Why is Obama trying to call Palin inexperienced?

Question

Sarah Palin has actually served her elected office for the past 20 months, whereas Obama only served as senator for 2 months before he started campaigning for President.

Sarah Palin has actually stood up against the corrupt Republicans in her state, what did Obama do to the corrupt Chicago political machine in Illinois? Palin has a long list of accomplishments compared to Obama's Speech in 2002.

Doesn't calling the Governor of Alaska inexperienced just point the finger back at his (lack of) accomplishments?

Answer 1

Yes, it does point the finger of clarity back at Monsier Obama.  : )

Answer 2

Obama compared the running of his Campaign for President to Palin's Mayoral experience.

Obama didn't mention Palin's two years as Governor.

Hmmmmm.

Answer 3

Because he is trying to divert attention to his total lack of it.

Answer 4

If you can not deal with the truth, there is no one that can help you.  Please vote republican in November, that is if you are old enough to vote.

Answer 5

Beats me...he needs to simmer down on the topic....or look in a mirror...does he really think that just because he fooled 18 million in the primary he's going to fool the 100 million that will actually vote in November?  And I'm not saying I'm not voting for him, I will, but only because there's no one better...he's the least of the evils.

Answer 6

Do you really think she is ready to lead the country?  She is one, weak heartbeat away from the Oval Office and she has zero federal experience.

Answer 7

AMEN

Answer 8

Obama has traeled the world and has gotten the respect o world leaders, he has been campaigning for the last two years and has shown America he can handle the pressure and also has shown America he has good judgment. This lady is an unknown! What world leader has she meet and what crisis has she been through. Most people in the republican party don't even knowwho she is! Bad Choice for America!

Answer 9

I don't recall Obama calling Palin inexperience.  

Answer 10

Isn't it amazing how now Republicans are praising a Republican  who stood up to corrupt Republicans.  A Democrat who fights Republican corruption is called unpatriotic or unAmerican.  Also after controlling the White House and Congress for 6 or the last 8 years, Republican's say they want to bring in Sarah and McCain to "change" Washington by bringing in more Republicans who basically support the same major policies their party has had for the last 8 years.  I guess they call it change when you change people but keep the same policy.  That is not the change most American's are seeking.

You have to be kidding to believe that 20 months of office as governor of one of most sparsely populated states  is qualified to be President.

Answer 11

Sarah Palin is experienced... as a baby factory.

Barack Obama has 12 years of State Sentatorial Experience as well... but you guys always manage to forget that...

Answer 12

Because she is.  Her primary experience is running a small town!

Answer 13

In our house we applaud Senator John McCain for making a brilliant choice of Governor Sarah Palin as his VP running mate!

Who knows what is being said behind closed doors in the Obama tent.

Sarah IS more experienced than Barack.

Sarah has governed more than Joe.

Sarah is a woman on the ticket in 2008.

Hillary ... well Hillary has to campaign four more years.

Answer 14

He's not.

Senator Obama has never said anything like that.

That's just you wanting to put words in his mouth because you are afraid that Americans will keep wondering why Palin is a far-right fundie nutjob hypocrite who (until very recently) belonged to a political party that actually wanted to vote on *leaving* America!

That's all we need to know about her

Answer 15

Because libs believe this inoculates him from the inexperience argument.

What they don't seem to realize is this.  

(sports allegory)

They are comparing their first string quarterback to the republican second string quarterback.  Hmmmm If the opposing team has to compare their starter to the other teams second stringer, what does that say about the quality of ttheirstarter?

The more we talk about Palin, the better chance the McCain has of taking this election!

Answer 16

Pot...kettle...black.  An inexperienced person running for president calling a VP candidate inexperienced.  At least she wouldn't be trying to "wing" the presidency.  

Answer 17

Her only experience is in rifling through the computer files of her political opponents and using her power to get her ex-brother in law fired.  I'm not voting for anyone who doesn't believe in evolution.

Answer 18

Sarah Palin is unpatriotic .

Sarah Palin does not pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States. She pledges allegiance to the flag of Alaska. She was part of an Anti-American Alaskan Secessionists group in the 1990's. This lady doesn't even love America, she wants to destroy our union.

How can we put her a VP one heart beat away from an aging President?

We cannot have a VP or a potential president who was once a member of a group that wants to vote on removing itself from the United States, with some members openly taking the position that the United States is an illegal occupier of Alaska

Answer 19

Do you have proof of him saying this? he didn't say that, others have been correctly. Obama was voted to be the candidate by the people, was she? I don't think that if she had been a man she would have been picked

Answer 20

show me one video or link where Obama attacked Sarah Palin?

Every little thing that ppl say about Sarah Palin is from Obama? even though they are videos of Obama defending Palin and even praising her!

McCain is doing all the negative Ads and all the calls of inexprienced!

Answer 21

He's a noob trying to call someone else a noob. When really hes a noob.

Answer 22

Obama is a graduate of harvard law school, was a former community organizer, has taught constitutional law, has served in the illinois state senate, and the U.S. senate. He meets the threshold. That is actually a lot more experience than sarah palin. She was a former beauty queen, served as the mayor of a small town, and served as governor of Alaska for less than two years. Even if it is conceded that obama had the least experience in the campaign before she entered, she is the most inexperienced now.

Answer 23

Because everyone has been talking about his inexperience....

Answer 24

You are right. The inexperienced label will always be pinned on Obama.

Answer 25

she's inexperienced at a national government level, backwoods alaska isn't even on the political map, giving out hunting and fishing licenses and being the mayor in a town of 5,000 doesn't compare to the US senate ....what corrupt Chicago political machine ?

Answer 26

Obama was a State Senator for 8 years prior to that.

since then he's been on various Senate Committees....foreign relations, eu relations, economic, healthcare, education....homeland security...

Palin has no relevant education either....she has a BA in journalism.  She's qualified for a position as a Fox news anchor...that's about it.

Answer 27

Obama's latest commercial:

John McCain has enlisted Sarah Palin as his vice presidential nominee. Why, she's almost as inexperienced as ME!

I'm Barrack Hussein Obama and I approve of this message.

Answer 28

He wants to make sure she doesn't get a pass on the type of heat he's had to deal with for over a year now.  Also, pointing out Palin's inexperience takes some of the wind out of the McCain campaign's sails.  McCain's attacks on Obama's inexperience will look like a double standard since Palin is at least as inexperienced as Obama.  Normally inexperience wouldn't matter as much in a vice president, but John McCain will be the oldest person to ever run for a presidential first term.  The likelihood that Palin may need to step in as president is greater.

Answer 29

Because obama sure can't run on his record of accomplishments.

Answer 30

How bout it!  She has MORE EXPERIENCE THAN HE DOES!

They were shocked when McCain picked her!   This is so great to see how mad the libs get- they know McCain picked a good one while Obama blew it on his VP pick- a guy who is same old-not a change.

Answer 31

He hasn't.

Obama has said nothing but great things about her; he even defended her saying that "family is off-limits."

Be mad at Johnny boy, not Barack. He didn't pick the no-name.
