If Gov palin has so little "experience" how come she has governed 500K+ people and Obama has governed none?

Question

Alaska might has a small pop. but its more than Obama has governed

Answer 1

Here Here! Great point.Dont you love how Obummers camp whined when McCain said he is inexperienced? And now they are doing it? PATHETIC!!!

Answer 2

I beg to differ, as Senator of Illinois he's representing thousands more.  I think he represented more people when he worked in a south-side soup kitchen that Palin ever has...or ever will.

Answer 3

hey lets jump on the palin band wagon .  nobody out side alaska has ever heard of her.  governed over 500k+ holy **** give her a medal.    

Answer 4

Shhh...you'll drive 'em crazy with the facts; they're congenitally incapable of digesting them and it gives 'em atrociously bad gas! :-))

Answer 5

You are talking about the Governor of Alaska. I got no insults to them, but what does governing Alaska have to do with leadership to a nation?

She has no clus on passing laws and bills or foreign policies. If she had a good education then I might give her a bit of space, but Idaho come on now. I didn't get 130k in debt to a ivy league school so I could see a beauty quees with the IQ of a basketball become VP.

Answer 6

Actually, Obama has made laws for 300 million, including everyone in Alaska. Its funny that no one knew this woman until today. lol

Answer 7

Obama has defined himself for the past 19 months to the public.Bush  was supposed to have experience and look where that's gotten us.

Answer 8

True..  This choice of Sarah Palin has hit a nerve for the Democrats. They are now on feirce attack. What does that tell you?

McCain-Palin '08  

Answer 9

This is true. Its because all the dems are confuse about what kind of exerience a pres or vp needs. they think public service counts, but it doenst. If i went and fed the homeless for a few years they would say i had experience.  

Answer 10

Stop embarrassing yourself.  Get an education and maybe then you'll understand why this is the all-time most stupid question I have ever read.

Answer 11

what about community organizing?

Answer 12

You're really presenting absurd "evidence" for or against the candidates.

Just because someone has governed doesn't mean they're good for president or VP.

Just step back, and understand this is all politics. There's enough mud-slinging and hypocrisy to go around.

Unfortunately, there are millions of people who are suckered by such mud-slinging politics. Seems people are a little big smarter than usual, but you can't lose, unfortunately, in underestimating people's ability to think rationally.

Bush has been president over millions, does that make him a good president?

Answer 13

This is ridiculous.  You ridicule Obama for his lack of experience in office but now your sayings its okay for Palin?  Can you say DOUBLE STANDARD!!!

The GOP should be comedians because they are downright laughable!

Answer 14

I still wouldn't have chosen her. I think she's good for Reps but not for alleged Hillary supoorters

Answer 15

HAHAHA...The Republican answers to this (and other questions like this) are laughable! I'm finding it hard to type I'm laughing so hard! All the qualities they complained about for Obama they now have in their own VP! Corruption, lack of experience, blah, blah blah! It's so funny to see them changing their positions and trying to say that Palin is a good choice! HAHAHA!

Answer 16

Obama serves as a Representative of millions.  That's if you're counting.  

Answer 17

I supervisor more people at my job than in the entire state of Alaska

Answer 18

Exactly!

I think Democrats would be wise to give up on that tactic really fast (that she somehow has "less experience" than Obama simply because he's older).  That's going to backfire big time.

Obama never been in a position of ultimate responsibility.  She has far more qualifications than Obama, even for the presidency itself!  And she's even battled corruption in her own party!  Has Obama even ONCE challenged the status quo of the Democratic Party?  Did he speak out vehemently against William Jefferson, for example?  Did he EVER question the illegal real estate dealings of Harry Reid?  Never.  Not once.  For a "community activist" he has been relatively silent.

Even Obama's back-room deal to silence Hillary and somehow buy her "unity" stinks of politics as usual!  And his selection of Biden, the cabinet experts he's been depending on, all of it... status quo.  There isn't any "change" with Obama.  It's more of the same.  If anyone is a continuation of the Bush era, it would be Obama.  Different party, same old politics.  Even their convention sounded like a re-hash of the same tired messages.

I like the fact that McCain selected a conservative maverick with a record of really challenging the status quo.  He's been a moderate maverick, so they are a perfect pair that will deliver true and proven change to Washington.

The more the people on the extremist left complain about Palin, the more we know McCain made the most brilliant choice ever.

I haven't been sure what I was going to do.  Now I am positive.

Get ready for a huge bump in the polls.  I know a lot of people who feel like I do.  John McCain will win by a landslide.

(Obama really should have picked Hillary.  That will prove to be the biggest mistake of his campaign.  Had he picked Hillary, I would have probably voted for them.)

Answer 19

Chicago alone has like 3 million people but Obama has shown he can go across America and stand strong and Biden just adds to it. I really think Palin might fall flat.  McCain made a very risky choice just trying to get Hillary voters.

Answer 20

I know!!!

Its also more then McCain has ever govorned.  Why don't you ask McCain to decline the nomination!  Do you want a guy who has never governed like, Washington, Lincoln, Obama, or McCain, they are all horrible!!!!!

Answer 21

Then by that standard McCain has governed no one as well.

Answer 22

You make a very good point. I wonder if Obama supporters can name one thing he's actually done to help people. Probably not and that's whats so sad that people that can vote are so ill informed about their choice. Obama is so tied up in corruption and has very little experience. I bet millions of dems wish they could have a do over so Hillary would be their nominee...

Answer 23

Oh it's ok because Obabma's gonna CHANGE THE CHANGE THAT'S CHANGING US!!!!!

Answer 24

He does really look inept now.

Answer 25

Obama backers realy wish you wouldn't bring that up.......lol.

They will start looking for clubs Obama presided over just to try to find some sort of official governing position for him.

Obama's only experience is in campaigning.  As soon as he won the senate seat he started priming the party for this run for president.  He never even did what a senator was suppose to do.

Answer 26

Alaska is full of Libertarians who don't give a d**n about government.  That's why many people move there.  Self-sufficiency and no taxes.
