It's All About the "Experience"

Posted by: Carol Platt Liebau at 2:13 PM

Barack Obama thinks that his experience with natural disasters -- manifested by the "legislation I’ve passed in the past couple of years, post-Katrina” is greater than Governor Palin's. What legislation would that be, Senator? And keep in mind: Voting for a bill in the US Senate isn't the same as running a state or a town's natural disaster response teams.

He also compared heading a campaign comprised of 2500 employees to Governor Palin's experience -- as a local mayor! Unfortunately for him, unless he's managing a campaign with a $2.5 billion budget, then he's outranked by what she's managing on behalf of the people of Alaska.

As for the number of employees, she's got him there, too. He's got 2500 in his capaign. She's got many more in the state bureaucracy. In fact, 10 times as many -- 25,000.

Talk about the "audacity of hype."

Are you experienced? Palin-yes, Barack?
http://www.weeklystandard.com/weblogs/TWSFP/2008/09/ready_o n_day_one_1.asp Barack ran a really big campaign of hope. So that is important. But Jesus only ran a group of 12 guys and Barack is bigger than Jesus.

Jesus only had 12 on his payroll. Barack has a great big campaign. Feel the love and hope.

Junior Senator
At least Sarah shows up for work. After being elected the junior senator of Illinois. Obama decided he didn't want to be the junior senator. We in Illinois have been without a senator for several years now. Considering Obama's voting record in the Illinois legislature that's probably a good thing.

Hysterical
The Dems are scared to death of Sarah Palin. They are running around like chickens with their heads cut off, wondering how to handle her. Obama's comments about having more experience than Palin just oozes with insecurity. It is quite comical.

Palin vs. Biden: Little known fact

I find it more than comical that
Obama who is supposed to be running for POTUS is defending himself against a candidate who is running for VP. Obama is having to defend himself against the VP choice and the ONLY "experience" he claims to have is a campaign. Could it get any funnier. This is a brilliant move by the McCain camp.
