After electing Bush twice,why are Republicans so concerned about experience. ?

Question

Here's a quick comparison between the experience of Barack Obama and that of George Bush

Obama:

Graduate of Columbia University and Harvard Law School where he served as president of the Harvard Law Review

Practiced law as a civil rights attorney

Served as Illinois State Senator from 1997 to 2004

Taught constitutional law at the Univ. of Chicago from 1992 to 2004

Served as U. S. Senator from 2004 until now

Bush:

Graduate of Yale University where he served as Cheer Leader

Worked in his daddy’s oil business

Co-owner of the Texas Rangers baseball team

Served as governor of Texas from 1994 to 2000

Answer 1

They should be more concerned about honesty, integrity and an IQ above 75.

Answer 2

Uh, because Bush had very little experience and look where that got us so they have learned from their mistake.

Answer 3

Law School, so what, He was a "Community Organizer" whatever the h**l that is, and only has served in the Senate for a year, all of which was served on the campaign trail

Answer 4

Republicans are only talking about experience because that is the only thing McCain has going for him .... they dont have anything else good to say about him...  

Answer 5

Bush had his father to ask when things were tough.  He was a former president.  That is a lot of experience.  Can Barrack ask his father?  Maybe his brother in Kenya?

Answer 6

My son graduated from Harvard, has a very successful law practice in Boston, coaches under privileged boys baseball, that doesn't qualify him for the presidency. Wake up.

MCCAIN/PALIN '08

Answer 7

They're not, and it's obvious by their choice of VP. The issue of Experience only came up by the Republicans referencing  Senator Obama.

The adage of "WHAT'S GOOD FOR THE GOOSE IS GOOD FOR THE GANDER" only applied where they wanted it to and what ever is convenient for them.

For instance, Freedom of speech, religion, choice, etc. is OK for everybody except Obama, if some are allowed to have their way.

A lot of people are like that. They were grasping for straws looking for any means necessary to prove that  he was not qualified to run for President, and he's proven them all wrong.

As it is written in the Bible to "Judge not lest you be Judged" is proven yesterday. While McCain was calling Obama non qualified TO RUN FOR PRESIDENT he went and has chosen an "Hockey"  Mom, who asked "WHAT DOES A VICE PRESIDENT DO?. as his Vice President if he should win the election. That's only a strategy by McCain to win over the votes from those whom they know were voting for Hillary ONLY because she is a WOMAN, and not for the purpose of bringing to past the real goals of the Democratic Party, if they should win.

The Republicans know that those voters who claimed that if Hillary didn't win over Obama, and threatened to vote other than Democrat because of it,  and because he is black, they weren't TRUE Democrats, anyway, so he's grasping for votes not considering what's best for the Country. His  VP choice  knows about handling Energy crises but nothing of the Senate,  and world affairs so we've been told through Media.  

Anytime you have to ask what do Vice Presidents do in office...would make one Wonder what would happen if McCain died in Office and she had to confront Osama Bin Laden in the midst of a terriost attack.

At least Obama chose someone as VP that could run this country as President if something should happen to him. He was truly looking out for the country's best interest when he made his choice and Biden's creditability and experience can't be over looked, nor denied.

If people could see past Obama being born of mixed race like a lot of his true  intelligent, classy, supporters they would see the type of person he really is.  He really cares.

Answer 8

You're way too easy on Bush.

Got into Yale as a "legacy".  His grades were otherwise too poor.

Pulled strings to get into full Texas Air National Guard unit.  Failed to honor his service commitment.  Put himself on the "Voluntary No Fly" list the night before a mandatory drug test, so he wouldn't have to take the test.

Turned down by University of Texas Law School.  (Forgot to tell his father he applied, so the old man coundn't pull strings.)

Failed at his own oil business.

Got away with illegal insider trading at another.

Arrested 3 times (assault, theft, drunk driving).

Ran for Congress in the 70's and lost.

Was staked to a MINORITY share of the Rangers thanks to his daddy's pals.

Was FIGUREHEAD governor of Texas, a state where the Lieutentant Governor really runs things.

Answer 9

We still don't like Barack Hussein Obama.

Answer 10

spot on...

Answer 11

Hah! & they think Palin has more experience than Obama.

Answer 12

Bush was a Governor (Executive experience) For longer then Obama was a state senator (Not executive experience).  Besides the fact that you actually have to be present every day you are a Governor, as a senator you don't.  So Bush had more experience than Obama did.  Hey look at that!

Answer 13

It is obvious from the pick of Palin that they are not concerned with it.  

Answer 14

Obama is the best suited to be president and republicans are just hypocrites

Answer 15

Yeah and Obamas your attempt at affirmative action so it doesn't really matter if he's qualified or not.

Answer 16

Simple.  They never took logic in college.

Answer 17

I have been waiting for someone to ask this question.  You are exactly right.  Even McCain has attempted to pounce on Obama's (Lack of experience).  Then McCain, who is about to die of cancer and what not, picks Palin who has even less experience.  Obviously, Republicans are not concerned with experience all of the sudden.  I think it must be because they understand that Obama's intelligence has more importance than McCain's ugly experience.  Now they need to search for a less corrupted Republican, which are hard to find, and what do know, it's someone with almost no experience.  Republicans have always just tried to keep up and this is the best example.  The Dems are making history, lets do that.  I hope America is smart enough to understand this!

You are exactly right, Bush has no experience at all...The difference is that Obama is less corrupted by big oil and family agendas and more focused on real American people.

Answer 18

This is my question exactly. Oh and don't forget missing in action as a National Guardsman. He has already driven this country into insurmountable debt and cost our military personnel their lives.

Answer 19

I guess the same reaosn that you guys are concerned w./ Palin's experience!

Answer 20

Hmmmm...

"Served as governor of Texas from 1994 to 2000"

That is pretty good experience to me...

Answer 21

Even if they think Bush wins this experience battle look what Bush did to the country with all that experience.

Republicans love running **** for brains people in elections so the media feels sorry for them and makes up their excuses. We have seen what presidents without a good education will do to us how's about we try a president with a top notch education and see what will happen.
