re: #129 Charles

So, he can campaign well. He was the beneficiary of some great luck as well. Between 1989 and 2007 what exactly did he accomplish that could set him apart from any of his peers? After Harvard, did he clerk for any of prestigious judges or justices? Oh yes, he became a Community Organizer. Don’t need a Harvard Law degree for that. Did he toil in the very competitive world of corporate or criminal law? Nope. Did he serve and distinguish himself in any of major departments of the Executive Branch (ie Justice or the FBI?). Nope. Did he write anything in any of the major law reviews that anyone is aware of? Nope. Funny how his wasted whatever talents and education he received at Harvard. No, the President went straight into the Community Organizer field and ingratiated himself with the infamous Cook County political machine. Without this machine there is no way he would have gotten his seat in the Illinois State House, or got the Democratic nod for the vacant US Senate seat.
