Sarah palin's experience: some say not enough?

Question

liberals are accusing republicans of being two-faced, they say obama doesnt have enough experience but they support palin now.....can i make something clear, palin IS NOT running for PRESIDENT! vice president! Palin and Obama have about the same amount of experience, obama a little more, but who is the one running for president? and also, mccain isnt dead yet people! so stop saying palin wont be experienced enough!

Answer 1

You made your point about experience very well.

May I add, Palin can proudly bring out on stage those who have known her for a long time and use them for character references.

Can Obama do that?

Answer 2

At least John McCain is ready on day one. Also Palin has executive experience; which is also a bonus against Barack Obama and Biden.

Barack Obama wasn't even a senator when the war in Iraq started; and when he was in the Illinois state legislator he was so afraid of the political backfire that he refused to vote on legislation. What does that tell you about Obama?

Answer 3

Both Senator Obama and Governor palin meet the Constitutional requirements to be President of the united States.  While in terms of years both of them have less experience than the other two but look when such years of experience has brought our nation, that isn't much of a recommendation for experience.

On the other hand, Governor Palin is the only candidate with executive experience and acting as the Commander in Chief of (in this case) the Alaskan National Guard.

But if experience is so important, look at their experience in the context of the Constitution and the delegated powers defining the federal government.  The democratic team represents an anti-constitutional approach to continued and increased socialism and the Republican team (seemingly) represents a a move back to Constitutional values.

Answer 4

She is slated for the VP slot, who cares? Is she a prudent choice? I am reminded of Geraldine Ferrora, or whatever her name was. I guess that is the point. Reagan and Bush won by one of the largest landslides in history.

She certainly brightens the grey suited middle aged posse that typically reflects the GOP, that can't hurt.

Answer 5

She's also a governor, someone who runs a state and makes decisions and has responsibilities.

Obama only has experience in legislation in which a large group of people get together and spend enormous amounts of time to decide anything.  They don't even have to decide if they don't want to as they can chose not to vote. There's no real responsibility as everything still continues on even if you do nothing.  

If he created and proposed some amazing pieces of legislature that would be different, but he hasn't.  

We need a leader, not just a follower in the crowd.  Heck with another couple years of governing experience, I'd say Palin has more relevant experience than McCain.

Answer 6

McCain SCORES big, and people...notably feminists, CAN'T handle it

Answer 7

It IS enough experience.

MORE EXPERIENCED THAN OBAMA  !

She has run a city - run a state - rattled the " ole boy network "

McCain / Palin  ' 08

Palin  ' 12

Palin  ' 16

Palin will be the first woman elected to the White House.

Palin will be the first Woman President.

Answer 8

I agree one hundred percent.

How can the Obama camp use the same argument that is used against them against someone else. They are trying to vaporize that argument of experience yet they use it against someone else. So in effect, they are shooting down their own main argument against Sarah Palin. Someone so confused(Obama) should not be running for president.

Answer 9

Obama does NOT have a little bit more.  ALso, Palin is EXECUTIVE experience, which is more important and similar to VP.

Answer 10

Not only that, would you expect anything different?  If he picked someone with more experience, then they would cry that he'd picked another lackey and talk about how he just doesn't want change.  

Answer 11

Obama cannot accuse Palin of being inexperienced without pointing at himself.  Was that a stroke of genius on McCain's part or what....LOL

Palin has EXECUTIVE experience, but Barack does NOT.  The office they both seek is in the executive branch.
