Pompous

Paul at Powerline writes,

By running for president Obama will show plenty of audacity and hope. A serious country would not take his candidacy seriously. This country will.

In other words, this country is not a serious country. At least, not as serious as Paul Mirengoff.

I have to tell ya-- that is just a recipe for getting people to tell ya to pound sand. One can think that attributes other than experience are qualifying, and even necessary. One can think that a candidate offers so much in other areas that are needed at this time. And if one does not take seriously voters who do not share their own opinions on how to judge candidate qualifications, one is not likely to be persuasive to voters.
