While Obama has certainly held some fancy and prestigious titles, what has he actually done? What is the record of his accomplishments in these various positions?

Which one of his titles is only "fancy and prestigious"?

If you truly want the answers, look them up. They are well documented. Just because you don't believe them or consider them relevant doesn't mean they don't exist.

Of course, if one believes that lawyers are automatically smarter than other people, then I guess it matters that Ms Palin didn't get a law degree.

Nowhere did I say that. I compared their education background in response to the assertion that her background was deeper, more substantive. That having been said, my hat is off to anybody who graduates magna cum laude from Harvard Law. Is that one of your fancy and prestigious titles?

Of course, her life story isn't one of seeking national office, so perhaps she didn't feel it was necessary to get one.

Assuming your are correct, that Obama's life story is one of seeking national office, what exactly is wrong with that? And what better educational preparation for that?

It's somewhat interesting that you seem to feel that actually working for a living, is somehow inferior preperation for office, than an advanced law degree.

Where did I say that, or even remotely insinuate such a thing? Nowhere. The comparative information was sourced, verify yourself if you want, it wasn't opinion. I compared their backgrounds and asked how that makes her more qualified or suited to such a high office than Obama - contentions that you folks have made - and I specifically said I was not impuning her accomplishments.

And while much is made of the size of Wasilla, what is conveniently left out is that in 1980 the population was only 1,600. In other words, while small in actual size, it was going through a period of rapid growth, and all the problems that are inherent in such growth. And, as I mentioned before, I was living in Alaska at that time, and was aware of the issues surrounding the growth in Wasilla and the entire Mat-Su Valley.

I'm sure she did a wonderful job, but we have subdivisions here with more than 1600 people.

What though is the legacy of each? What, as I've asked before, are Obama's actual accomplishments? And how do those stack up against Palin's record?

I copied and pasted a summary of their records and accomplishments, even said fill in anything I missed. Dismiss and ignore his accomlishments if you like, that doesn't render them non-existent.

Even with only 20 months as governor, Palin has more Executive experience than Obama, Biden, and McCain put together. But anyone who is truely interested can look up the actual accomplishments of either one.

Obama, Biden, McCain are legislators. Palin, as a Governor, held an Executive position. If you're saying that she's held an executive office longer than the other three, then technically, that's correct.

To suggest that translates to more executive experience than the other three combined is just plain silly.
