Which is ample preparation for the presidency, 3 years as a "community organizer" or 143 days in the senate?

Question

Since there's not much else on Obama's resume, it must be one of these. Otherwise, he wouldn't make the presumption of running for an office that's "above his pay grade", unless he were a complete narcissist who's been duped into believing he can do the job. But, feel free to write in some other valuable experience I may have missed.

Answer 1

Neither make him experienced to be president. Bush was the Governor of Texas before he was elected president. At least that is executive experience.

Answer 2

It must be the 143 days in the senate - because I have more than 3 years as a community organizer and I know I'm not qualified.

Or maybe it's his world experience.

Answer 3

Don't forget that life as a US citizen for 46 years gives him plenty of experience with handling most of the problems this country is facing today.

He can do the job. It will be a tough one after all of Bush's grievous mistakes, foolish decisions, disastrous blunders, and utter disregard for the Constitution. He will do a much better job, as compared to McCain, who has no new ideas. McCain doesn't even know how many homes he has. My goodness, if he doesn't know or refuses to submit an accurate number means he doesn't deserve to have the office. McCain's too old, and too much the same as Bush to deserve the job. Besides we as a country cannot afford McCain.  

Answer 4

I know of no other experience, my teen age son would make a better President then Obama

Answer 5

It depends on your integrity, what you did while doing those jobs, what vision you have for the country and how you treat people.  

Answer 6

What does the constitution say about preparation for becoming president? The problem today is we have been led to believe someone needs years of experience. Republicans picked G.W. Bush over McCain when McCain had more experience. So what was you saying about experience?

Answer 7

Additionally, Obama spent 8 yrs as a state legislator. And that's more experience in that position than any President since Lincoln.
