A distinguished law career/ scholar/ politician (which are all debatable for Obama) does not necessarily make a good president.
True enough, but to boil his qualifications down to 'simple community organizer' and to cast doubt on his intelligence is contrary to reality. In fact he has demonstrated himself intelligent and a high achiever, in circumstances that require a lot of both in order to be a sucess among success.
This is worse than saying Palin wasn't even qualified to be a simple high school cheerleader - worse on so many levels....
It is another matter entirely whether or not he is a good president, or whether he may have benefited from another decade of Washington experience. The latter I would think the tea baggers and other anti-Washington folk would say, 'no he would not have benefitted from another 10 years in Washington,' but then it's useless to expect any consistency from that quarter.
And no, Obama is not perfect, and so far he has dissappointed many of his adherents.
