Clooney could never run..he's banged to many hotties. Obama won essentially because he's a nose to the grindstone clean as a whistle policy wonk and a nerd.
Funny that conservatives shake and quake in their boots over someone like that.
Obama is a "nose to the grindstone" guy? You're kidding, right? Until he got into Columbia and Harvard utilizing Affirmative Action he'd been been the classic stoner slacker for most of his life. He's the only President of the Law Review who never published an article in the Law Review. He got his book deal and a job at a Chicago law firm out of being Pres. of the Law Review and promptly took off for Bora Bora to write it. He voted "present" 129 times while he was a State Senator and passed zero legislation that he had sponsored in his first six years as an State Senator. Then Emile Jones the leader of the black Chicago political machine took Obama under his wing and allowed him to put his name on legislation that other Democrats had worked on for years. When he got to the US Senate the same thing happened...because he was an "up and coming star" of the Democratic Party he was allowed to put his name on legislation that he himself did little to craft. Since his Presidency began he's spent most of his time either flying around the country doing "town hall meetings" or fund raisers. He let Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid craft every piece of legislation in his first term.
Barack Obama is probably the least "nose to the grindstone" guy we've ever had sitting in the Oval Office.
