It’s amazing that a reporter would let Obama get away with comparing Palin’s FORMER job as mayor to the job of his current CAMPAIGN CHIEF.

Obama of course doesn’t run his campaign. In fact, earlier in this year, when he claimed there were 57 states, he also admitted that he wanted to go to the other two states, but his campaign wouldn’t LET HIM.

He isn’t in charge.

This IS laughable, but, sadly, there are far too many morons out there that will buy into this.

I cannot believe how low our country has fallen, that a totally unqualified racist like Obama can be considered a serious candidate for President of the United States.

To turn a phrase from Obama’s racist mentor: Not God Bless America, God SAVE America.

“... Wolf Blitzer was going on and on about ... Troopergate ...”

I saw this also; Blitzer’s performance was a new low, even for DNCNN. I thought at the time that his reference to “Troopergate” might backfire, as the original “Troopergate” refers to the practice of Arkansas State Troopers pimping female state employees for then-Governor Bill Clinton.

Obama claims to have more experience than Palin

So Obama claims he is qualified to be VP?

He has run a campaign for 2 years is the best he can summon for experience.

That's like claiming someone can go directly from two years of Little League into the Majors.

She's a governor of a huge state, with a $9B budget.

The MSM, Obama and his minions conveniently ignore that fact. They know that that fact alone totally trumps his ~140 days as 1 of 100 state senators.

Actually, they DID edit the headline.

Now it says “Obama defends natural disaster experience”.

Unless that is what it always said and the original poster made up a headline.

So his campaign is his experience?

Crazy ain't he!

That's like making a case for having job experience because you've filled out a lot of applications.

Obama's handlers need to keep a closer watch on this idiot.

>Our ability to manage large systems and to execute I think has been made clear over the past couple of years and certainly in terms of the legislation I’ve passed in the past couple of years, post-Katrina.”<

What legislation has Mr. “Present” actually passed?

Anyone have link?

So, Obama is experienced at running for political office and raising money from his fellow elitist socialist and leftwing comrades. And Palin is experienced at working within budgets to benefit average citizens, free governemnt of corruption and reducing taxes. And Obama’s point is what?

I love how CNN shut down the comments. Every one of them is gushing love for the Messiah. The article posted at 7:10pm eastern and the last was @ 9:35pm eastern....

I guess it wouldn't be good for business to allow us "normal folk" to point out how pathetic Cooper's Q&A session was.

She's the state governor Cooper... We all realize that Wikipedia is the extent of your investigative reporting capabilities but dang, it's right there in the first two sentences.. It's difficult to miss even for you!!

"Sarah Louise Heath Palin (pronounced /ˈpeɪlɪn/; born February 11, 1964) is the current governor of the U.S. state of Alaska, and is the presumptive Republican vice presidential nominee in the 2008 United States presidential election.

Palin was sworn in as the governor of Alaska on December 4, 2006, becoming the first woman and youngest person to hold the office."

Obama can't believe that some think Palin has more experience.

Obama is such a jerk.

He compares the experience he has gained as a candidate for President, to Sarah Palin’s experience when she was mayor.

The proper comparison is experience as a U.S. Senator (4 years), to her experience as a Governor (2 years) and as a Chair of the state Oil and Gas Commission (2 years).

Another proper experience is his experience, prior to being a U.S. Senator, which was a a state Senator (8 years), to Sarah Pain’s prior expeirence as a Mayor (6 years) and a member of the city council (4 years).

I think you can see that, in terms of years of experience, Governor Palin has as much or more at level comparable to Obama.

The main difference is executive experience versus legislative experience, and record of accomplishment. Palin has these things, and Obama doesn’t.

Obama has fallen back on the old maxim,”If you can’t dazzle ‘em with brilliance, baffle ‘em with bullsheet”.

I can’t get this out of my head. I read about this on another thread this morning and I am still stunned by the stupidity. Does Obamanation realize what he said? I would love to tell him what he said. He said, “I am running against Mayor Palin.” Which isn’t true and he can’t get her title right it is Governor Palin. He said, “I have been neglecting my job in the Senate.” That is a good thing though, he votes “Present”. So he is just a liar all around, because alluding to Governor Palin as being a Mayor of a small town is a huge lie of ommision. I hope that McCain and Palin use this in their next campaign ad.

If you owned a Dairy Queen, would you hire Obama for cash register duties, with his work experience and questionable friends/mentors as references?

Obama's not qualified for a minimum wage position at Dairy Queen that would require cash handling. (Most American teenagers would be more qualified for the job than Obama).

In other words, Obama, is not qualified to handle any position dealing with the American Taxpayers money.

Of course, Obama isn't qualified to be Commander in Chief either.
