Empty Heads

OK, I want to know if anybody out there thinks Al Roker is a bonifide weatherman? It turns out he has never taken any courses in anything to do with the weather. All he ever wanted to be was an announcer. So that is what he does. He announces the weather while reading a script from a teleprompter. He really don't know squat about the weather or being a weatherman.

I'm thinking you might see where I am going with this. At least most anyone with an 8th grade education and at least a 2 digit IQ should see this coming.

OK, I want to know if anybody out there thinks Obama is a bonifide president? As it happens everything in the first paragraph applies here too. Yep, we have elected a talking head whose only talent is the ability to read a teleprompter to the highest office in the land.

I guess we deserve it. We let some actor who can't pick out his own clothes, stay sober for seven days in a row, or stay married for over 2 months, tell us what to eat, what to wear, and what to drive. We need to make potential political electees take a SAT test. One where they have no support staff and no props or phone up lifelines. The questions should be based on the kinds of things they are trying to represent and things they might have to govern. You know, basic business things like supply costs, net profits, economic policy...things like that. No pass, no play !! I'm just tired of elected officials with no qualifications other than a plesant voice and the ability to read from a teleprompter have any power over the money that I work for or the life I choose to lead.
