Hillary Clinton is wrong on most issues, but she is right about Barack Obama. Obama is an empty dashiki; he has no experience in any job remotely resembling the presidency of the United States. Two terms in the Illinois legislature just won't do; and a few years in the US Senate, running for President, is no experience at all.
When he departs from that magnificent speech on Hope, he tends to fumble the ball. Ideologically Senator Obama is boringly predictable. He seems smart enough to develop his thinking, but he just hasn't spent the necesssary years doing it. As a result, Senator Obama is superficial on foreign and domestic policy.
He's kootchey-koo on foreign policy in the face of fanatical opponents like Ahmadi-Nejad, Kim Jong Il, and an Al Qaida that has now found safe haven to regroup in Waziristan; Obama does the standard class envy demagogy on economics, stomping on NAFTA right alongside Hillary. Instead of HillaryCare he will bestow ObamaCare on a grateful America, and push taxation over that crucial 50% mark that locks in socialist politics for good. That is why he must run a content-free stealth campaign.

A party of the political hacks and by the political hacks. Only fools and/or the corrupt would elevate such people to positions of power.
Barack was once famously quoted as saying ... "I wouldn't want to be dog catcher in a country that would elect me President." Well ... ok ... maybe he didn't say it, but he shoulda.
Ping for later.
It may be true but rhetorically Obama is able to equate experience with some of the most demonized figures in the Bush White House. Although their popularity may be different at FR, the general public does not respond to fondly to Rumsfeld and Cheney - the scions of “experience”.
The only real space to attack Barack is on REAL issues - where he truly is out of touch with American opinion. Unfortunately, learning about and thinking about these issues is generally far beyond the intelligence level of the average reporter.
Mudslinging is for the lazy and laziness is going to hand the White House to Obama.
In other words, Hillary may be right, but she is losing badly politically. This strategy just won’t work. Why is McCain shouting “inexperienced” any better of an attack than her Heinous?
Some guy from a focus group on Fox said he seemed ‘presidential’. To me, he’s more suited to be a game show host than the President of the United States.
Well stated! Game Show Host is Obama!
Well stated! Game Show Host is Obama!
Don’t let him pull the Woolery over your eyes.
If indeed liberalism is a mental disorder, then both Obama and Hillary are unsuited to take on the job of President of the USA. Unfortunately McCain fits right in there too, with his disordered approach in believing the global warming fraud and supporting suicidal open borders.
Where does that leave us?
Granted(with McCain as our nominee), it's a hollow victory... but it saves the nation and our military from long-term, Clinton treachery.
... which makes him more appealing to the voters who perceive that govenment, especially in DC, is broken and corrupt.
Obama will probably become just as corrupt, given time, but he is currently perceived as the outsider to many voters, and therefore more likely to take the country in a different direction. McCain and Hillary are poster children geezers for what's wrong with the country, i.e. career politicians.
Hey James, what experience does Hillary have ?
Me old grandma used to say, “Hope in one hand, xxxx in the other, which one fills up first?”
The old broad really knew wtf she was talkin’ about!
“Where does that leave us?”
Farked
Come on, now. As the liberals’ messiah, that’s all the experience he needs.
Rumsfeld and Cheney ran multi-billion dollar companies! I’d say that takes some experience.
And I would agree and the public would too. But these two "experienced" gentleman have approval ratings that are about as low as you can go. Ergo, experience is not necessarily something that is good for the country. That was my point.
So you are not confused, I am not saying that I agree with this, but rather this is how Obama is twisting the logic. And it is working. So if McCain goes this route in attacking Obama it won't work for him as it is not working for her Heinous.
He reminds me of a big eared Montel

I think your precious Grandma and my Dad must have gone to the same school. It was called Hard Knocks!!!

Politics is the only profession where amateurs do better than professionals—professional politicians invariably become sclerotic and corrupt.
