For the past several months Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton have been locked in a death struggle that involves trying to convince the American people which one of them is qualified to be the President when some anonymous phone rings at 3 AM. While I will happily concede that both of these politicians are perfectly qualified to answer a phone, neither has the background, experience, or cognitive abilities to be the President for the other 23 hours and 59 minutes of the day.

 

After doing some checking on a number of job sites to see what corporate America is looking for when they hire an executive, oddly enough the words “looking for the spouse of a CEO to lead our company into the future” or “experience as a community organizer desired” did not appear in any of the calls for an executive or even middle management. Here are some examples of the ads I found:

 

This one is for an executive director in the health care industry:

 

Qualifications: The Forum Director should have extensive experience in a scientific, health care, health services or health care policy field related to HIV/AIDS. The Director should have substantial knowledge about HIV/AIDS research and drug development. The Director should also have significant administrative and managerial experience in a government, other non-profit or private entity setting that would demonstrate ability to manage an office staff, finances and organizational activities. The Director should possess a post-graduate degree, or have other substantially equivalent training that is relevant to HIV/AIDS.

 

This HMO doesn’t seem to be looking for a community organizer:

 

Requirements include a bachelors degree or equivalent work experience, along with 10 or more years of technology experience, information architecture experience, and managing IT resources and architects. Masters degree in a relevant discipline is preferred. Five years of data/information modeling experience is required. Five years experience defining various data/information ontologies also required. Experience architecting, designing, and implementing data warehouses, data marts, OLTPs, ODSs, etc., on mainframes and mid-range and PC-based systems; proven experience innovating information architecture solutions; end to end program management delivery experience; and extensive experience in client relationship management are all essential. Documented history of on-time, on-budget delivery is a must, as is a proven track record of implementing and actively managing fundamental information architecture frameworks, methodologies, and architectures.

 

Even the entertainment industry, where a casting couch is a mandatory piece of office furniture, having slept with an executive isn’t a qualification. This ad is asking for an Executive Director, Creative Services. On the surface, staying awake through a three martini lunch would seem to be an excellent resume item, but oddly enough, they are looking for people with over a decade’s experience:

 

Bachelor’s degree or equivalent preferred. Minimum of eight to ten years' experience in the areas Of On-air Promotion and Marketing, in a leadership role; and/or equivalent education and experience. Minimum of seven years’ supervisory experience. Experience in Cable TV, Programming or Broadcast Satellite services desired.

 

In short, for jobs that compare in scope to the Presidency of the United States about as well as Gary Coleman stacks up to Andre the Giant, most people want someone with actual experience. Imagine that. Either corporate America knows something that the Democrats don’t about who should be running large organizations or the corporate sector isn’t being diverse enough in their search for a leader.

 

Neither of the two top Democrats has ever run anything. Hillary’s only experience with grasping hold of the helm of power resulted in Chelsea. Barack’s background as a “community organizer” combined with his inner circle of anti-white racists and former, unapologetic terrorists like William Ayers may qualify him to put out the punch and cookies at the next Black Panther meeting, or to sit on his church board, but not run the United States of America.

 

To be fair, John McCain’s resume is paper thin when it comes to executive experience as well. Fortunately for him one of the primary functions of the President of the Untied States is as the Commander and Chief of the military. The last time we had a Clinton in office, the most successful ground campaign they managed to wage was against the Branch Davidians in Waco. While this was a decisive battle, unlike the Clinton Mogadishu debacle, the reality is that when you pit your tanks against women and children whose most devastating weapon is probably a Barney lunchbox, you’re probably going to win that encounter. Strangely enough, this offensive won’t go down in the annals of American history with Gettysburg or D-Day.

 

Obama’s military experience seems restricted to the fact that he has heard we have a military and wants to bomb our ally Pakistan. Even though his military experience is the most anemic part of an already wafer thin resume, there are a few things in about him that suggest he cannot be trusted in the war on terror.

 

Let’s start with his associations. Obama seems to prefer the company of terrorists. William Ayers is a domestic terrorist from the Vietnam era who was intent on killing as many American soldiers as possible here at home. Ayers’s Weather Underground was basically incompetent and wound up blowing up more of their own people then anyone else during their terror assaults, but they did manage to plant a bomb at the Pentagon and killed two police officers and a security guard during an armored car robbery. This is a man that Barack Obama calls a friend.

 

Add to this the fact that one of Barack grudgingly fired a campaign advisor when it came out that this person was involved in talks with Hamas; a group that fully endorses the Obama campaign, and you have a presidential candidate that would be rejected for a security clearance.

 

Barack also seems to have a set of pretty impressive blinders on when it comes to recognizing threats. Chicago is a city under siege when it comes to gang activity, but Obama voted against legislation that would expand the death penalty to gang related murders. Presumably coming down hard on gangs would cut into his core constituency. I wonder how the families of Tamika Harris who was shot shielding her daughter from gun fire and Mike Boyd who was beaten to death by gang members with bricks feel about his softness on these domestic terrorists.

 

I would be willing to bet that ties to the Black Panthers and Nation of Islam will be discovered before the campaign is done. Obama’s only response when these legitimate concerns about his associations are raised is that those bringing these issues to light are engaged in “dirty politics”. Obama is a man who hobnobs with terrorists, is endorsed by Hamas, and chooses to learn morals and values from a racist, Farrakhan loving, pastor. Is this a guy who you want you picking Supreme Court justices and cabinet members while we are still at risk from terrorists?

 

McCain may not be qualified when it comes the executive duties of the President, and leans to the left on a ton of issues, but the torture he endured for the sake of his country has rendered him physically incapable of doing the wave or giving a high five. At least you know he can be trusted to do the right things to keep the country safe.

 

Neither Hillary nor Obama have anything in their background that suggests they are qualified to be President. Actually neither of them has enough managerial experience to get a job as a Taco Bell manager. Ironically somebody who runs a shift at a fast food restaurant is legitimately more qualified to be President then either of the two flaming nincompoops that the Democrats call their candidates.
