Did Obama really say that managing his campaign gives him more experience than Palin?

Question

Did he forget that he's not the one that actually manages his campaign?

Is even David Axelrod more experienced than Obama - according to Obama's own words?

Answer 1

Yes

What he forgot to mention is that he has zero part in the management of his campaign

Answer 2

Yes.  He most definitely said it.  

This guy has lost his mind!!  He's grasping at straws to stay above water, but it's not working and he's going down fast.  It's at the point where I don't know whether to laugh at him or pity him.  It's kind of hard not to laugh though...

He must have been up since Friday thinking of that one...Gotta love it!!

Answer 3

Do you think managing polar bears gives one more experience?

Answer 4

lol he didnt rlly say that right that would be a little crazy i mean it would be funny if he said it but he coudnt have actually said that right he has got to be smarter than that right unless his head is getting a little too big

Answer 5

Move On Dot Org manages his campaign

Answer 6

Yea, he knows he is the least experienced out of Biden, McCain, and Palin.

Answer 7

the President is not the one that Actually runs the Country, but he is in Charge. This is no news.

Obama  has run a flawless campaign with more employees and volunteers that Alaska has residence. his budget for the Month is twice her yearly budget and it's fast pace  day after day, and he didn't blow his VP decision.

Answer 8

Yes ... PRETTY LAME !!!

Obama is going to give our sovereignty over to the United Nations through his Global Poverty Act (S.2433).

Alaska Govermor Sarah Palin has MORE TOTAL political experience than Obama.

KimS

Answer 9

No obama dose not have much Experience than her, and to be fair he did not say any thing bad about her  

Answer 10

Obama is desperate. He knows he has no experience so he's just making up nonsense. Obama has never held executive office. He has less expereeince than Governor Sarah Palin.

Answer 11

So are you saying that George Bush is not actually running the country? You can't have it both ways under her so called christian beliefs the man runs the household so are you saying that her husband is actually running Alaska?

I tell you what running the most successfully funded campaign is nothing to make light of.

Answer 12

If McCain is managing HIS campaign, he's unfit for any elected office.

His campaign's becoming a train-wreck and it hasn't even started.

Obama's made a legend and he's barely out of the gate.

The world does not pay off on a good try.

Answer 13

Nope.

Nice reach though.

Answer 14

This Palin that does not know how to close her reproductive canal?

What a governor?

Making baby at age 44 yrs is the dumbest thing i have ever had a governor do?

And now we learn that her 17 yrs old child is about to have a child?

Please help me tell Palin that if she wants to belong to our civilized world where people learn about reproductive health, she should use contraceptives.

You cannot claim to be civilized and make uncivilized decision then turn around to cling to religion at wish.

This is unbelievable.

You want to compare this lady with no commonsense with Obama just because Obama is black?

How many people live in ALASKA? More moose in town than people.

Even the moose do not give birth at wrong age. let alone make downs syndrome baby.

Tell Sarah to go back home and sit down with her children and shower love on that Downs syndrome baby of hers.

That is the little she could selfishly offer.

No place for such person in the presidency of America.

Answer 15

LOL, David Axelrod ANSWERS to Obama, so that means Obama is running the campaign.

You know, I bet you don't know this but I'm going to share this with you.

The Bush Administration is using TWO initiatives Barack sponsored in dealing with Hurricane Gustav, did you know this?

Also let's be clear, managing a 500,000 state for less than 2 years isn't really what I'd call having a firm grasp on the economy.

What has she done? Specifically, what has she done?

This is what she's done:

She sold a d**n jet on ebay

She signed into law a $6.6 billion operating budget—the largest in Alaska's history. While at the same time, she used her veto power to make the second-largest cuts of the construction budget in state history. The $237 million in cuts represented over 300 local projects, and reduced the construction budget to nearly $1.6 billion.

She initially expressed support for the bridge to nowhere, but then when once it became unpopular, she kicked it to the curb and kept the fed money.

In response to high oil and gas prices, and the resulting state government budget surplus, Palin proposed giving Alaskans $100-a-month energy debit cards. She also proposed providing grants to electrical utilities so that they would reduce customers' rates. She subsequently dropped the debit card proposal, and in its place she proposed to send Alaskans $1,200 directly, paid for from the windfall surplus the state is getting because of the high oil prices.

Now, this last segment, I commend her, but other than that she hasn't done a thing, she's under investigatiom and she tried to hide her daughter's pregnancy.

On the other hand, Barack has done many things, and this is a partial list:

COMMITTEE ASSIGNMENTS:

Obama holds assignments on the Senate Committees for Foreign Relations; Health, Education, Labor and Pensions; Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs; and Veterans' Affairs, and he is a member of the Congressional Black Caucus.

As a member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Obama made official trips to Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. In August 2005, he traveled to Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan. The trip focused on strategies to control the world's supply of conventional weapons, biological weapons, and weapons of mass destruction as a first defense against potential terrorist attacks.

Following meetings with U.S. military in Kuwait and Iraq in January 2006, Obama visited Jordan, Israel, and the Palestinian territories.

He left for his third official trip in August 2006, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. In a nationally televised speech at the University of Nairobi, he spoke forcefully on the influence of ethnic rivalries and corruption in Kenya.

Obama worked with Russ Feingold (D–WI) to eliminate gifts of travel on corporate jets by lobbyists to members of Congress and require disclosure of bundled campaign contributions under the "Honest Leadership and Open Government Act", which was signed into law in September 2007.

He joined Chuck Schumer (D-NY) in sponsoring S. 453, a bill to criminalize deceptive practices in federal elections, including fraudulent flyers and automated phone calls, as witnessed in the 2006 midterm elections.

Obama also introduced the "Iraq War De-Escalation Act", a bill to cap troop levels in Iraq, begin phased redeployment, and remove all combat brigades from Iraq before April 2008.<68>

Later in 2007, Obama sponsored with Kit Bond (R-MO) an amendment to the 2008 Defense Authorization Act adding safeguards for personality disorder military discharges, and calling for a review by the Government Accountability Office following reports that the procedure had been used inappropriately to reduce government costs.

joined Chuck Hagel (R-NE) in introducing legislation to reduce risks of nuclear terrorism.A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.

Obama also sponsored a Senate amendment to the State Children's Health Insurance Program (SCHIP) to provide one year of job protection for family members caring for soldiers with combat-related injuries. After passing both houses of Congress with bipartisan majorities, SCHIP was vetoed by President Bush in early October 2007, a move Obama said "shows a callousness of priorities that is offensive to the ideals we hold as Americans."

Answer 16

Kay your so far out in fantasy land... Earth calling Kay are you there, what Sarah has as much experience on the national stage as I do, which is none. Running a state that has money falling from the sky, and 650,000 residents is a part time job. At least Obama knows and has worked with all the senators, and has at least meet the president. Ms. Palin doesn't even have a passport, so your experience argument rings hollow.

Answer 17

Obama has more experience than Palin any way you want to slice it.  

Miss Aleutian Islands doesn't really count now does it?

Answer 18

Lmao i couldn't stop laughing when they played that clip what a lame excuse......he just made him self look like a hardcore idiot I can't wait I can picture the new attack ad now....

Answer 19

Apparently!  

Answer 20

I don't know but I do know this

Saturday, August 30, 2008

Alaska's GOP State Senate President on Palin: "She's not prepared to be governor. How can she be prepared to be vice president or president?"

so maybe Obama is right.
