Obam vs palin experience?

Question

When Obama first began to get ahead many of his supporters downplayed the importance of experience. I mean how many time did we hear that Lincoln had little experience, however, now that Palin is nominated all of a sudden experience is important to democrats. If Experience is so important, why did they elect a rookie to their starting position and a vet to second string. OBAM HAS SPENT MORE TIME CAMPAINGNING THEN HE HAS WORKING! does anyone find this shocking!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Answer 1

What have they done, and what will they do.

obama is a shifty lawyer, and what does it say when you profession is to protect people from people like yourself.

Their primary goal is to figure out, weather right or, how to get away with things. If it's not ethical or moral let's draft law's to suit our intended goal, no matter who gets hurt.

Unethical lawyer's don't necessarily make leaders. Impeached, former President, bill clinton was disbarred for his Nationally Embarrassing conduct illustrates the problem with 2 bit lawyers.

Libs can never take a stand on an issue, that is why they act the way they do. Hurrah for this woman boo for that woman. If we pick a woman we are progressive if they do it they are pandering. They live in a constant state of misery because they are so contradictory.

biden insults obama and belittles every African American and minority in the country, if you haven't heard it you will, and yet he gets put on the ticket as the VP. The democrat party has been a wreck for a long long time and their only hope to grab power is the dumbing down of our kids who they count on for votes by courting them with flashy conventions, photo ops with shallow Hollywood elitists and fireworks.

Palin is a saint compared to obama when it comes to ethics and integrity.

obama and his crooked associates are  way to shady for me.

Rozko, Wright, Bill Airs with a friend in the White House?

I don't think so!

McCain/Palin 08,

Answer 2

• but let's face it, the governor of Alaska is not exactly in a place to have vast foreign and world experience. What has she been doing, sending envoys to emperor of the penguins and king of the polar bears? The fact of the matter is that McCain could keel over at any time and I have a hard time thinking that a single term governor of a sparsely populated backwater wilderness is going to have the experience to be president of the United States

Answer 3

Palin actually has more executive experience than Obama, Biden and McCain

Answer 4

As soon as I heard McCain had selected Palin (a first term governor) as his running mate, it took about 2 seconds to put it together.  McCain is hoping to pick up all the Hilary Clinton die-hards who, even though they are democrats, wouldn't vote for Obama if his name was the only one the ballot, because he's a man.  Palin makes it ok to vote again because she's a woman.  Republicans have dogged Obama since day one about his lack of experience, but they turned right around and cut off their own noses to spite their face (or shot themselves in the foot) when Palin was selected as a running mate.   BUT, Obama's selection was no better in Joe Biden.  Biden is being used for his knowledge of foreign affairs, (Obama doesn't know it all so old Joe will help him out) and the fact that he is white.  Biden makes it ok to vote for Obama.  

I could care less who get's elected, because in the end, we the average Joe's, are going to loose.  Obama speaks of change, but his ideas are nothing more than dreams.  Our nation didn't get into the state it is currently in over 1 or 10 years.  And while I believe him to be honest, Obama will not be able to fulfill is vision.  Washington doesn't work that way.  For the most part Wahington is still the good ole' boys club.  If the House and Senate turn their noses up at Obama, it's going to be a long 4 or 8 years for him.    

Answer 5

Well said.

also, McCain is actually doing more 'change' than Obama by choosing a woman VP, and Dems. are still complaining.

Answer 6

More than shocking, I find it a tragedy for America that this guy is seriously being considered as president.  The irony of Dems criticizing Palin's lack of experience while their top guy lacks it is clear.  Sadly they don't see it.

Answer 7

The reason is that the Republicans had been attacking Obama's lack of experience.  Obama has spent the majority of his time in the Senate campaigning, but he did spent time in state and local government before he became a national Senator.  He did not just start his career the day he was elected into the Senate.  Since Palin was Governor for only 20 months and mayor for a short time in a small town (pop. 6.500), it seemed only fair to bring up her inexperience since it is the Republicans main attack on Obama.    She even said she did not know what a vice president does everyday.

Answer 8

I am from Illinois, so I can speak with some authority. Obama is part of what we here in Illinois call the "Chicago Machine". That being the corrupt political influence of Chicago. I am from downstate Illinois, and I can tell you, the Chicago Machine has destroyed Illinois. They suck up all of the taxes from the whole state and waste them on "projects" for Chicago. There is also what is known as "pay to play" politics here in Illinois, big time. That is where people who give money to politicians receive favors from the tax payer in return. Our state budget is a disaster, our gun laws stink, our schools suck. All because of Chicago. A vote for Obama is a vote for disaster. Trust me, he and his minions have destroyed Illinois. Do you want "the machine" destroying America? He is a political crook, throuh and through. I guess he does has a nice smile and a slick tounge, but who cares?
