John Kerry says Obama's national security experience consists of a trip

Starting at 2:39, on youtube clip of ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, August 31, 2008:

On Governer Sarah Palin:

KERRY: ...You know, she may be — I mean, I’m sure she’s a terrific person. I’m not attacking her. I think John McCain’s judgment is once again put at issue, because he’s chosen somebody who clearly does not meet the national security threshold, who is not ready to be president tomorrow. And there’s just no way to...

STEPHANOPOULOS: You heard Senator Graham, though. He said that she has more experience than Senator Obama.

KERRY: That’s just ridiculous on its face. I mean, John — you know, Barack Obama has been in the United States Senate. He has not been absent more than he’s been there. She’s been a governor for, what, the two years now, Barack Obama and the four years?

But, moreover, Barack Obama has traveled abroad. Look at the trip Barack Obama took. I mean, it is remarkable to me that the Republicans would try to denigrate a trip that a candidate for president takes where he attracts more — more attention, more support, if you will, than a sitting president of the United States of America.

Kerry is too modest about The Obamassiah’s trips.

According to his memoir he travelled early and often:

“Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it.”

Not suprised that a loser will make this kind of remark. The analogy I used to an Obama supporter in my office goes as follows: by visiting my doctor’s office many times, I will become a medical expert. (Actually, what I said was, “if I visit a gynecologist’s office many times I’ll become an expert at....”).

Kerry and Pelosi really need to shut up and go away. They really aren’t helping Obama with these inanities.

This coming from a guy that chose John Edwards as his running mate?

Talk about a typical hypocrite. Kerry is amazingly proficient at it.

John Edwards vs Sarah Palin. Hands down Palin 7 days a week

Well, I’ve made five trips to Ukraine, a diplomatic flashpoint. I get to be president, not you!

If anything should automatically disqualify anyone from being president, it is from serving in the Senate. The Senate, a place where many go to grow more stupid.

ROTFLMAO
Most of them now have advanced degrees in stupidity and way too many of them major in outright idiocy...

Someone should ask Obama how much blow he can afford now, with all that money he & Michelle are making.
