Perception is everything in this game. Obama may have only been senator for 2, 3, or 4 years (however you want to chop it up) but he didn’t resign did he?
Yep and you are pretty much right. He had jack for experience. Except he IS president NOW. You don’t get any more experience for president than by holding the office of president.
LLS
Being in that position longer doesn’t make you experienced especially when you are making the wrong decisions.
Lincoln knew jack about the military but he had to fire, move, tell off, etc. his West Point Generals, most who did’t have a clue except for Grant and Sherman
“Yep and you are pretty much right. He had jack for experience. Except he IS president NOW. You don’t get any more experience for president than by holding the office of president.”
its actually a big disadvantage for him. He was more comfortable and popular talking “hope n change”. Now the rubber has hit the road, he’s going to have to justify the mess, the press won’t be able to deny/coverup everything. And he can’t wax lyrically about nothing.
He may be more experienced, he is way more vulnerable.
BTW, Palin did a great job taking the fight to Obama. Have you heard much about his nomination acceptance speech other then Palin put down comments in her convention speech? Romney et al have done a woeful job...it’ll continue like that.
