I’m not fan of Obama, while I am a fan of Lincoln.

I was merely pointing out Lincoln’s remarkable lack of executive experience prior to being elected. Despite being considerably older, he had little or no more executive experience than Obama. Nevertheless, he proved to be a consummately effective Chief Executive, to the point that I believe if anybody else had been president at the time secession would have worked.

This doesn’t mean I think Obama is another Lincoln. It means that our rating of people, such as Lincoln, Obama and Palin, on their “experience” is not necessarily an indication of how well they will perform once in office.

Bull. Lincoln had military experience - something Zero can only dream of.
