143 The Magical Number?
September 29, 2008 by RBuffordTJ.
Someone recently pointed out to me that in most things, experience counts.
You couldn’t't get a job at McDonald’s and become district manager after 143 days of experience. You couldn’t become chief of surgery after 143 days of experience of being a surgeon. You couldn’t get a job as a teacher and be the superintendent after 143 days of experience. You couldn’t join the military and become a colonel after a 143 days of experience. You couldn’t get a job as a reporter and become the nightly news anchor after 143 days of experience.
BUT….
From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World…. 143 days.
We all have to start somewhere. The senate is a good start, but after 143 days, that’s all it is - a start. AND, strangely, a large sector of the American public is okay with this and campaigning for him. Imagine for a moment you have served in your job for years, trained many employees, lead others, supervised major projects and have been in the line of fire for standing your ground on principal. Then along comes a brand new employee who after 143 days declares he not only wants to advance but expects you and everyone in the office to support him as he moves to the top position above you all. Honestly. Would you? No, and if you answered any other way your not being honest.
We wouldn’t accept this in our own line of work, yet some are okay with this for the President of the United States of America? Come on folks, we are not voting for the next American Idol! Wake up America, you’re being tricked by a Chicago politician with no experience.
Common Sense must rule.
