The Official 2012 Campaign Ad Thread

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

I also guarantee the vast majority of Americans would have wildly preferred Hillary Clinton over Barack Obama, a man who had no qualifications to be President.

Bro, he was a professor of constitutional law and worked in community organizing and in the US Senate. That is not 'no qualifications' (it is, admittedly, 'considerably fewer on-paper qualifications than John McCain').

You must also remember in the case of this election that the concept of electing so-called captains of industry or business whizzes President does not, in this country, exactly have an illustrious history, nor one of achieving the desired results.

It actually bothers me when people call a guest lecturer --a professor. 

All right, lecturer. It wasn't like he just lectured once or twice though. He was there kind of a lot.

What? No it wouldn't. It clearly wouldn't. There's like twenty-five years of paid employment in there, what in God's name are you even talking about?

He held government office, lectured occasionally on the side, had a summer job in college...  You understand that it is easier to dismiss that "paid employment history" as not working (because most of it involved not working) than raising 5 boys right?  That is the simple concept I pointed out.  That is what I'm talking about.  Democrats hate when you apply their standards to themselves.  --I will say that candidate Obama has been part of some campaigns that required a lot of work.  That isn't "paid employment" though.           

Are you genuinely obtuse and unable or unwilling to look up what being a community organizer at the level that Obama was actually involves or are you knowingly regurgitating fatuous rhetoric just because you think it scores some point?

I might add that you also don't seem to understand the actual context in which Hilary Rosen (whose general relevance as a person I still do not understand) accused Ann Romney of not having work experience, but I think we as a community have been over that ad nauseam with little to no discernible effect.

[Okay, maybe Mike Johnson is a competent parliamentarian.]

He made a lot of promises and under delivered...  I don't have a lot of experience doing that, but I don't want to have that on my record.  I wouldn't list my charitable work at a women's shelter, a food pantry, a voter registration drive, or a historical society as a qualification for POTUS, but that's just me.   

This bears, of course, little resemblance to what being a community organizer, as a career or long-term paid position of any kind, actually entails.
