CNN's Roberts: Palin Too Young and Inexperienced
NewsBusters.org ^ | 8/29/2008 | Lyndsi Thomas

Posted on 08/29/2008 9:27:37 AM PDT by Pyro7480

During the 9 a.m. EDT hour of “CNN Newsroom,” “American Morning” co-anchor John Roberts gave an analysis of Governor Sarah Palin during discussion of Senator John McCain's vice presidential choice. Roberts focused on Palin's lack of experience, saying that a prerequisite for the vice presidency should be the ability to step right into the office, especially because of McCain's age. Roberts stated:

She's only been in office for a couple of years now, which really raises the experience issue here.
[...]

Now, she is a manager. She is the governor of a state. She does have limited experience, though. She's also been the mayor for a city in Alaska. And for a time she was the ethics chairman of the Alaska oil and gas conservation commission. But that does not add up to broad experience, particularly the type of broad experience you think should launch you to the national level.

Please let them make experience an issue because hers blows Obama’s experience out of the water.

And Obama has ZERO executive experience and about 100 days in the Senate. Obama hasn’t even been in office long enough to chair one meeting for the one committee he is suppose to be running.

CNN is just shaking in their boots. Experience??? Compared to a certain senator from Illinois who did close to nothing, surely John Roberts just proved he’s a tool for the Dem-led MSM.

CNN is mad because John McCain just said to the Democrats -

YOU JUST GO ON RAINING AND WE’LL JUST KEEP ON BEING THE PARADE!

She’s a governor and a former mayor, and 2 years younger than Obama. This is a rope-a-dope to nail Obama in the dem’s own words. Love it.

I just love it! The MSM shouldn't really come out with that argument. Their Golden Boy has ZERO foreign policy and executive government experience. It shows just how much in the tank they are for Obama!

LOL! And what's really great, is that the McCain team has showed that they're more than willing to make ads that say so.

If Palin is too young and inexperienced, what does that make Obama? Barry might as well be running for student council president.
