Executive experience was a focus of the 2008 campaign. In the nascent days of my supporting Gov. Palin, I had noted that of the four people on both tickets, she was the only one with any executive experience whatsoever. The man at the top of her ticket – John McCain – has no executive experience. Neither did candidate Biden. Candidate Obama only had for his non-Senatorial (state and federal) resume, community organizing, and an editor’s position on Harvard Law Review – though what he edited there remains a state secret. I have often written that while Obama was a fantastic fund-raiser and would have made a great used car salesman, he would not be fit to be president of the dealership.
One does not simply get executive experience. It is gained on a scale of progression. In the private sector, the first rung on the ladder to the executive suite is front line supervisor, then department manager, and so on.
Put aside “R,” “D,” right, left, liberal, and conservative. Obama never traveled this road in either the public or private sectors. He never held a leadership position of any kind. He never was even a front line supervisor. Today, Byron York, of the Washington Examiner vindicated my thoughts held since those fledgling days in “the Sarah business.” York wrote, “Obama ignored Palin’s experience as governor of Alaska, which was considerably bigger than the Obama campaign.” Ridiculously, Obama cited as executive experience his campaign for President. York continued, “Fast forward to 2010. The oil leak in the Gulf of Mexico is gushing out of control. The Obama administration is at first slow to see the seriousness of the accident.

I hope she does not have one
I just finished reading her book (it was further down on a long list). So much there that we weren’t told...all of which would have come in very handy during the trails we have faced in the last 2 years. However, a deluded population chose speechifying over experience, talent, and insight.
So Gov. Palin’s experience is akin to Teri Hatcher’s boobs?
Real and Spectacular???
Shouldn’t Todd be the only one to comment on that?
Come on now!
This thread is going downhill fast - ping
0bie never made the leap from fry cook to grill boy to shift supervisor, let alone into any executive position. Much as I'm not a fan of McLame, I would count being a senior officer in the Navy as executive experience, which puts the 2008 GOP ticket miles ahead of 0bie and Plugs in experience.
Opinion from bunches of reading on the matter, and conclusion under category of “What else could it be?”
Obama was fronted by a Leftist organization as a figurehead to do as he is told by said Leftist organization.
This “President” is nothing but a front man for a criminal lot with their eye on the ultimate prize, a World to fleece free of any fears of the big guy with the Red, white, and Blue hat, and the white horse riding down on them, and busting their party.
The U.S.A. was, and has been the law where otherwise lawlessness would reign.
This alleged “President” is doing as he is told by his bosses to destroy this Nation IMO.
His experience means nothing under the circumstances, nor Palin’s, or anyone’s for that matter. NOT when it’s not about experience, but doing as one is told to do.
The future First Couple of the United States: Sarah Palin and the First Dude.
"Real and Spectacular" just about covers it!
And -- for the lady FReepers -- Da-yum! -- he even makes a PINK plaid shirt look good!
Cheers!
Obama wouldn't know how to start at the bottom. Seems there's always been a spot for him on the fast track. He's the embodiment of the Peter Principle.
Al baby, you’re a pig. If you pulled a stunt like that in person on my wife, I’d cut it off.
Oh, yeah, that too.
bttt
Oh Dude get over yourself
