Obama: 'Lack of Experience My Greatest Asset,' and Other Whoppers

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Just 45 years old and two years into his first term in the U.S. Senate, Barack Obama brings to the 2008 Presidential campaign the prospect of a new generation and style of leadership, with less experience in Washington and far fewer ties to the political polarization of the past two decades there.

“My lack of experience is my greatest asset,” said Obama. “So is my ability to tell that whopper with a straight face!”

Not to be outdone, and already feeling off balance by the freshness of Obama, the other Presidential contenders quickly countered his claim.

“My lack of any moral compass is my greatest asset,” said Hillary Clinton. “That enables me to take any position that is expedient.”

“My bloopers and plagiarized speech is my greatest asset,” said Joe Biden. “Words are important, but not to me.”

“My having been a prisoner of war in Vietnam is my greatest asset,” said John McCain. “It certainly wasn’t my suggestion to increase the number of troops in Iraq!”

“My having been divorced twice and thrice married is my greatest asset,” said Rudi Giuliani. “I know what women want, even if I can’t give it to them.”

“My being a Mormon is my greatest asset,” said Mitt Romney. “Just ask my wives.”

Lack of experience IS his greatest asset. His other assets are all downhill from there.

“My being a Mormon is my greatest asset,” said Mitt Romney. “Just ask my wives.”

Romney only has one wife, and has only been married once.

The best we can hope for from this moron is he continues to smoke. Heavily. Perhaps sending him a carton of his favorite smokes would be in order. Per week, that is. Well worth the investment.

"My lack of experience is my greatest asset"

My other great asset is that when I flap my ears I can fly around the room!

BTW, Mitt Romney has only ever had ONE wife. The same cannot be said of Obammy's father, but since he's an Islamist, that's OK, right?

It was just 2004 he noted his lack of experience as rationale why he should not run for President.

An Obama campaign truthy sound-bite:
"I don't know much, but I have a deep voice and enunciate clearly. Since I'm not funny enough to be a radio personality, I think you should elect me President of the United States. Oprah thinks so, too."

"Lack of Experience My Greatest Asset"

Opponent: "My lack of experience is even greater, and thus I have an even more powerful asset."

The same cannot be said of Rudy Giuliani or John McCain either.

"Lack of Experience My Greatest Asset" .. using that reasoning, my two year old's inexperience is an even greater asset..

Reminds me of the fake shaman I encountered, who offered this remarkable philosophical observation: "To know nothing is to know everything."

Those who are old enough might remember the Amos n' Andy show, with Kingfish as the main character. Kingfish's wife would holler at him...

"My lack of experience is my greatest asset."

Ever read those "What not to say at your job interview" articles?

The statement above is listed right after, "I had a few beers on the way over to calm down."
