I respect Sen. Obama and his accomplishments.
WHAT accomplishments? What has he done to earn my respect?
Being a Senator does not automatically qualify him for my respect. Too many scumbags from both parties hold and have held that title. For that matter, McVain's actions as a senator have done nothing to increase my regard for him. And of course Barry holds that title because he was handpicked by one of the most corrupt political machines in the country.
He's a lawyer that held the equivalent of the High School Yearbook Editor's position at an Ivy league school. Big freakin' whoop.
With all due respect to our members who are lawyers (and my friends in the "real" world), but I respect, like and listen to you in spite of that degree, not because of it. What really earns my respect are those that join that profession and don't become money/power hungry slime. Or politicians (but I repeat myself)
Getting a law degree doesn't mean much to me considering the low lifes, scumbags and outright traitors that have done the same, and I certainly don't consider it any more of an accomplishment than any other graduate degree, and much less of one than a degree in a field such as medicine, engineering, or one of the real sciences.
I wish The "Republican" candidate would show half as much concern about respecting the US Constitution and the voters he hopes to put him in office as he does about not hurting the feelings of Obama, the media, and Obamabots (there I go repeating myself again).
...even before I read MHI, my response to seeing a poster for the stars of the latest Twilight movies was "I see 2 targets and a collaborator".
