Well, that's how low the GOP has sunk that they'd rather be governed by the guy on the street than by the most intelligent and accomplished in our country. In country like France, you could write a list of 50 people, and you would have nearly 100% certainty that one of the 50 people will be the president of France 10 to 20 years later.... If you were to do it in the US, Obama would certainly not be on the list, He would be just one of the people in the Boston phone book....

Well, that's how low the GOP has sunk that they'd rather be governed by the guy on the street than by the most intelligent and accomplished in our country. First, one has to comprehend that the faculty at Harvard is neither the most intelligent nor the most accomplished in the country. I can name people without college degrees who would be far better at running the country than either Obama or Bush. And if accomplishment is one of your goals, how exactly does Obama fit in to the picture. Prior to the presidency and his 2 years in the Senate, the man had accomplished exactly NOTHING. And frankly, he never would have been elected in the first place had he not been black and a good public speaker. Is that "accomplishment"? I think not. If you want to talk about accomplishment I can easily list 100s of accomplished people, none of which Obama can begin to compare with.
