Most worked in high level positions in Govt, in the military, in Intelligence, as Governors, in the House and then the Senate. Obama was a community organizer and a do nothing Senator for a few years. Totally unqualified.

He was also a Senator from Illinois..........His record in office qualifies him to be re-elected.....averting an economic depression and killing Bin Laden alone make it so........Just think,our debt load would be a lot less if we hadn't had 2 unpaid-for wars,prescription plan for elderly,and unnecessary tax cuts for the wealthiest. At the very least, hundreds of billions could be saved without jeopardizing the nation's security by ending weapons systems designed for an age of conventional warfare. We should shrink the F-35 fleet of stealth fighters. Cut the number of deployed strategic nuclear weapons, ballistic missile submarines and intercontinental ballistic missiles. And take a cleaver to the Navy and Air Force budgets. (Most of the action is with the Army, Marines and Special Forces.) At a time when Medicare, Medicaid, and non-defense discretionary spending (including most programs for the poor, as well as infrastructure and basic R&D) are in serious jeopardy, Obama and the Democrats should be calling for even more defense cuts.
