I'm not ageist. Some argue that McCain is too old, I don't agree. Being young is also not a negative but it's one thing to be young and another to be unqualified. Wouldn't you agree you need to have some decent 'industry related experience' to take up the world's top political position? Look what's happened to MBA's (as a pretty simple analogy
). Used to be you had to have 10 plus years of work behind you, now any 23 with a fat wallet can get in. The result, all but a few MBAs from the best schools are taken seriously. Do we want the US president to lack the same credibility in the eyes of the world?
Mat I agree. I look at which books Oprah endorses then make sure I don't read them. (did she endorse The Road? If so I'll make an exception for that book).
Now I can add Presidential candidates supported by O to my list of what to avoid.
