Obama's experience

[SoonerCoug]

Got to love the way white Republican Bush voters (Romney included) love to slam Obama for lack of experience.

Was GW Bush better qualified than Obama?

Obama retorts by saying that "good judgment" is the most important thing a president can have. It doesn't matter how much experience a person has if they apply their experience to do bad things. He has a point.

Does Bush suck? Yes he does. But he at least sucked at being a governor before he sucked at being the President.

At first, it was amusing. Now it's just tiring that Obama skirts the issue every damn time his lack of experience is brought up. He's trying his best to get the country to ignore that he has no experience. Obama has nothing and he knows it.

What good judgment does he exhibit by befriending a racial bigot in Pastor Wright?

By actively promoting as the most aggressive abortion proponent on record?

By suggesting we eliminate the current pro investment capital position?

By suggesting unilateral unsafe withdrawal from Iraq?

By socializing medicine with the most massive build-up of a health care bureaucracy to further burden health care workers and patients alike?

By concealing his zealous abortion promotion through the carefully cloaked message of "present" instead voting honestly No?

What good judgment are you speaking of?

You're correct experience is irrelevant and we should elect the most inexperienced person with BAD judgment.

I'll jump in here briefly before Cali posts "experience doesn't matter" and ask: did Bush "suck" as governor? Are you familiar with his record there at all? He left office pretty popular.

Well, I'm just trying to give Obama the benefit that whatever he's done, he hasn't sucked at it. It just hasn't been anything that would give him experience to be President.

You are absolutely right. People should never vote for someone who is barely removed from the Illinois state legislature and whose work experience prior involved being a lawyer. That could only turn out to be a disaster.

Just look at this guy. What a mess.

Better that the person serve as governor first. That should ensure success.

Like these guys:

Or, for Republicans, I know they loved this one:
