Default Mike Ditka: "biggest mistake I ever made" was not running against Obama in 2004

That statement alone indicates how naive the old coach is about politics. By not running, he spared himself an embarrassing defeat.

In fairness to Ditka, he became quite used to being defeated after Buddy Ryan left.

Mike Ditka who pay for your pop tarts and oreos know something you never will.

Ditka = Palin = not ready for prime time politics.

We laughed at Ditka in Chicago when he said he was considering running. Not with him, at him because we knew he had no qualifications for the job.

And your crap about Obama having absolutely no experience prior to running for president is just more rightwing crap. Obama had been elected to the Illinois State Senate, and then re-elected twice, before running for the U.S. Senate. Ditka ... had coached a football team. Yeah, that made him so much more qualified.

Obama was, and still is, well liked in Illinois. I know, the truth sucks when it debunks your talking points, doesn't it?

Maybe, but he's still a lot smarter than Obama.

Hello? Aren't YOU here posting on an obscure message board along with a whole bunch of conservatives?

Tell me ~ where is your job? How can certain posters who claim to own businesses, etc - spend so much time on here? Could they be availing themselves of certain 'entitlements' along with yourself?

Please.
