Unbelievable!

I have a brother who uses the word "Unbelievable" quite a bit. I kid him about it because often times I don't find the thing he finds unbelievable, myself all that unbelievable. It's not that I think I have any particular insight into the world of believability, I've merely chosen to reserve the word unbelievable for things I have at least a little bit of a hard time actually believing. Like the first time I heard Jim Neighbors was a homosexual.
I was about 10 or 11 when my friend Mike told me this, and after he explained to me what a homosexual was, I don't remember what I found more unbelievable: the concept of a man kissing another man, or the concept of Gomer Pyle kissing another man? At the time, I found both these things unbelievable, meaning, I didn't actually believe it. I just figured my friend Mike was making this stuff up, but apparently he wasn't. Which brings me to the point I'd like to share with you this morning:

I find it unbelievable (meaning I really have a hard time believing it) that over 70 million of my fellow countrymen, took a man with no previous leadership experience or responsibility, no previous business experience or responsibility, and no previous experience or responsibility running or managing a business or significant organization of any kind, and literally overnight made him the most powerful person on the planet. I know he was a senator for a brief time, but as far as I know, senators don't really run or manage anything--they primarily vote on stuff. Now, maybe voting on stuff requires a lot more skill and experience than I think it does, but I've never one time in my life heard anyone regard a fellow human being as "a great voter". I don't mean to make light of a senator's responsibility, but the mere act of voting could be performed by most 5 year old kids providing you explained the process to them.
For what it's worth, a little over a year ago I personally checked out then Senator Obama's senate voting record and found that as a United States Senator, he didn't even vote a big part of the time. I found that in and of itself somewhat unbelievable, especially when you consider that the primary criteria most of us would use to assess the performance of our senators, is how they vote.

Now if you're thinking, "Hey Regular Russ, it's not true that our President doesn't have a great deal of experience leading people and running significant organizations, dealing with major financial issues, working with budgets, making military deicions and stuff like that", then show me what I'm missing. I really paid attention during the almost 2 years President Obama was campaigning for the presidency and I don't recall any media source in our nation reporting to us that our current president had any of these previous experiences--not one. If you know that what I've just said is inaccurate, please email me the information and source that shows I'm wrong, because finding out I missed a bunch of news relative to this issue would make me feel a whole lot better about the possibility that our president might actually have a decent idea of how to run the United States of America, fight wars and oversee world affairs. I'm begging you, please share the information with me---I haven't had a good night's sleep in over a year now!
