Obama and I Finally Agree on Something
OK, so you know how I keep saying - “tell me one big thing that Obama has done, other than get elected?” Well, I guess he agrees with me!
In bashing Palin, the best thing he can come up with in his “vast” bag of experience is his own presidential campaign! HAHA!
Obama told CNN on Monday that Palin’s level of experience as a former mayor of tiny Wasilla, Alaska, did not match his own, citing the size of his campaign.
“My understanding is that Gov. Palin’s town, Wasilla, has I think 50 employees. We’ve got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million dollars a year — we have a budget of about three times that just for the month,” Obama had said. (from Reuters)
I guess he is forgetting that she is also a state governor, with more direct responsibility for “getting something done” than a state or federal senator will ever have.
Look at Mr. Obama’s history. He was in school until 1991, worked on something called “Project Vote” for one year, and then was an attorney for 4 years before being elected to the Illinois state senate. He’s only been at the federal level for 4 years, with the last one or more of those having been focused on his presidential campaign. Talk about a bunch of mostly no-direct-responsibility jobs.
This is the best guy to run the country?
Most people like Obama because he is so articulate. I say, the only reason why Obama is so good at talking in public is because ALL he does is talk! He hasn’t really DONE anything yet… Do we really want his “big” test to be as the President of the US?
At least McCain has gone through real hardship, was in the navy for 22 years and has been in either the federal House or Senate since 1982. Twenty six years experience!
Yeah, he’s a freakin’ dud when it comes to speeches, but who cares? His experience is infinitely more important than his speech making ability. *SIGH* I can’t believe I’m defending McCain.
Honestly now… These two guys are the best people our country can produce at this moment?
Lord help us.
To quote a line from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off: I weep for the future…
McCain, Obama, 2008 Election

I don’t get why the Presidential front runner would compare himself to the VP candidate.
I’ve never seen so much FUD and crap slung over a VP (!!) choice before. It’s all pretty pathetic and desperate.
An aside- I was in line at a store the other day, and I heard a woman in line behind me talking to some other people in line: “…they SAY they support women, but then they don’t put one on the ticket! I’m sick of it!” Several other people she was talking to whole-heartedly agreed. I had to chuckle. I figured they were some Hillary supporters royally pissed off now that the Rep ticket has a woman on it, and the Dems don’t. Political correctness coming home to bite the Democrat Party on it’s behind.
The Dems have done such a good job of pandering to people based on every USELESS criteria under the sun (gender, race, sexual preference. legal status) that unless they put a gay, black, transgendered, illegal alien, woman on the ticket… some block of the pandered-to are going to feel left out and pissed off at them!
Way to make the things that no one is supposed to make a big deal out of… into a constant BIG DEAL.
To me, too much of politics is the art of making the trivial, and the hopelessly shallow and stupid, become the most pressing and important thing imaginable. I mean, the experience level of a front runner that compares himself to the other side’s VP choice? Who cares about that, that would actually involve SUBSTANCE, and wouldn’t fit in a snippy little soundbite. Better to focus on race, gender, feigned outrage over some dumb comment, or some other litle detail.. now THAT’S the important stuff.
HAHA! I’ve long suspected, but have just confirmed that you ARE the smartest man on the planet.
Man, you hit the nail on the head. “Lets not bother with real issues, lets distract with BS topics and keep people confused, so that they only vote based upon their feelings, which are much easier to manipulate than facts!”
Ha! Well, coming from they guy who really is the world’s smartest man, I’ll certainly take that as a compliment!
Now if only some of the other world’s smartest people would actually run for office??
Agreed - where have all the good ones gone? Eh, they are too smart to run for office…
[...] While I applaud Palin as a vice-presidential candidate choice in the face of the opposition, I don’t think she has enough experience to be president. Fortunately, she’s the VICE PRESIDENTIAL candidate. Hello Libs, the VP has no power. She doesn’t have enough experience to have the power. She has more than Obama, but not enough. Why the hell do the Dems seem to be making this election between Obama and Palin? Yes, if McCain dies, she will be President. But, the Dems bemoaning this point? How stupid! Last I checked, Palin has a LOT more experience actually running things than Obama. Remember, the only thing that Obama can come up with to demonstrate his leadership potential is his own campaign!
