Often that is the case however, the presidents have background and history. Note that one of America’s greatest presidents had infantile paralysis The issue of determining the pedigree of those who served as president and the process of vetting them are cruel politics. Let it go don’t be so serious about the American process of becoming president. Many dare propose that Palin have more presidential pedigree than Senator Obama since she is Governor of Alaska and stretch the argument to include her position as commander in chief of the Alaska’s national guard serving in Iraq. We American’s deserve George Bush and we deserve what we get---not that the elections are conducted fairly or all the votes represent the true choice of Americans. Have you ever heard “a mind of your own”? Where did it come from? Was it hard wired in your brain when born? Come on with your cuneiform Let the lady and her kid alone So you say a John Mack clone You get what you deserve Limited from your very birth Harvard graduates infuriate you Constitutional scholars becoming president Can’t evaluate constitutional laws but comment On the likes of men with law degrees and US senators Becoming US presidents---- All of 25 of the 42 were lawyers Only 8 of those 25 were US Senators With to professors or deans of colleges Wilson and Taft were thinkers and elites Who did much for the so-called common man? Taft-Hartley and the laws that followed Now which was a president from journalist Up to the US Congress and then the US senate? Sure you need to vet those who will lead You need to check hopeless rhetoric indeed. This isn’t about doing the right thing Its about striking down the right to reason -------------- Original message from Dave Land <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: --------------
