My wife teaches Sunday school at a reformist synagogue in Highland Park. She said half the parents already have Obama stickers and kids are already talking of Obama for president.

Idiocy.

HAMPTON, Va. (AP) - Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama said Tuesday that the Bush administration has done nothing to defuse a "quiet riot" among blacks that threatens to erupt just as riots in Los Angeles did 15 years ago.

His star is fading so time to ignite some race wars. Too bad the majority of the African American community (and leadership) is still with Hillary. Sorry Hussein.

Given his BCG/Bain Background I'm not so sure I'd want someone steeped in merciless ruthless Darwinism. Having worked for a few of their competitors I can tell you Bain is the bluest of the blueblood management consulting firms. Those guys give Darth Vader a run for his money.

Although he was instrumental in bringing in Orit Gadiesh to run Bain when it crashed on the rocks a few years back.

On Sunday March 11, 2007 at West Middle School in Muscatine, IA, Barack Obama said: "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people."

Many more are dying in Iraq and Darfur. Arafat could have accepted Barak's offer at Camp David or the more generous offer made at Taba, but he preferred to launch the Al Aqsa Intifada.

I don't want a president that is that ignorant of the world. I am supporting Bill Richardson because of his experience at the UN, in the Department off Energy, and in governing New Mexico.

Never forget that Chicago and Illinois are run by very powerful Democrats. Obama's credentials have been propped up by that machine.

Obama is the candidate of the people who know almost nothing about how government operates but think the presidency is some sort of prize given to the person with the best award winning personality.

Well, why not. We had "Best used car salesman to share a beer with" Clinton and "Nicest Elder of the First Church of Conservative Protestantism" Bush elected. Candidates are sculpted and sold by competing teams who want pliable bodies in office.

I wouldn't think twice before voting Clinton or Edwards or Richardson or a lot of people people instead of Obama.

We should demand that candidates for President be able to pass aptitude, organization, leadership, analysis, implementation, mental stability and logic skills prior to being able to run for President.

We all wonder why the US educational system, health care system, criminal system, drug war, overcrowding, pollution, food safety, child care system, etc., have fallen into such disrepair.

It's because we don't have any significant requirements for our political leaders. In business, one usually has to prove their worth before getting hired. Not in politics. In politics, incompetent leaders or destructive personalities like Hitler and Chavez can get elected.

I would fear for the safety of the US and the rest of the free world if someone like Clinton or Edwards or Richardson or Obama became President.
