only 143 days in office and your ready to be President ?

@ 07:04 AM (14 months, 14 days ago)
 
 

 
This  zeroes in on the gut issue quickly!
 
 Are we all aboard the USS  Ship of Fools? Makes me wonder!
 
The first time I read this quote, I thought it was dangerously true. 
Then I really started pondering it and thought how would this apply to 
our own lives/careers?   Let's look at it again to see how absurd it is.
 
1)  You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 
143 days of experience.
 
2) You couldn't  become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of 
being a surgeon.

3) You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 
days of experience.
4) You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of 
experience.
 
5) You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor 
after 143 days of experience.
 
6) You couldn't get a masters or a doctorate degree then become the dean or president of a university after 143 days of experience .

 
BUT....
 
'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?

 We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 
143 days, that's all it is - a start.
 
AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public seems to feel 
comfortable with this and campaigning for him.
 
We wouldn't accept this in our own line of work, yet some are OK with 
this for the President of the  United States of America?
 
Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol here !

  3. Dude. You do know that even on days when senators aren't voting, they're still WORKING, right? In their offices working on legislation... in their states attending events with citizens... etc.

    4 years in the Senate times 365 days in a year (366 in leap year) does not equal 143. Use your brain and at least come up with a legitimate reason for opposing Obama, because this one belies your complete ignorance.

    (Oh, and by the way, my previous sentence demonstrates the CORRECT use of "your." Your headline, above, should be "you're," as in a contraction of the words "you" and "are.")

    Clearly the ONLY thing you are qualified to vote on is American Idol. Leave the important voting to people with brains.

  5. This Barry isn't THE Barry is it?
    Obama is a CFR traitor who smoked crack and blew Larry Sinclair. That's a good enough reason ain't it?

  7. what alot of people seem to forget is.it does not matter who becomes president.without the senate's approval.a president's idea doesn't fly.remember when bush1 said,"no new taxes" unless the senate approves it.that didn't work.cause here's the biggest thing that fool's alot of people.THE SENATE HAS underline TO APPROVE EVERY PRESIDENTIAL DECISION

  10. Well I think there isn't much we can do about it now, we'll just have to wait and see how Obama will handle the job. So far I think he's handling it just fine, some people reach on top of their career in just 143 day, we have the proof of that.
