Just as Rick Perry was the longest-serving governor of Texas (the weakest governorship in all the United States, by design), Ted Cruz was the longest-serving solicitor general in Texas history, along with being an assistant US attorney, a Bush campaign & presidency advisor, winner of Bush vs. Gore, a leading private attorney and professor and a FTC department head. To compare Mr. Obama's resume to his is ludicrous, much less their documented educational backgrounds.

the author thinks obama’s experience was adequate but not cruz’s. Obama already set a low bar now he wants to move the bar for others

As for Cruz, he is not ready for prime-time, ....In a pig's eye!
Who the Hell is this punk or feeble writer?
Not even qualified to polish Senator's Cruz's shoes.

Cruz has tons more experience than Obama in terms of experience that matters.
Herzik is a second rate Poli Sci prof at a third rate university. That the Austin desk of this rag needed to quote Herzik immediately disqualifies the message and characterizes it as not serious.

Or even lick them, for that matter.

Enrique here is out of the Austin bureau. In Austin, you need a sieve to tell who’s a Texan and who’s from Moscow.
This guy makes it pretty clear, maybe.

Yes, but Obama knew billionaire terrorist William Ayers, who picked him out, brought him along, and launched him into thug Chicago politics. Add that he can read a heck of a teleprompter, it was a potent combination. No experience needed.

He sees the debate through pre existing bias. Back bencher state senator, or arguing cases before SCOTUS on behalf of Texas? Which takes more wherewithall?

Not just for Texas. Al Gore would’ve become president had Cruz not written that brief. It makes me shudder just thinking about it. He was even Boehner’s lawyer in that wiretapping case. He was a fireman that put out huge legal conflagrations for the big boys.

You can’t talk about Obama’s experience without mentioning ice cream scooping.
That counts for something, doesn’t it?

Bottom line is that Cruz has ‘Gravits’. The naked Emperor can only dream of.

Mooshelle wants to suppress any mention of ice cream in connection with Barack. We are all gonna die cuz we ate that extra scoop of vanilla bean ice cream.

Perry was left out for three good reasons. He doesn’t excite a broad spectrum of voters, he doesn’t speak well under pressure, and . . . um . . . I forgot the third reason.

Many people criticized (President) Barack Obama for not having enough experience but Cruz has a lot less, Herzik explained. Hes been a senator for two years and now he is running for president.
At least Obama served four years in the (U.S) Senate and had been a state senator (for seven years in Illinois).
I realize reporters aren’t all that great in math, but I think this one is simply FLAT OUT LYING. Even reporters hoping to get a Bachelor’s Degree have to take at least one math class in college.
Obama was US Senator from 2005 to 2009 (4 years)
Cruz* will be US Senator from 2013 to 2017 (4 years)
(*if he wins)
The math isn’t that hard.

Cruz's experience (and brains) go way beyond "rabble-rousing-agitator".
It's getting to be pathetic how they keep taking ineffectual swipes and never seem to be in touch with any form of reality.
