#1 for all his talents, he is ready to be president

What talents are these, exactly?

#2 He is very talented for a man whose middle name is Hussein.

#4 What talents are these, exactly?

Why, he's very bright and well-spoken, g(r)omgoru. He has beautiful teeth and equally beautiful thousand dollar suits, paid for by the beautifully compensated law careers of his wife and himself...and his terribly interesting friends. I'm afraid nothing more comes to mind at the moment, but no doubt it will, shortly.

#5 Trailing,
Those may be his only talents, but they are very important talents, whether we like it or not.

#6 He also is quite smart, and a trained constitutional lawyer.

Id say hed make an excellent Attorney General. Maybe VP in 2012.

#7 he's a crypto-commie - should not be allowed anywhere near the Constitution.

#8 Im old fashioned, to me commie means believing in abolishing private property, nationalizing the means of production, and a dictatorship of the proletariat. SF liberals pushing their particular view of the 2nd amendment may not be nice, but its not communism. I admit, Im odd that way.

#9 Does it possibly come under the guise of cultural Marxism, LH?

#10 Menhaden Snogum is onto something, TW. This has been the Repubs' problem for a long time now.

I don't like that it's true, and I yearn for a time when it won't be. But in a time in history when the much of the human race cannot maturely or intelligently filter through the deceptions of mass media, having the best ideas isn't enough. Excellent communication - and communicators - with charisma are necessary to get your point across, nearly as much as good ideas.

If I ever needed proof that humans are flawed, this issue is it.

#11 I'll grant you that he's smart and a trained constitutional lawyer. And sure, he can whip a crowd up into a frenzy. Other than that, I don't see why or how he would make a good President or VP.

#13 abolishing private property??

U of IL professor just wrote a book, it's for the common good.............

And the unelected 9 kings ruled private property can be taken and given to our overseers to give to their rich RE developer friends........

#14 Why, he's very bright and well-spoken, g(r)omgoru.

Oh come on. He's a lousy debater---did he ever actually practice law, made court appearances?

#15 I'm with gr'om on this one.

#16 I'll disagree. He's perfectly capable of heading some Diversity Outreach fiefdom in Chicago's City Org. Past that? Over his head. By the way, let the wife screech some more. I like that
