"Wow. That's foreign policy for ya!"
The way you get foreign policy experience is by being in Washington, but Obama is the first senator elected president since Kennedy, and he was a novice with basically zero foreign policy experience. But no journalist ever asked him the question they asked Palin, to put her on the spot.
Since Kennedy, we have mainly elected governors as president: Carter, Reagan, Clinton, GW Bush. Obviously, foreign policy experience was not something they had. Nixon and Bush Sr and LBJ were the only post-Kennedy presidents who were really steeped in foreign policy experience.

Obama can’t even recite his own damn name without a teleprompter and people want to say that Sarah Palin is unqualified to be President..I find that laughable.
