And if education is your sole criteria for determining qualifications for Pres, I would take a guy who graduated at the top of his Harvard law school class (and was editor of law review) over a guy who graduated in the bottom third of his class at the Naval Academy.

Early in his speech, Obama misspoke about the number of states he had visited.
"It is just wonderful to be back in Oregon and over the last 15 months we have traveled to every corner of the United States. I have now been in 57 states," he said to a smattering of laughter in the crowd. "I think one left to go. One left to go - Alaska and Hawaii, I was not allowed to go even though I really wanted to visit, but my staff would not justify it."

_dux, the talking points framing this on salem talk radio was, "Here is Obama when he is tired....he doesn't even notice he has misspoken and that the crowd is laughing at him"....a president cannot "get tired" or be off his mark in crisis.....(Remember the look on the decider's face as he sat paralyzed in the classroom with the Pet Goat book in his hand?)...and "what kind of a president admits that his staff tell him where he can and cannot go?"
I have to agree with pan.....some of the posts here seem so invested in Obama the phenomenon, the larger than life figure, who, despite a generally hostile press treatment, soldiers on....to unity and victory in a new age of racial and political harmony.....

If he wins, do you believe he will take the oath of office on a Koran or that he is secretly a muslim and stopped wearing a flag pin because of some muslim belief?
Its this kind of bullshit that he, unlike other candidates, has to encounter at every stop.

whoa, _dux....kinda harsh, especially since Abaya's "pass, what pass" post was ripe for pan's response. I don't expect you're wearing a set of patented Obama blinders, too?
