McCain says that Obama is not experienced enough to run the country?

Question

He also said that his VP choice would be ready to take over on day one. Sarah Palin has less experience than Obama. So by McCain's logic if he considers Palin qualified enough to take over then Obama must be more than qualified to lead?

As a woman I'm glad a main party has picked a woman but surely the pick of not so experienced Palin erodes his claim about Obamas experience?

I'm a little baffled by his choice especially since Palin was placed under investigation in July on charges of corruption or abuse of power.

Answer 1

The charges are bogus.. The man she fired refused to fire a state trooper guilty of corruption.

Answer 2

He would say that! wouldn't he, America needs Obama, it's time, for a complete change.

Answer 3

Yes he did say that. And to drive the point home he picked a running mate with more experience than obama even though she's younger. Heck she even has more executive experience than Biden. I'm very impressed with her. You should have seen the Obama reaction, he looked totally scared out of his mind and stuttered more than Bush! Thankfully he'll have Biden to advise him on how to aproach the general.  I'm definitely voting McCain now!

Answer 4

After McCain picking someone with no experience and no one knows her, Obama and Biden are even more apppealing to me!

But I would never have fvted for McCain no matter who he chose as his VP!

Obama/Biden 08

Both ready to lead!

Answer 5

^ most of those people are just obama haters .. I agree with you .

Uh what is smart about picking a woman to be your VP that has no IDEA how to be VP with LESS experience than the person you are running against.

It's just a trick, a trick to get all of the hillary supporters votes .. BECAUSE HE IS SCARED! IT IS AS SIMPLE AS THAT ..

Answer 6

Nonsense.  She's been a two term mayor, where she ran a city, and now she's runs the largest state in the country.  What has Obama ran?  Nothing.  It's not just McCain who says Obama isn't experienced enough.  Look at this video and see Obama's running mate, Joe Biden, say Obama isn't experienced enough:

And being under investigation doesn't mean much by itself.  If she's found guilty of anything, let us know, okay?  But I think the fact she's running with McCain shows how confident they are there was no wrong doing.

Answer 7

As A non American don't understand all this.  The president is just a figurehead,, OK he picks the team but he is not a one man dictator,   The team, the whole hundreds of them  decide the policies, home and abroad,  so what has the experience of the leader have to do with it.  He just follows the advice of others around him.. Couldn't possibly do it all single handed.    

Answer 8

Palin has something Obama lacks, common sense and good judgement of character. If he had those qualities he wouldn't have associated himself with Wright, Farrakhan, Rezko, Ayers, Father Pfleger

Answer 9

Yes. McCain and his dastardly group took this talking point out of the debate.

So now they can go preach to us on family values again. This isn't going to work again.

8 years of Evangelical preaching, good grief.

Answer 10

Well we all know the Rove hand pick Palin with out McCain even knowing her.  That must be a slap in the Face to the other two women that McCain named.

Answer 11

Obama is not experienced enough to work the drive thru at McDonald's. She has more experience in her big toe then Obama has,period.

Answer 12

mccain is so stupid he wouldnt kno experience if it hit im in the head. Palin isnt even a senator! shes a governor. he would have had a better shot by choosing arnold schwarzenegger. shes stupid and so is mccain.
