Do you think Obama, who hasn't even ran a small town, should be able to run this country?

Question

I'm comparing him to Palin...I know McCain hasn't either but he has way more experience in the Government, and he has already proven he would do anything for this country.

Answer 1

LOL, what the h**l are you smoking?

She left Wasilla with a 22 million dollar debt and she went in with 0!

McCain's sat on his as-s while in the senate. What in h**l can he do in 4 years that he couldn't do in 26?

Obama's sponsored or authored 136 bills since 2005, which is 45 bills per year, and about  3.75-4 per month.

McCain, since 1993 has sponsored 537 bills, about 20 bills per year, about 1.67 a month.

What the h**l did he do the previous 11 years???? Why didn't he begin authoring bills if he was so concerned about Washington? Please

Who's done more work?

Answer 2

Newt Gingrichon BO's experience compared to Palin.

"It's stronger than Barack Obama's. I don't know why you guys walk around saying this baloney. She has a stronger resume than Obama. She's been a real mayor, he hasn't. She has been a real governor, he hasn't. She's been in charge of the Alaskan National Guard, he hasn't. She was a whistleblower who defeated an incumbent mayor. He has never once shown that kind of courage. She's a whistleblower who turned in the chairman of her own party and got him fined $12,000. I've never seen Obama do one thing like that. She took on the incumbent governor of her own party and beat him, and then she beat a former Democratic governor in the general election. I don't know of a single thing Obama's done except talk and write. "

Newt then challenged Allen:

I'd like you to tell me one thing Sen. Obama's done.

With that, Allen retreated, and said:

Thanks very much, Mr. Speaker. I'm going to leave it there. I'm not going to argue the case. Thanks very much.

The great black dope in full effect, and so are his liberal media disciples.

Answer 3

I would not vote for Barack Obama if he was running for Mayor of my City. He does not understand the challenges the United States of America is going to have to face in the 21st Century and he will make decisions that will make the United States a weaker nation.

If Obama was running for Governor of Illinois, I believe he would have the experience to be the Governor of Illinois because of his state experience in Illinois but his inexperience as a U.S. Senator will make the United States look like Europe.  

Answer 4

Trisha, I have much respect for what McCain has done for our country, I think he is a great man. I have alot of reservations such as out of all the wonderful and educated Republicans he chose Palin to be his running mate. Also how he has voted with about 90% of George Bush"s issues. Also he does not want to bring our troops home. It just frightens me. I think what people are forgetting is that we are not only voting for the President we are also voting for the party. I just think we should give the Democrats a chance. I dont believe things can get any worse.

Answer 5

He's more able to run this country than John McCain who also has never ran a small town, a state, or a company. McCain's entire career has been in the military and Congress.

Answer 6

The first Bush, Carter, and Nixon all had less experience than Obama yet were allowed to become President.  Many Presidents have.  Is there a new qualification rule to be President you're thinking of?

Answer 7

No, it is a scary proposition that Americans are serious about electing a person who has never been a leader of anything to prepare him for the highest position of the world's super-power. Especially when one considers the state of the world right now. What are the Russians up to? What about Iran? And don't forget Chavez. There are some serious issues out there. As Joe Biden said in the primaries, the Presidency is no place for on the job training (referring to Obama). It was true back then, it still is today.

Answer 8

I didn't know it was a requirement to run small towns before one can become president!

Can a former mayor become vice president, even though she says she doesn't know what a VP does?

Should a citizen, who believes and repeats party spin be allowed to vote?

Answer 9

Obama has been in government for 20 years.  He is WAY more qualified than her and FULLY understands the needs of the working class.

Don't you worry your little head off...he has the Clintons, Biden, a WHOLE DEMOCRATIC administration to rely on.

What he is is THE HEAD THAT TURNS THE BODY.

Answer 10

Um, do you think McCain, who is a guy, should best represent womens interests because he found a girl from Alaska.

Do you also think that Brad Pitt, who has played in many dangerous movies, has the experience to run a country?

Or do you think that politicians are good actors?

Answer 11

Sarah Palin has not only been mayor of a small town but was also the governor of Alaska with an astonishing 80% approval rating. We have had many presidents that have "only been governors" but none that have "only been congressmen".

Answer 12

OBAMA HAS RUN A POLITICAL CAMPAIGN THAT HAS FROM THE START OF HIS CAREER DEFEATED THE ESTABLISHMENT BECAUSE OF HIS LEADERSHIP SKILLS AND JUDGEMENT.

AND IT IS MORE ACCURATE TO POINT OUT THAT JOHN MCSAME WILL DO ANYTHING TO THIS COUNTRY TO GET ELECTED INCLUDING TO HELP START A WAR IN THE REPUBLIC OF GEORGIA.

NOW HE SAYS HE IS THE PARTY OF CHANGE, BECAUSE HE WANTS TO TAKE ALL THE CHANGE WE HAVE LEFT IN OUR POCKETS AFTER BUSH SCREWED US UP SO BAD.

OBAMA 08

Answer 13

He's the only decent man running for president, so what choice do you have?

McCain is Bush

Palin is a great speaker, but her beliefs are the same as the Quakers when they arrived  

Answer 14

he will NOT be well equipped.

When you havent even served a FULL TERM in the senate, people are going to run all over you. And being a recreational coordinator doesnt count for squat

Right now our country does not need someone who is looking for 'on the job training'

hope this helps :)

Answer 15

I think he will do just fine. There's been plenty of Presidents with lots of experience and they failed. I'm looking for more of a smart President then one who can say they've done some things weather they be good or bad.

And by the way Obama has been in government longer then Palin who's been mayor and governor of a small town, and a low populated state.

Answer 16

He runs a campaign of 50,000 people across 50 states for the last 2 years. That is many times over more people and responsibility than Palin had to deal with as mayor.

