By engaging in an attack on Clarence Thomas as having lacked sufficient experience to serve as one of nine justices on the US Supreme Court.

After all, consider Thomas' record at the time of his nomination to the High Court.

By the time he was nominated, Clarence Thomas had worked in the Missouri Attorney General's office, served as an Assistant Secretary of Education, run the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission and sat for a year on the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the nation's second most prominent court.

Oh, and what does Barack Obama have on his resume as he runs to be the President of the United States, with all of its military and foreign affairs responsibilities?

Mr. Obama isn't yet four years out of the Illinois state Senate, has never held a hearing of note of his U.S. Senate subcommittee, and had an unremarkable record as both a "community organizer" and law school lecturer.

And while both Barry Hussein and his wife, Michelle the Perpetually Angry, grew up in rather comfortable middle class environments, Thomas dragged himself up from truly impoverished circumstances to heights that could not have been imagined at the time of his birth. But somehow it is Obama who is the oppressed -- and rather than respecting the accomplishments of Clarence Thomas, he disrespects them in the same fashion that racist Democrats trashed Thurgood Marshall a generation earlier (and let's be honest -- Marshall turned out to be a rather mediocre justice, despite having been the greatest courtroom advocate of the middle third of the twentieth century during his days with the NAACP).

But back to the key point -- if Thomas was insufficiently experienced for the Supreme Court, how can Barack Obama claim to be ready for the White House?
