Jewish World Review April 16, 2012/ 24 Nissan, 5772 Barack : A jack of all trades By Dave Weinbaum

People who can do a lot of things
effectively at the same time are rare and
far between. Bo Jackson, Federal Judge
Duane Benton and Deon Sanders come
to mind. We all know about the multi
sports and talents Jackson and Sanders
had.
Judge Benton comes to mind as an
adequate comparison to our amazingly
talented President.
Man with many hats has no time to hang head
I was assigned to introduce Duane at a political conference about fifteen years ago
along with now deceased Missouri Governor Mel Carnahan. Upon receiving their
resumes, I realized that I would have to cut out 75% of Duane's and add that same
75% to the Governor's.
Duane was a lawyer, CPA, Phi Beta Kappa, Vietnam Vet, Yale Law Review,
Naval Reservist. He was campaign manager for Mel Blunt's House campaign, an
MBA and Summa Cum Laude. Duane earned degrees from Northwestern, Yale,
Memphis State and the University of Virginia, college law professor, Navy Judge
Advocate, Director of the MO Department of Revenue, MO circuit judge, MO
Supreme Court Judge, Chief Judge of the MO Supreme Court, Federal Appellate
Judge, appointed by President George W. Bush.
As I rattled off his accomplishments parodying a Bo Jackson commercial: "Duane
knows law, Duane knows, politics, Duane knows military…," I pointed out the longest
job Duane had ever held was the six years he had been when he served as my
attorney. Benton rudely interrupting, yelled, "Weinbaum, I would still be your lawyer
if you'd only paid me." Shocked by his impertinence, I replied, "And I WOULD
have paid you if you'd ever won a case…"
Unlike Benton, our president seems to be practicing in a lot of areas he has no or little
experience at.
Positive before the negative, here are President Overreach's main self-attributes:
That depends on how many children Barack and Michelle planned. The same would
hold true for a pregnancy from his daughters. Obama as quoted: "I wouldn't want
Sasha or Malia punished with a baby." The likelihood of Treyvon surviving til
birth would be unlikely in these scenarios. In my opinion, that should be a hate
crime: profiling of a minority, a baby. It could have its own acronym: KLU (as in
without one) — Killed While Laying in the Uterus.
Further, one wonders what will happen if Obamacare is derailed by the Supremes.
Will El Presidente, Obama start a power battle to overthrow the Supremes, in
effect making him the tenth and Chief Justice?
You better believe, if he thought he could get away with it, Barack Hussein Obama
would assume Congressional and judicial power as fast as you can say,
"unconstitutional!"
President Obama, I know Judge Duane Benton. Judge Benton is a friend of mine.
You are no Judge Benton!
