MEDIOCRITY OR MERITOCRACY - AMERICA WHO WILL YOU HIRE?

As an employer recruiting a staffer for that opening in your firm, after perusing these resumes who would you rather hire to run your company? A mediocre candidate who hardly crossed the finish line or some Ace scholars who have been certified as highly trained and qualified for the positions? Now meet candidate Barack Obama and John McCain who are now applying to you to hire them for the soon to be open position in the presidency of America of which you are a director. Also both candidates have brought along their deputies who will assist them do the prospective job.

Now let us review both candidates resume` for the job of the presidency which they are applying for now. Starting with the Democratic presidential candidate Senator Barack Obama and his running mate Senator Joe Biden and then Republican presidential candidate Senator John McCain and his running mate, Sarah Palin!

Candidate Barack Obama: - Barack Obama attended two years of college at Occidental College los Angeles, Califronia. Then he went to Columbia University where he obtained his Bachelor of Arts (B.A.) in Political Science with a specialization in International Relations. He also went to Harvard Law School where he obtained Juris Doctor (J.D.) in Law with Magna Cum Laude!

Vice Presidential candidate Joe Biden: - Barack Obama's running mate Senator Joe Biden attended University of Delaware where he obtained double Bachelors of Arts (B.A.) degree in History and Political Science. Joe Biden later proceeded to Syracuse University College of Law where he obtained Juris Doctor (J.D.) in Law!

Candidate John McCain: - John McCain attended United States Naval Academy and ranked 894 out of 899 in his class. In other words Senator John McCain was only better than five (5) people in a class of eight hundred and ninety-nine (899) students. That makes Senator John McCain not even a bright bulb in the chandlier.

Vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin: - John McCain's running mate Sarah Palin spent one (1) semester at Hawaii Pacific University; then two semesters (2) at North Idaho College doing general studies; she further spent another two (2) semesters at University of Idaho studying journalism; then transferred to Matanuska-Susitna College where she spent one (1) more semester before returning back to University of Idaho where she completed three semesters to finally obtain a Bachelors of Arts (B.A.) in Journalism.

To summarize, whereas Barack Obama and Joe Biden have advanced degrees in Law (J.D.) with undergraduate studies in political science, effectively groomed for the office for which they seek; the reverse is the case with John McCain and Sarah Palin. Senator John McCain barely made it through his naval class coming out bottom 6 in a class of 899; his running mate Sarah Palin went through four schools before she could obtain a bachelors degree in Journalism. Whether she was cutting classes or being expelled or brain-dead Icheoku is yet to confirm but suffice it to reiterate a popular aphorism that "when you are that pretty who needs a head"

America this is yet another call of duty for you to once agin decide who will preside over the affairs of this great nation. America will you get it right or make another grave mistake that we make these past eight years seem like eldorado? America do you want someone well prepared and equipped for the job or will you settle for yet another half baked, academically challenged individuals. Before you make that leap of faith, please introspect on these past eight years of George Walker Bush administration and ask yourself why was it a failure? Icheoku says "it failed because George Bush like John McCain is an academically challenged person who also came amongst the bottom of his class and hence lacks the capacity to think, analyse and absorb complex issues of state.

Now that you have been let in on the prowess or potentials of both candidates, the decision is yours to make! As a employer which of these resumes` will draw your attention and who would you rather hire trusting that he can deliver? Icheoku says that Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden are better prepared and more qualified for this very job of the land and should therefore be hired to do the said job. Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Bide will be better president and vice president of this country - the United States of America. As for John McCain and Sarah Palin, these stragglers are mediocre, ill-equipped for the challenges of the office and therefore should be rejected.

If you are satisfied with George Bush's performance then blindly follow McCain. If you will like more of the same, then McCain is your candidate. Peradventure you are a discerning voter who makes use of his/her head instead, so vote wisely for the only one candidate who should receive your vote this election cycle - Senator Barack Obama. Barack Obama is the real deal in this election and he will deliver. His change is the change we can believe in and he gives us hope on a new beginning! There is no single reason to vote for John McCain other than his being a war hero which we have since acknowledged. The presidency of the United States of America demands more than just gun-powder and cannons; it demands some modicum of intelligence and knowledge. It also demands cool-breeze temperament which John McCain also lacks. It also demands rational actions to which Icheoku says that John McCain's notorious rashness and jumpiness is a widely held knowledge. Look at how he hastily fell for the Alaskans beauty queen wanna-be Sarah Palin without vetting her properly! America please do not back the wrong horse in this election - DO NOT VOTE for Senator John McCain! He cannot meet the challenges of the present times. Icheoku once again affirms Senator Hillary Clinton's war cry: - No Way! No How! No McCain! No Palin!