He beat a woman that had an 18 million strong following.  I think that takes incredible leadership to do that.

He is a state/US senator responsible for millions of people in one of the largest populous states in America for the last 11 years.  Palin has 1.5 years leading the least populous state and a lot of caribou.  

Answer 17

No, I would not want Obama to run a hot dog stand at a local fair. The idea of him running a whole town is scary, unless it is a ghost town that people wanted to ensure remained inhospitable.

Answer 18

Honey, they all "prove" to us that they would do anything for this country.  Politicians are basically liars and would say anything for a vote.  It is up to us to pick the lesser of the two evils.

Answer 19

Obama was a professor of constitutional law and has a degree in political science and already has his national security clearance

after all he is on the foreign relations committee

While Joe Biden was telling Slobodan Milosevic to HIS FACE: "You are a war criminal.. I'll see you at the Hague!" Palin was deciding if they should keep the city dump open an extra hour.

Answer 20

You can't be serious? Wasilla is a town of 8,000. Obama's old church TUCC had 8,000 members and no one would suggest that Rev Wright be VP. Alaska has only 600,00. The south side of Chicago(2 million+)  has more people than the entire state of Alaska. Since most of America is below the Tundra Line, please explain to yourself what experience she has in the world of the real America? this choice by mcSame shows a reckless disregard for the good of the nation. you have to see clearly that if she became president, we'd be in big trouble. So this makes mcSame unqualified,too.

Answer 21

its just going to be 4 more years of the same bull we have with bush,bt know it would be an old wrinkle old guty{Mccain} hes a sack of ****. im being as Candid as i can be.  he is a raist m**o. he GOING to PUT an ENGLISH ONLY law. jst like he did in arizona. and hes only using Palin to get the clinton vottes becouse they dnt want to vote for obama. hes a raist, and hes sexist. now do you want some one who would die any minute now to be president? hmmm...... Sleep on it,.

OBAMA '08

Answer 22

Any kid who's been 11th grade student council president could run a town of 7,000.  Whats kind of controversial issues do small towns face? Whether or not to put a stop sign up on the corner of main & elm?

Give me a break!

And by that logic why not put Palin on the top of the ticket?

Answer 23

Has McCain?

So, who is the better candidate out of the two. Which got an education fit to earn him millions but chose to help those who could not be educated versus who rather invest in himself and those that maintain his lifestyle to buy so many houses, he is not sure how many there are?

Let's put this out there. Serving your country is a responsibility, but DOES NOT qualify you be the next president. It does show McCain is skillful at war and perhaps even starting wars. You choose, a man who is about the people or a man of war. We have seen how well that has worked out the last 8 years.

Answer 24

Obama is doing the same thing Jimmy Carter did - he is telling people what they want to hear.  And like Jimmy Carter, if he does get elected history will likely repeat itself.  And then my friend, we will all be in a world of SHxT

Answer 25

Yes.

Unless you think any mayor of a town with 9,000 would be qualified to be a VP in 20 months.

Fact remains that a man with Palin's credentials would never have been offered the job.

Answer 26

No, he has squat for experience.

Answer 27

The biggest comparison for Obama that most people overlook, are his limited experiences in Chicago.  His BIG claim to experience was the ACORN Organization, where he boasted he was an "organizer"........a chant picked up by his rabid supporters.  Then ACORN was disclosed as a corrupt political front for the infamous Chicago Daly Political Machine ( the same ones who took Obama under their wing ).......now, you NEVER hear his organizer dribble again.      Look at his "District" and check the crime, drug, gang and poverty rates from when he ran on a platform of "clean it up".....................NEVER happened. In fact, Obama managed to SNEAK 18 MILLION into the 2009 Fed Budget for the Shed Aquarium in Chicago, even though they had a SURPLUS budget of 10 million.  Think that wasn't a "payback" for a favor he received ?

   IF the President had Line Item Veto power, these types of abuses would be stopped today.

   Obama has no experience running  anything that wasn't corrupt or honest.

Answer 28

He hasnt even ever run a BUSINESS?!

He has ABSOLUTELY Z-E-R-O executive experience for someone who wants to hold the highest executive office in the land?!

Answer 29

Palin hasn't effectively run her own home, let alone a country.  And YES, Obama is well able to run America!  Obama/Biden 2008.

Answer 30

It seems that it is a lot harder to get millions of people you do not pay organized well enough to defeat Hillary than to run a tiny city.

Palin presides over a State whose budget has gone from 2.9 billion when she took office to 9 billion next year. 14,692.00 per person in the State. Wow. And they still have to pay Federal tax, and do not have roads between cities.

Increasing spending by 300% in just less than 2 years. She is faster than Bush.

http://www.gov.state.ak.us/omb/

1200 of it per household is for one new social program by taxing them and giving it back to them http://gov.state.ak.us/news-55671.html

She was able to get more earmarks and pork for her city of 5000 than Minneapolis/St. Paul Minnesota got and she will get them for your city too.. http://www.swamppolitics.com/news/politi...



Please check my sources. They are her web sites as governor of Alaska.

Finally, 20% of Alaska's delegates voted against her last night.

Answer 31

Hilarious, honey. Your girl Palin ran a town RIGHT INTO THE GROUND. She took a town that was fiscally sound and left it in debt. She used town employees for her own purposes. She got the town into a million dollar boondoggle by having a town center (with a hockey rink no doubt) built on land hahahahaha the town might not have owned. (These are the facts, ma'am...look them up)

Experience doesn't count if it's negative experience honey.

And....McCain couldn't run this country for even a day. He's a cynical self-serving politician who chose a woman who is probably a crook just because he wanted to pander to certain elements in his party.

Palin....not worth two cents
