You are obsessed with titles and size and so forth. You have some inadequacies from life experiences that cause you to be obsessed with these? Ideas, processes and so forth stand the test of time. The size of the population makes no difference. You either know how to manage money, people, etc. or you don't. Having more of it to mismanage says nothing about your abilities, it just says you were in charge of managing more of it. I've managed operations with 2 people and operations with 200+ people. The fundamentals do not change.

If you can't grasp how the problems facing a city of 5000 (i.e. Possum Trot, Tn) pale in comparison to the problems facing a city of 3 million (Chicago) then we can end our discussion now because it's pointless, you don't posess rudimentary reasoning necessary.

Hmm, well let's see. Running a city of 5,000 involves the things I mentioned. Obama didn't run anything. He was a representative. Advantage Palin. Just because the district Obama represented was larger doesn't mean diddly. He wasn't in charge. He wasn't the guy calling the shots, taking responsibility or blame. He was, and still is, a puppet.

To quote the Illinois.gov website:
The Illinois General Assembly, composed of a 59-member Senate and a 118-member House of Representatives, is responsible for enacting, amending, or repealing laws, passing resolutions, adopting appropriation bills, and conducting inquiries on proposed legislation. It also acts on amendments to the United States Constitution submitted by Congress, proposes amendments to the Illinois Constitution, and takes responsibility for impeachment and conviction of executive and judicial officeholders in the state.

To quote Wiki: A Governor
In the United States, the title governor refers to the chief executive of each state, not directly subordinate to the federal authorities, but the political and ceremonial head of the state.

The United States Constitution preserves the notion that the country is a federation of sovereign states, and that powers not specifically granted to the federal government are retained by the states - states are therefore not merely provinces or subdivisions of federal administration. State governments in the U.S. are therefore relatively powerful; each state has its own independent criminal and civil law codes, and each state manages its internal government.

The governor thus heads the executive branch in each state and, depending on the state, may have considerable control over government budgeting, the power of appointment of many officials (including many judges) and a considerable role in legislation. The governor may also have additional roles, such as that of Commander-in-Chief of the state's National Guard (when not federalized), and in many states the governor has partial or absolute power to commute or pardon a criminal sentence. U.S. Governors serve four-year terms except those in New Hampshire and Vermont, who serve two-year terms.

In all states, the governor is directly elected, and in most cases has considerable practical powers, though this may be moderated by the state legislature and in some cases by other elected executive officials. They can veto state bills. In some cases legislatures can override a gubernatorial veto by a two-thirds vote, in others by three-fifths. In Tennessee and Kentucky, the governor's veto can be overridden by a simple majority vote, making it virtually useless, though they both have a line-item veto. The Governor of North Carolina had no veto power until a 1996 referendum. In most states, whenever there is a sudden vacancy of one of the state's U.S. Senate seats, that state's governor appoints someone to fill the vacancy until a special election is held, although the governors of Oregon, Massachusetts and Alaska no longer have this power.

A state governor may give an annual State of the State Address in order to satisfy a constitutional stipulation that a governor must report annually, or in older constitutions described as being "from time to time," on the state or condition of a U.S. state. Governors of states may also perform ceremonial roles, such as greeting dignitaries, conferring state decorations, issuing symbolic proclamations or attending the state fair. The governor may also have an official residence.

In colonial America, when the governor was the representative of the monarch who exercised executive power, many colonies originally indirectly elected their governors (that is, through assemblies and legislatures), but in the years leading up to the American Revolutionary War, the Crown began to appoint them directly. During the American Revolution, all royal governors were expelled (except one, see Jonathan Trumbull), but the name was retained to denote the new elected official.

Many of the fifty states were, before achieving statehood, territories. Administrated by the federal government, they had governors who were appointed by rather than elected by the resident population.

Tell me again how being a representative is more difficult then being a governor.

It's hiliarious that you accuse me of being obsessed with titles. All I've heard since she was selected as VP is; she's a governor, she's a governor, she's a governor, blah, blah, blah.

Completely ignoring the fact she hasn't held the position for 2 years, is already under an ethics investigation, and her only previous job is part-time mayor of a town of 5000.

I don't think there has been a single post on this board defending her without using the word governor, and then you accuse me of being obsessed with titles :lol:. That's so rich, I'm almost speechless. If only you guys could hear the way you sound.

governor's not a title or certificate to hang on the wall, it's a freaking exec job rife with decisions. Diploma getting is about acceptance and studying.

I assume that the title of GURU does not come with an IQ test.
