You can't compare MLK to Obama...not even close. But you are right, it the context of accomplishments, community organizer doesn't compare to mayor/govenor

get off of Obama's jock

haha MLK, another fantasy lib

Did MLK speak from a teleprompter

MLK was a great man, but was he qualified to be president?

egj13 · « **Reply #4 on:** September 04, 2008, 03:03:50 PM »

and I don't know if I would brag on Obama's record as a community organizer. There were more violent deaths in Chicago last year than in Iraq.

I didn't know the role of community organizer was to stop violent deaths.

To raise money from bakes sales and car washes to get the local boys football team new jerseys.

Obama did it for 3 years after college.

He also served 11 year in state and national senates.

a distiguished period of time in which he voted "present" 130+ times..guess the decisions were above his pay grade...and you really shouldn't count his US senate time...he has done nothing but campaign.

Look I am not a McCain fan...and sure he voted with Bush 90% of the time....but Obama voted (the few times he actually did) the Dem line 100% of the time.

Tell me which one is true change from the usual washington ways?

Would have been the best we've ever had...by far.

As I stated previously, the Civil Rights Movement, as well as the Woman's Suffrage Movement...these are both the result of grassroots community organizers. Those were the people that did the hard work and made sacrifices for little to no pay and virtually no recognition.

So foreign policy experience isn't a factor?

Cardfan · « **Reply #13 on:** September 04, 2008, 03:52:11 PM »

I'm asking if you think it is for anyone. MLK obviously didn't have any and you say he would've been the best pres. ever.

Yes, yes I do believe MLK would have been the best president ever. And no, he did not need foreign policy experience.

Is there anyone in today's presidential race with zero foriegn policy experience that you are comparing to MLK?

Cardfan · « **Reply #15 on:** September 04, 2008, 04:06:46 PM »

That's been the theme today. Try to keep up. Libs have bashed Plalin (she's just the vp candidate in case you don't know) on her experience. Evidently you don't think this is relevant. I believe it is but have faith she'll get up to speed quickly.

You should step back for a minute and read your posts. Palin has got you liberals spewing venom. She's definitely in y'alls heads.

it disgusts me that this 'man' has a holiday in his name. what a sad country this is.

Cardfan · « **Reply #17 on:** September 04, 2008, 04:59:46 PM »

I gotta disagree. MLK=great. But he had no foreign policy experience, and that's my point. If the libs think he would've been a great pres. then what is the problem with Palin. She's running for VP by the way.

WAKE UP CALL... OBAMA ISN'T MLK!!!

TO MAKE THIS PARALLEL IS TO CLAIM HE CHEATED ON HIS WIFE LIKE MLK DID. JUST BLAME THE CIA, RIGHT?

I think that what not a wise move from the writer. For one, you pissed of anyone who did that job and their moms/family etc.

For two, she neglected to mention his time as a law professor and lawyer etc.

Finally, not like I am some lawyer, but with a career background as a fisherwoman, housewife and local sportsreader I'd lay off talking about others jobs. Someone like Romney or even McCain could have swung that no problem.

There is absolutely NO COMPARISON WHATSOEVER between MLK, Jr. and Obama. MLK, Jr.'s cause was much more impacting that what Obama could ever dream of.

Sorry what did this do for my country? A professor that was far left, like 82% of the usual college professors, plus a civil rights lawyer that tries to rewrite the Constitution when in court. No thanks. She was right, that is why she is stomping the ground with Obama, and why the GOP is leaping up so high. Her previous jobs as Mayor, and Gov. give her a whole host of more experience than Obama. Obam dealt with daily "things" she dealt with debts, budgets, problems, corruption.

I am comparing past jobs. Like Obama, she did 'regular' work before going into office. What is being a housewife, fishing and reading some hockey scores on TV doing for the country? Nothing. Neither do many jobs so no diss. Mine doesn't for sure.
