Question

Don't you think it hypocritical that McCain criticize Obama for being inexperienced yet he picked Palin as VP?

Answer 1

not really, what does the VP actually do anyway? It's different if you have no experience and want to be President, lots more responsibility there. Really, what has d**k Cheney actually DONE as VP? the only thing he's known for is his hunting skills. or lack thereof.

Answer 2

yes, yes i do. he is hypocritical and inconsistent in alot of his opinions

Answer 3

are you just mad she has run more gov't then Barry?

Answer 4

Inexperience is the least of Obama's problems.

Answer 5

not really...

but Sarah isn't at the top of the ticket for one...

and she's got more experience running a government then biden and obama put together i believe..

Answer 6

A little only for the fact that there is great chance if McCain wins office, his health could deteriorate, causing Palin to be the president.  I saw a clip on CNN this morning of him saying he wanted his VP to be able to take his place if needed.  

Kinda blows the whole inexperience argument out the window.  But on the other hand she is only running as VP.  

Answer 7

no not really, Palin has more experience than Obama, far more. Why are all the Obama followers so outraged by the choice?

Answer 8

What are you talking about?  She spent two terms leading a city, and now she leads a state.  A state that doesn't actually border the US, and as a result, she's had to negotiate with Canada and Russia on things like oil, trade, fishing rights, etc.  What does Obama lead?  How much time has he spent negotiating with foreign governments?

And why are you comparing Obama to Palin anyway?  Is Obama so weak you have to compare him to the VP?

Answer 9

Not at all.  Obama, who is, of course, the candidate specifically for president, is a 1st term Senator who has spent much of that time on the campaign trail.  Gov. Palin, while I confess that I don't know much about her, is the only person on either ticket with actual experience in executive office.  So, no, I don't really believe the two are comparable.
