Huh? According to Wikpedia, "The framers of the Constitution had extensive political experience. By 1787, four-fifths (41 individuals), were or had been members of the Continental Congress. Nearly all of the 55 delegates had experience in colonial and state government, and the majority had held county and local offices.[7]"
"The eminent American historian Richard B. Morris, in his 1973 book Seven Who Shaped Our Destiny: The Founding Fathers as Revolutionaries, identified the following seven figures as the key founding fathers: Benjamin Franklin, George Washington, John Adams, Thomas Jefferson, John Jay, James Madison, and Alexander Hamilton.[3]
Feel free to point out which of the founding fathers had a resume that most closely resembled Obama's...
BTW- Do not bring up the similarity between Hitler's community organizing and memoirs before he came to power because he wasn't one of our founding fathers or presidents.
