Stripped of his name, the color of his skin, or his history-making primary win, in a blind, experience-only test, does Mr. Obama possess a resume that is worthy of the Oval Office? This is the real question, and I think it exemplifies what is wrong with this process. I noticed a couple of pundits on TV last night referring to this year as the year journalism died, and that is absolutely true. I liken it to the Enron failure as it relates to the CPA profession, of which I am embarrassed to be a member. Enron was the year the independent CPA died because the CPAs were beyond irreponsible, beyond unethical, beyond incompetent in their actions in the Enron case. Journalists have been beyond irresponsible, unethical, and incompetent in their actions this year. The only "real" journalist I know is one who has practiced his craft with a major newspaper syndicate for many years, and whom I've known for several years. I have NO IDEA where that person stands politically. We've discussed politics some. But he has made it his business to play it straight down the middle. Most of the media have not even made an effort to hide their excitement this year. See the "Too Good to be True" video Steve posted last night. These people ought to be ashamed, just as the CPA profession should have been after Enron.
