B-HO the self-licking ice cream cone

B-HO and his lemmings in the MSM have a new claim that the “chosen one” has presidential type experience. The claim runs along this line:

Sure he was a clueless unaccomplished dope smoker and cocaine user that thinks that there are 60 states, Iranians speak Arabic, and that an “a” at the end of a word like Wassila takes a long “e” sound making it Wassilly. Sure until recently, if someone told him that the Russians had invaded Georgia, he’d have called out the Georgia state National Guard. Sure he was listening to an America hating preachers for 20 years, running with an unrepentant domestic terrorist and had a Chicago street thug work out a sweetheart deal and loan rate on his house. But that was all before he began running for president. Running for the office has given him all of the experience he needs to HOLD the office.

This type of circular argument is what we in the Marine Corps used to refer to as a self-licking ice cream cone. It goes like this:

Major X loses $100,000 worth of equipment.
Major X organizes a search party.
Major X finds the equipment.
Major X puts himself in for a Meritorious Service Medal for finding $100,000 of lost equipment.

But there’s a happy ending. Colonel Y rolls the award recommendation up, puts his lighter to it and lights a cigar with it. Col Y puts the burnt remains of the recommendation on Major Y’s desk.

The B-HO story takes pretty much the same route:
A community organizer writes two books about himself.
The community organizer reads his own books and discovers that for all of his advantages of education, he has accomplished nothing, nada, zilch, zero in his life.
The community organizer decides he should run for president to enhance his resume.
The community organizer uses the fact that he’s running for president as a qualification to hold the office.

So using the B-HO’s logic, anyone no matter how stupid and inexperienced, is qualified to be president if they can read a speech off of a teleprompter and find a team of handlers to make them look smart while running for the office.

Will there be a happy ending to this story? I think there will be. But if B-HO doesn’t lose by 15 points it will indicate that there is something seriously wrong here.
