Did McCain get any honors for graduating 894 out of 899 at the Naval Academy ?
No, my "bad" was thinking someone with left/liberal thinking could ever review any case logically and without bias.
I'm willing to cede the point that Obama is not to blame if Bush is equally faultless for a similar Presidential err. I'm willing to meet half way on it. You aren't.
You can't even budge one single inch with the idea that you -might- just...might not be looking at it fairly.
This is the case with all of your posts.
Only someone who hasn't accomplished much in life would be all that impressed with Obama's resume. I'm not sure why anyone cares, what matters is what he is doing now.
As Yannis alluded to, smart people are typically more introverted doers, not talkers. There comes the paradox, good public leaders need speaking ability and some depth of smarts. Rare indeed
After much observation on him, it is clear Obama is simply an actor. He is the just front man for all the leftists who have filled him with their essense

No, you simply prefer your broad brush when it suits your purpose. As I said, your "bad" is that you did not even take the time to absorb the point of my earlier post. Apples and oranges are both fruit, right? So they must be the same, right?
Read it again for the first time (color-coded for your convenience):
You've earned yourself a rare spot on my ignore list. (you're just the 2nd in my 9 years here) I don't have time for idiots which is why I've little time for this pitiful website.
"Biggest death toll from a natural disaster"? Katrina? You're kidding me, right?
"One of the worse economies in this country's history". Once again, you're kidding. Good one! Yes, 2008 was a regular "Great Depression". Stocks almost made 5 year lows! Bush unemployment soared to 8%!! Wow!! Calamity!!
"The United States attacking and overthrowing a government that did not attack the US". Just like Germany, Korea, Vietnam all attacked the U.S. too, eh?
Biggest deficit spender? You may want to redo your math because Obama will spend more than Bush in just 2.5 fiscal years and that's with a chunk of the "stimulus deficit" falling into the Bush column.

Quote from ..........:
You are beyond help
1.Biggest terrorist attack in this country's history,Happened under Bush.He had advanced warning of attack
2.Biggest death toll from a natural disaster in this country's history,Happened under Bush.Like 9-11,Bush had advance warning of Katrina
3.One of the worse economies in this country's history ...Happened under Bush
4.The United States attacking and overthrowing a government that did not attack the US,nor threatened the US...Happened under Bush
5.The biggest deficit spender and added the most to the national debt in presidential history...Dubya Bush
8 years in office and only created 3 million jobs,Clinton created 23 million
What are the odds of the worse foreign policy mistake,the worse terrorist attack,one of the worse economies,the worse natural disaster by death toll and the worse US financial mismanagement all happening under 1 President ??????
John Wooden died, he was a good leader. Granted basketball is far easier than politics, he is though a smart guy who could also lead on his level. I see understanding and humility, that's how I formed my opinion. You just don't see this from Obama, and he is supposed to be some sort of Harvard intellectual giant. Although I could dispute almost all, they are still pretty good thoughts from a basketball coach
Wooden quotes:
"Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out." (pretty much the opposite of the victimization philiosophy of liberals)
"Never mistake activity for achievement." (Obama will never understand this one, he has been a student or politician his whole life. Exhibit A- his thinking that medicare is economic stimulus)
"Adversity is the state in which man mostly easily becomes acquainted with himself, being especially free of admirers then."
"Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are." yeah right, try telling that to the narcissist
"Be prepared and be honest." like maybe actually reading the health care bill, or the Arizona law??
"You can't let praise or criticism get to you. It's a weakness to get caught up in either one."
"You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."
"I'd rather have a lot of talent and a little experience than a lot of experience and a little talent."
"If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?"
"If you're not making mistakes, then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes." (but making dumb mistakes is not progress, signing laws is not 'doing' anyway)
"It isn't what you do, but how you do it." (I don't agree)
"Ability is a poor man's wealth."
"Failure is not fatal, but failure to change might be."
"Don't measure yourself by what you have accomplished, but by what you should have accomplished with your ability."
"It's what you learn after you know it all that counts."
"It's the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen."
"Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful."
"Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts."
