Answer 1

obama has na- nine none nothing.., but a great voice, and he has command, if he wins. good bye america as we know it.

Answer 2

Obama was a community organizer (nobody seems to know -what- that is).

He also is a first term junior Senator who has spent his entire time in the Senate running for President. He doesn't often show up to actually vote, but he is pretty regular about getting his (taxpayer funded) check.

That about sums it up.

Almost forgot - He attended a Church where the Rev (Wright) regularly delivered sermons condemning White people and America as a nation, but recently left that Church.

And he bought himself a pretty nice Mansion with the help of a convicted felon he funneled 14 million to.^

Answer 5

Sarah Palin is a Hunter and Obama is a Gun Grabber

Answer 6

Governor Palin's record is not terribly impressive for a vice presidential pick.  The state of Alaska is among the least populated...not exactly New York or Florida or Nevada... you know?

Most of Palin's experience consists of serving as mayor of a town with less than 10,000 people!

Answer 7

Um... uh.... er... I think he voted absent or something once...um...er... present...143 days.. way too tired to continue.. I better run for president.

Answer 8

WHO CARES?? Bush has 'experience' and look at the mess we're in. Lincoln had none and he was one of the greats... who also had great speeches btw

Answer 9

Community organizer and a senator for ...140 days I think.

Answer 10

Within his short period in the senate, he has served in the Foreign relations, environmental, public works, veteran's affairs commitees, as well having assignments on the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions and Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs comittees. He is chairman of the European affairs subcommitee. He worked for years as a community organizer in Chicago and an illinois state senator, during which he passed important legislation and helped a great many people.

What has palin done in her years as mayor and governor? She fired people for disagreeing with her political views and has violated federal environmental protections to expand the oil industry. What has she done that is beneficial? Nothing. What has she done that even has to do with any other country, let alone foreign policy? Nothing.

Now, to have not been in the senate for years and years is not necessarily a bad thing. It can mean that you have not become part of the problem in Washington, people like John McCain. But at a certain point, when you have never even been confronted with a foreign policy question, that just goes to far.

And John McCain, being likely to kick the bucket in office if elected, would hand the country over to such a person.

Answer 11

Lets see......he was in D.C. for over 100 days

of work (where he mostly voted "present"), but

since then has spent his days still getting paid

to run for president. Experience? Not Much.

Palin's experience: Ran affairs of a town

as Mayor, elected to then be Governor of

Alaska. Sounds like fine credentials, as well

as being a good housewife with one

husband for 20 years and 5 beautiful

children.

Answer 12

OK, here goes:

That didn't take long huh?

Answer 13

i can sum it up real quick

http://chroniclesofconception.files.word...

Answer 14

call oprah  

Answer 15

SORRY CAN'T SHOW YOU WHAT DON'T EXIST ----PALEN ON THE OTHER HAND HAD TO MAKE MORE SNAP DECISIONS PER MONTH AS A GOVERNOR THAN OBAMA HAS IN HIS TIME AS A SENATOR

Answer 16

Obama - Washington for 143 days

Palin - governor of 670,000 for 20 months

McCain\Palin 2008

Answer 17

ah,um,uh gee,well,um.............

Answer 18

All I can say JeanE your answer rocked!

And he is running for president she is on the ticket as V.P. -- he pales in comparison to her standards and her real evidence of change.  

I only hear and see him talk about it.

Answer 19

Here we go again with the experience.  It was okay when McCain did it? Now it comes back around to Palin, boo hoo.

Answer 20

he's the leader of al qaeda since 1988.  osama has 20 years of experience.

Answer 21

He picked Biden over Clinton.  I think that shows experience,  er, lack of, but experience none the same.

Answer 22

I did a little research to compare Palin’s record with Obama’s. Palin’s experience is comparable, but her accomplishments are much more impressive.

From 1992-1996 when Palin served on the City Council of Wasilla, Obama was teaching part time at the University of Chicago Law School and working in private practice part time.

In 1996 when Obama was elected to the Illinois State Senate, Palin was elected Mayor of Wasilla, AK.. Obama worked for legislation that would provide tax credits and subsidies to private devilopers of affordable housing. Tony Rezko received over $87 million in government funds to renovate and maintain affordable housing units, many of them in Obama’s disctrict. Many of these units lacked heat, had leaking roofs and were infested by rodents. Palin ran her small but growing city with a budget just under six million dollars and about 50 employees, and was reelected in 1999.

In 2003, Palin was appointed to the  Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission. When she uncovered corruption in the organization, and was unable to get Governor Murkowski to take action, she resigned in protest and filed charges again the offenders, taking on entrenched corruption in Alaskan politics, This fight led her to run against Gov. Murkowski in the primary, and then go on to become Alaska’s first female governor in 2006.



In 2004, Obama was elected to the US Senate. The developers who had received government funding as a result of legislation sponsored by Obama served on his campaign finance committee. Many of the buildings they had purchased with government funding were seized for code violations, or foreclosed, and the low-income residents were forced to find housing elsewhere. In 2008, Governor Palin worked with the legislature to provide Alaskans a $1200 rebate from state revenues, and successfully arranged for the development of the Transcanada Pipeline to transport natural gas from Alaska to the lower 48 states.

Answer 23

sure

Obama served as a community activist, then in the Illinois senate, then as a US senator in the foreign relations committee... 24 years of helping the community... Palin has beauty queen and stay at home mom in her resume

lol

Answer 24

well...ummmm....O YES THAT ONE TIME...wait no that wasnt him...

You know what i think.

He woke up one day and was like I think i'll run for president and since im black everyone will vote for me, because they dont want to be accused of being racist.

I am NOT racist.

In no shape or form am i racist

It's just what i think he was thinking.

Got lucky too cuz dems are to scared to speak up.

Answer 25

What experience? He got elected to senate then started to campaign for president but never did anything at the senate

Answer 26

Is it me or did Bush have experience.. now are countries at all time low and everyones having money trouble b.c of this stupid war were in. I don't really think experience is an importance..even though both candidates have it. What this country needs is a change and i don't think that mccain has any interest in changing, the way we need him to change it. Obama i feel will change this country for the better if people can get past race and religion!
