a Nobel Prize is a pretty uncommon thing and it's not surprising that he didn't. Anyway we pretty much agree on this point so lets move on.
5) Like I said, I was sure this kind of talk existed. It's a shame but let me say it: Cafferty and Olberman are idiots. These guys harping on about how not voting for Obama or criticising him counts as racist - idiots. They exist on both sides of politics. But come on, this kind of talk is recognised for what it is: Idiocy. It's just like the people who run around saying Obama's a Muslim sleeper agent. But here's the thing: these types of people, thankfully, are a minority. They can be a loud minority but they're a minority nonetheless.
You ask for one issue where the race card hasn't been played - Hell I don't know. There are probably people out there who do sincerily believe that opposing Obama in any way is racist. So what? There were people out there who thought any opposition to President Bush was "Bush-Bashing". Same deal. Does it change anything? Not one bit.
