Does Obama's Executive Experience as a Community Organizer with William Ayers Qualify him for President?

Just about as much as anything else he's done.

Does finishing near the bottom of the Naval academy and never holding a private sector job qualify your man Mccain the Presidency? The man never even flipped Burgers at Mickey D;s for goodness sakes

It was fascinating to see the top Republicans struggle with the concept of community organizers this week. After all, these people would never turn to a community organizer. When they have a problem they just call one of the politicians they own.

Suppose they own an oil company and want higher profits. They just call the Bush White House or their friends in Congress and ask for more tax breaks. Suppose they run Halliburton or Blackwater. They call over to the White House or their friends in Congress to get some sweetheart no-bid contracts. Do you think the top executives in major corporations have any use for a community organizer?

The list goes on. If you're an investment bank that is essentially bankrupt, you call over to the Fed and get special below market loans and a public guarantee to your creditors that they will cover their losses in the event you go under. There's nothing like a guarantee from Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke to maintain confidence in your bank.

If you're a nuclear power company, you arrange for the boys and girls in Congress to have the government provide you insurance in the event that your plant causes a catastrophe. And, if you're just a regular old rich person who wants more money in the bank, you call over to Senator McCain and tell him that you want him to give you some big tax breaks.

None of these people could ever imagine getting help from a community organizer. The top Republicans live in a world where they already own top politicians who will jump to do their bidding. They can't even conceive of the situation of an ordinary homeowner who might need help in getting the city to fix their street, to close down a crack house, or to improve their neighborhood schools.

The Republicans have lobbyists who take care of these things for them. In the world where people can't remember how many homes they own, no one can imagine needing a community organizer to help them press their case with city hall. These people already own city hall. In McCain's world, real Americans own their members of Congress, the people who might need the help of a community organizer to press their case are just a bunch of whiners.

Obama was a member of the woods foundation board as was ayers for a period of 1 year together. There were over 20 members on the board made of of prominent local people and they foundation got grants for schools to help better education of local children.

Your slanders are ridiculous.

Abraham Lincoln had never held any executive office before becoming President. However, the constitution merely requires you to be 35 or older, and born in the USA. (Actually, McCain wasn't born in the US, but he was born at a military camp in Panama, so we're going to count that as part of America for now).

lmao he wasnt down in the trenches with william ayers.........he worked for an organization that helped the homless......that was like 6 degrees related to ayers.

No. For the hundredth time.

He thinks it does, but the American people see through B-HO.

No but it does however qualify him to be a convicted felon
