Spill reveals Obama's lack of executive experience
The Washington Times ^ | June 8, 2010 | Byron York

In mid-February 2008, fresh from winning a bunch of Super Tuesday primaries, Barack Obama granted an interview to "60 Minutes" correspondent Steve Croft. "When you sit down and you look at [your] resume," Croft said to Obama, "there's no executive experience, and in fact, correct if I'm wrong, the only thing that you've actually run was the Harvard Law Review."

"Well, I've run my Senate office, and I've run this campaign," Obama said.

No one questioned the idea that running a campaign for President qualified you to be President. In other words, the logic of that idea suggests Obama was unqualified to be President prior to running for President, and it was only by running for President that he became qualified to be President.

We see the result of this liberal insanity. This is what happens when someone who was known for voting "Present" as a legislator, and with no executive leadership experience, becomes President.

Without skipping a beat, the left will decry Palin’s lack of experience when she runs.

he seems to think that if he gets all emotional and thorws enough temper tantrums, that people will thin that he’s forecful and executive, when real executives gather all the facts, act dispassionately, and make deliberate decisions.

He's running something now . . . he's running our country into socialism."

And he negotiated a book deal to publish his autobiography before he’d ever accomplished anything of note.

The Dem party media AND John McCain’s campaign did not question Obama’s credentials nor background for the position of President in any way or to in any competent degree. Many citizens did but they were told to shut up or were ignored.

At least it's a good example of delegation. :)

Surprised he failed to mention his stint on the board of Annenberg school grants. Of course, that program was a complete and utter failure and waste of money, but it's (stated) intent, not results, that matter ot a liberal, right?

As he said during the campaign about "when does life begin" (which is a quantifiable moment he was unwilling to concede EVEN WHEN A BABY SURVIVES AN ABORTION AND IS BORN ALIVE BREATHING UNDER HIS OR HER OWN LUNGPOWER UNASSISTED FOR HOURS LEFT TO DIE IN A UTILITY CLOSET AT A HOSPITAL), this is "above my pay grade".

The public hired someone who is not up to the job. What can he do? Not much, he was a community agitator. He never held a real job in his life.
