Rather hard for you to convince me that commanding generals lack executive experience. I can accept the JFK and Lincoln examples.
Though Cruz did make a valid case that he was the executive for a large state agency. Obama never ran so much as a paper route.
Barack Obama had the neuticals to claim that his experience to be president came from running a “successful” presidential campaign.
"But that’s not the operative issue when executive experience is the question. The practical question is whether he has the kind of skills the Republican governors he’s competing against use every day and which most closely approximate the ones a president needs."
None of the men I mentioned were governors.
I don’t know if you remember, but Obama claimed that running his first presidential campaign gave him enough executive experience.
Now, now, be nice. Obama surely does have some paper experience - like rolling papers for his weed and the Choom Gang.
