So... Other than getting that hottie Scarlett Johansen to call me and leave a message on my answering machine yesterday...

Has Barack Obama actually DONE anything that warrants him running the most powerful country in the history of the planet?

Anything?

Anything?

Beuller?

Well, I doubt this is really the place to find out. Why don't you go read about it yourself, instead of trying to spark a political fight on a webcomic forum.

I imagine no matter where you look you will get the answer you want, though.

You say that as if Sore Thumbs ISN'T a political webcomic. lol.

I also notice there hasn't been an answer. ANY answer. Whether it's the one I'd 'want' or not.

The guy is a great orator. No doubt about it. But it takes more than giving a great speech to run this country.

"The guy is a great orator. No doubt about it. But it takes more than giving a great speech to run this country."

Yeah, like cheating on your now-running-for-president wife, or claiming there's weapons of mass destruction, in fact pin-pointing the exact position, but not being able to tell where the trucks on the pictures filled to the brim with weapons of mass destruction went...

Excuse me while the real world, that being every country in the universe other than the U.S.A., laughs in your face and the faces of most (other) pathetic patriotic Americans. Haha.

Other than that: bits of this clip were featured on Dutch television. I hate rap, but I like this thing. It's probably not a complete picture because I'm not American myself, but every time I see Obama I'm reminded of Martin Luther King. And that guy kicked ass ^_^

Oh, and for the gamers among us; wasn't Hillary siding with "Wacko Jacko" Jack Thompson when it came to games and aggression and stuff? I'm surprised I haven't heard or read anything about this little tidbit of info on any of the (American-based) gaming websites I've been to lately.

You ask whether he's "DONE anything" as if there's some supreme prerequisite for becoming President.

He's been a lawyer, a professor of constitutional law, and a legislator, each for a number of years.

What's your other options? Being shot down in Vietnam and then being a legislator? Being a lawyer and a legislator for a number of years? Being a terrible governor of a Southern state?

Moreover, what someone has done is meant to be used as an indicator of what they will do - along with their policy positions and the stances they take on more amorphous issues (such as the role of the Presidency.)

In short, the question is meaningless.

I wouldn't say entirely useless. I think we can use someone who knows the constitution after this president we've been having.

I started this. Just FYI.

I'm personally not a fan of ANYONE running for president. I think it's a sad state of affairs when this lot is the best we can do out of the entire COUNTRY to pick from.

But as for 'doing' something? Come on. Obama hasn't authored a single piece of legislation in the Senate. Hell, he practically hasn't even taken any positions in his campaign. Something Hillary has been pointing out in her own campaigning.

McCain... Gah. Don't get me started. I happen to like the first amendment, he's obviously not a fan. 80% of the American people want the border enforced, his reply? "You want your fence? I'll give you your g-ddammed fence." 80% of Americans are against amnesty, he's the guy who tried to ram it down our throats behind closed doors.

And Hillary? Puh-lease. Would we even know who this woman is if she hadn't been married to the despoiler-in-chief? She won a seat on the senate by playing the 'pity' card.

Frankly, for all his faults, I'd rather have BILL back in the White House than either Hill or Obama. At least he had a spine of jelly and would do what the pollsters told him to do.

Obama would stand by his socialist stands on principle. And that would cripple this economy, and make us more of a lame-duck military than we were under Clinton the first time around.

Huckabee doesn't stand a chance of getting the nod, but he's got a slew of problems too.

I cry for the next 4 years, any way you slice it. I think I may move my family to Italy or something for a while.
