Less than 2 years as a governor is supposed to be impressive?

Question

I keep seeing all this BS that Palin has more experience that Obama. You people are nuts!! Palin has a BA in Journalism and was a sports reporter.. Obama has a degrees from Columbia from Harvard Law!!!

Are you folks for real here or just grasping for the last straw?

I am totally shocked..

Answer 1

Well, it's more impressive than the facts that:

-Obama has been on the road campaigning 59 of the last 112 months...

-Obama has missed 51% of his Senate votes since January 2007...

-Obama has ties to the admitted Terrorist group the Weathermen...

-Obama admitting he had a major cocaine problem in one of his books...

-Obama QUOTING Reverend Wright's anti-white rhetoric in his book "Dreams of my Father"...

-Obama showing up on Youtube videos in the background of Wright giving anti-white speeches at Trinity church, despite his later claiming "he never heard such talk"...

-Obama's shady ties to the Criminal housing Developer Rezko who apparently helped Obama purchase his $2 million home....

Sadly, Those are all facts.

I'm a Dem, and all those bother me.

MUCH more than a woman who has turned Alaska's budget problems around....

Obama MUST address those major issues, or he will not win.

Going out of his way to Not pick Hillary has damaged and divided the Dems - not as badly as it would have been had Hillary won and snubbed Obama (there would have been riots in the streets), but still.

For our country's sake, I hope he does.

But let's not hold him up to the light without examining his flaws.

He's not the chosen one, he is the Democratic Nominee with the least experience of ANY democratic nominee EVER.

And, remember, he didn't win ONE major state in the primaries that used a majority vote system and not a caucus.

If, as a Dem that doesn't scare you, you need to take a step back and look at the whole Obama picture.

EDIT:

Never said you were a cheerleader - even though you posted that WHILE i was writing my response.

But the way you have fallen over yourself to defend your question from valid answers indicates you are supporting him heavily.

i notice you mentioned not one of the Obama facts I listed - do they worry you in any way?

And as for Palin balancing the budget with Oil Revenues - hmm the previous two Democrat Governors there couldn't do it with the revenues.... (and I know all about Alaska and their budget problems - my brother lives and works there)

And, believe it or not, VERY Democratic here.

I just think Obama is less than the best choice, he couldn't carry a single major vote Majority state and if I had my Druthers, it would have been Hillary.

I spent time helping her campiagn in two different states. How about you?

i won't do the same for Obama the Addict.

(he JUST quit smoking a pack of cigarettes a day - what ELSE is he addicted to?)

Now, with Mccain picking Palin, the question of Obama's inexperience goes out the window. They cancel each other out.

But to think the guy is really for "change" when he picks a guy who was in the Senate when Obama was 12 and Nixon was in office, well...

that's change I can do without.

Obama is not my nominee.

I'll vote for him to protect things like Women's and g*y rights, but I'll do it begrudgingly.

Remember - George W. Bush was great at reading a teleprompter too...

Answer 2

um....degrees are not "experience"...the one's I have don't equate to the things I have accomplished in the real-world since graduation..

...didn't you catch Obama's memo that he's going to fight claims that he and his supporters are "elitist." ?

Answer 3

she ran a state what did obama run
