Anderson Cooper asked Barack Obama last night to answer the claim that Sarah Palin has more applicable experience than he does. In response, he completely ignores Palin’s status as governor, and then makes the claim that a campaign counts as executive experience:
BO: Well, you know, my understanding is that, uh, Governor Palin’s town of Wasilly [sic] has, uh, 50 employees, uh, uh, we’ve got 2500, uh, in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year. Uh, uh, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month. Uh, so I think that, uh, our ability to manage large systems, uh, and to, uh, execute, uh, I think has been made clear over the last couple of years. Uh, and certainly, in terms of, uh, the legislation that I’ve passed just dealing with this issue post-Katrina, uh, of how we handle emergency management. The fact that, uh, many of my recommendations were adopted and are being put in place, uh, as we speak indicates to extent to which we can provide the kinds of support and good service that the American people expect. AC: Some Republican critics say, you don’t have the experience to handle a situation like this [Hurricane Gustav]. They’ve in fact said that Governor Palin has more executive experience as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state like Alaska. What’s your response?

Obama says blah blah...
Do you think Obama’s adoring media will ever figure out that when they do unscripted interviews with him he just comes off looking like a fool?
What is this phantom legislation that Obama speaks of and why haven;t we heard of it before?
I’ve actually seen this echoed in almost half of all liberal posts defending Obama’s experience when compared to Palin.
“Obama has run one of the most masterful campaigns in history!” as evidence of executive experience.
Yeah,like playing the race card constantly during the primaries and happening to be black is the same thing as executive experience ...
Bambi should have just played President on some TV series and then claimed to have the only actual POTUS experience.
Aren’t we at war with these people? Muslims, I mean. Why would we want to elect one as a president?
Arrogant Obama...uh, uh, uh...forgot his...uh, uh, uh...homework.
either that or he inadvertantly washed the written answers off his hands.
He also inaccurately did not compare himself to the Govenor's budget and responsibilities he used her previous job as mayor and when she was mayor of a town--Obama was a community organizer!!
The immensely articulate Obama says blah, blah in-between uh, uh, uh, uh....
Obama's position on this is surreal. Can you imagine him in a true town hall debate setting. "Uh, we can't do a town hall uh debate because uh, Palin has a natural advantage uh seeing as she uh ran one while I uh only had a ward to heal."
(And their I go, falling into the same trap of Obama running against Palin. John, you magnificent bastard!)
““Obama has run one of the most masterful campaigns in history!”
Little early to predict this, aren’t they?
The answer will be known in November.
More like:
Uh.. blah.. uh.. blah blah.. uh...
“...while I uh only had a ward to heal.”
Was that a ward or a wart?
LOL.
Geez I’m tired of this experience debate between their top guy and our Veep (a Trophy Veep at that). You’d think the Dems would be embarrassed by it. Anyway, here’s my theory:
If Gov. Palin becomes President she too can pick a white guy who has been in the senate for over 30 years to give comfort to the drive-bys, just like B. Hussein did.
Yeah, he’s “immensely articulate”, but is he “clean”? (think Rezko, Wright, Ayers, etc...)
uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh, uh
He be so articulate!
Oh like how your campaign immediately trashed Sarah Palin and then you had to make a statement refuting that. Or how many of your campaign staff have you had to throw under the bus because what they have said or done. If that's your resume of leadership I'm scared.
Uh, I, uh, think that, uh she, uh needs, uh, more experience , uh, in the the public, uh forum, uh especially , uh speaking...................
