Do you take a Harvard graduate and make him CEO? Do you take a 3 year U.S. Senator and make him President?

Question

Anne Price-Mills, a Hillary delegate at the Democratic National Convention, speaking to Suzanne Malveaux of CNN after Senator Clinton finished her speech, posed this question. See it here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s-XssR45W4E

Does experience matter anymore?

Answer 1

No but it should everyone is just going to vote for obama because he is black and thats ridiculous he has hardly any exiperince

Answer 2

lol those are the same excuses you can use for black man. Those women are backing a Hillary when she stands by a cheating man for her own agenda, underestimates Obama and loses the primary. Yes she gave a great speach, but how can you back a weak woman.

Answer 3

No. And it hasn't for a long time. We chose an inexperienced candidate at a time that was more dire for America than it is now...and he turned out to be our greatest president.

Answer 4

wonderful

Answer 5

Sure it matters, but it is only part of the mix.  We are electing a leader and leadership skills are not measured by years of service.  Abe Lincoln served 8 years in the Illinois state legislature - not a Governor, not a US congressman or senator.  

Answer 6

Excellent point posed, but geniuses do come along once in a while, BUT, I am afraid I can't say Barack is one. or hasn't shown his true colors yet.

Answer 7

bill clinton had no experience..under clinton we had no wars, gas was 1.25 a gallon and it was all good over here..

the experienced one have ****** up....

baRACK IN 08

Answer 8

I would not pick Barack obama whether he was in the senate for 2 seconds or whether he was there for 100 years. period.  

Answer 9

thank you mrs price-mills.  This is exactly how I feel as well.  

Answer 10

There is another factor that I think is being overlooked and that is

CHARACTER!

A President must have Character (or be one?)

and not just a Character actor, but the real thing.

BOTH candidates are SOLD out to the big money interests that funded their campaigns and so are USELESS to the AMERICAN people!

Get a grip people

This Nov. vote for the NOT a Democrat and NOT a Republican!

Answer 11

Experience does matter just ask a person facing open heart surgery what would you rather have experienced  heart doctor, or one fresh out of school....

Answer 12

NO!

But I have never really made an issue of Obama's experience.  I think that those who focus only on experience are missing the point.

I question BHO's JUDGEMENT!
