143 days... and a whole lot of ego

Here's an email making the rounds that makes a good point. Running for President is not a qualification for President.

· You couldn't get a job at McDonalds and become district manager after 143 days of experience.

· You couldn't become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon.

· You couldn't get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience.

· You couldn't join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience.

· You couldn't get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.

BUT.....

· 'From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate.

· That's how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.

· After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days?
