Surely by now even leftists can see that Bush, the Harvard MBA, jet pilot, baseball club president, and two-term governor of a prosperous state, was a reasonably competent manager compared to the community organizer whose only real credential is that he had two autobiographies.
George W. Bush, William Jefferson Clinton, Barack H. Obama, and Hillary R* Clinton all fit the bill nicely (albeit with a little more qualification with the first two). The publicity agents have taken over the republic.
I’ve found that,other than age and residency requirements,there are really no hard (or soft) educational or occupational requirements to run for any political office. Anywhere.
Illiterate wingnuts. I said George H. W. Bush. A pol elected president on the strength of a resume where he simply got his ticket punched in job after job and accomplished very little. Of course he looks like a genius now compared to the wreckage left behind by his idiot son, George W. Bush.
I’m not sure if your statement is serious, but they’re referring to Barack Obama, whose most well-known actual activity before POTUS was as a community activist in the Chicago area.

We’ve done this to ourselves. We have put the election and democratic processes up for sale. These are the rewards.

Empty resume full of job titles? Why are they making fun of George H. W. Bush?

Anyone with money and charisma can run, and sometimes they get elected.
