I could go to the board of a major company and tell them that if they make me CEO, I will double profits and create a long term insurmountable competitive advantage. They would probably ask me to provide some proof of my ability to execute these things.
Obama is asking us to believe he can almost walk on water – and the public is asking for proof that he can do so before electing him to the most powerfull position in the world. Not unreasonable. As there is virtually nothing in his past that serves as potential verification, people naturally look at other aspects of his life in order to evaluate his credibility. not doing this would be irresponsible.
