GTF would sign off as full performance an ATCO with 143 days experience?

Just can't help yourself can you GF ? Open mouth, insert foot.
I was told I'd be an FPL in 2 years and 2 days from being hired. Figure it all up -- the days off, classroom instead of working traffic etc and you'd probably be lucky to get 143 days experience out of it.
Of course, Reagan lied about that too. I was ready (and so were a lot of other people) but the FAA changed the rules and made us all wait another 6 months or so. That was probably the most significant event in controllers deciding to form a new union.
Oh well, it serves you right for trying to make a mountain out of a molehill. Obama was first sworn in on January 4, 2005. That's enough to make people question his level of experience right there. But no, y'all have to go and make up some stupid statistic -- 143 days.
That sends people like me looking for information and I wind up reading things like this:
Senator Obama
In 2008, he was ranked by Congress.org as the eleventh most powerful Senator.
You know me...I just can't help digging through sources.
Power Rankings -- Congress.org
Take a look at who's number 10 -- John McCain. He entered the Senate in 1987. He started in the House in 1982. Takes your pick -- 21 years or 26 years and Obama has nearly caught up to him in -- ahem -- 143 days ?
Oh, and let's not forget that McCain got whooped for President by the guy that will most likely go down in history as the worst President -- ever. And Obama beat the Clintons -- supposedly the best politicians in the country -- on his first try.
What do you think ? Do you think the Kid is ready ? If he was a controller I'd say sign him off. He's ready.
