Why does Obama question Palin's experience?

Question

Palin has been governor of Alaska for two years and before that was a 3 term mayor. When obama started his presidential campaign, he had only two years of senate experience and before that was a part of the state senate. So why exactly is Obama questioning her experience when they have almost the same resume and Obama is the one running for president.

Answer 1

She was governor for 1 and a half years, she was a mayor of a small city and a governor of a city with fewer people than Los Angeles. It's McCain's  hypocrisy that bothers us.  

Answer 2

It is best described by the word   chutzpah: "unmitigated effrontery or impudence, gall, audacity or nerve."

Answer 3

Because the Reps put someone into the equation that pretty boy Obama has no idea of how to handle

Answer 4

Because Obama has wisdom and judgement and is not centered on the Republican right.  Besides, 3/4 of the country questions Palin, including the Alaskan officials regarding a court case she is involved in concerning an abuse of power.

Answer 5

because he's an imbecile married to a terrorist and is upset because McCain picked a gorgeous woman10 times smarter than Biden and can't stand it knowing there isn't anything wrong with her//// man he must be going crazy////

Answer 6

Because Palin has only been governor for 2 years of ALASKA. I doubt her experience also, along with Obama.  

Answer 7

Because he just doesn't know how to keep his foot out of his mouth. Obama is a fool.

Answer 8

For everyone who question Obama's ability at being an executive think about this for a minute. He's running a $100 million campaign with over 1000 staffers and has been extremely successful for 18 months now

I'd say that negates any criticism about his ability to run something now doesn't it

Answer 9

It's a catch 22.  It's stupid of the Obama campaign to harp on the experience issue but it was also stupid of McCain to pick a running mate with so little experience after harping on the experience issue himself and specifically saying that he would pick someone who was ready to be commander-in-chief the first day.  I think it's being brought up by the Obama campaign to show hypocrisy but, unfortunately, they can't do that without showing their own.

It could be argued, however, that Obama represents far more people as senator than Palin does as governor.  There are less than 1 million people in Alaska.  I'm pretty sure the population of Chicago alone could rival that.
