What?? Why He Won't Run For President?
Flashback 2004: Newly elected Sen. Barack Obama, explaining why he won't run for president in 2008."I am a believer in knowing what you're doing when you apply for a job. Uh, and I think that if I were to seriously consider running on a national ticket I would essentially have to start now, before having served a day in the senate. Now, there's some people who might be comfortable doing that, uh, but I'm not one of those people." (See it here.)Obama has missed 248 votes (44.8%) in the current Congress, from January 2007 through June 2008. So, the question is, between starting his first job working in federal government on January 3, 2005, and essentially abandoning his duties as senator in January 2007 to "apply for a job" as President of the United States, where's the evidence that he "knows what he's doing?"
below is a summary of the presidential candidates:
Congress Military
John McCain 26 years 22 years
Barrack Obama 143 days 0 years
