Since when did Barack Obama value experience so highly? Barack Obama’s campaign is blasting John McCain for putting “the former mayor of a town of 9,000 with zero foreign policy experience a heartbeat away from the presidency.”
The scathing description of Sarah Palin, from Obama spokesman Bill Burton, comes as Democrats scramble to gather a response to a selection that nobody in the political world expected.
“Governor Palin shares John McCain’s commitment to overturning Roe v. Wade, the agenda of Big Oil and continuing George Bush’s failed economic policies — that’s not the change we need, it’s just more of the same,” added Burton. What a desperate statement!
Here’s Barack Obama on his massive foreign-policy credentials:
To counter opponents’ accusations that he lacks experience in foreign policy, Senator Barack Obama of Illinois often cites his ties to relatives in poor villages in Kenya and the years he spent growing up in Indonesia. Now he has added a new personal detail to that résumé: a trip to Pakistan while a college student. Wow. So his mother took him to live in Indonesia when he was eight, and he took a trip in college.
Meanwhile, Palin has governed a state surrounded by foreign nations. Which has the practical experience in foreign policy and diplomacy?

BJ Clintoon and Jimmah Carter had ZERO experience in foreign policy.......and still don’t.....
When is the Obambi - Palin debate scheduled?
This has got to be the worst arguement ever, a nOOb at the top of one ticket complaining about a nOOb at the bottom of another ticket.
Being libtards, they’re already trying to compare Palin with Dan Quayle, forgetting that they were beat in a landslide that year, too.
Like VAMPIRES, the radical left RATS cannot see themselves in mirrors -— if they could see themselves, they would cringe in stark horror as they realize they accuse their opponents of being EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE.....
And history just keeps repeating itself...
Every time they talk about Palin’s experience, I am going to chuckle. Governor Palin’s teenaged kids have a bigger resume than Obama does.
Obama has never had a job. He has never worked a day in his life. And he is running against John Freaking McCain, jet pilot, war-prisoner, senator for the last 150 years, John McCain.
This is getting more delicious by the minute.
In addition, Sarah's experience is all-American, pro-American, and proud American experience. Whereas Obama's is militantly anti-American as a community organizer, working in the Saul Alinsky method (ie. marxist) of "community" orgainization.
This is just crackin’ me up! She has more “executive” experience than godbama and if she wants foreign experience she can get on a plane and tour Europe—just like he got his wealth of experience.
How does one get experience in foreign affairs?
Bill Clinton, as a governor, had experience only in domestic affairs, not foreign affairs. His inexperience may have hurt him as he failed to understand the threats overseas that led to Sept. 11th.
Ronald Reagan, let’s be intellectually honest, also had no experience in foreign affairs in elective office before becoming president. But he clearly understood the Soviet threat and worked against it in office, even though he didn’t have that experience before becoming president.
Are we saying that you have to have served in Washington in order to have the proper foreign affairs experience,otherwise you shouldn’t be a candidate for president or vice-president? Exactly what are we saying?
I for one am saying I love his choice of VP!
Right now, the Dems are in a state of panic, they’re not thinking clearly, so they’re floundering around trying to come up with an argument, any argument, that Palin was not a good choice. So they’re talking about her lack of experience. But very soon, a light-bulb will go off in their collective brains and they will realize that whenever they mention Palin’s supposed lack of experience, Mr. and Mrs. American voter will immediately think of Obama.
Sorry, Barak Hussien Obama, you and Bidin have a much foreign policy , as I do. now, B. Hussien O, what were you doing in Pakistan? I don't trust you, because you are a MARXIST piece of crap!
You gotta love the utterly absurd criticisms of Sarah Palin, they are far more revealing of the criticizers than the target. In one brilliantly simple move, McCain simply flips 3-4-5 tables on Obama, revitalizing Conservative interest; unquestionably reinforcing the Hillary-sour-grapes faction defection, and changes “Mr. Change” into “Mr. We Pick the Tired Old Goofball Party Hack Fart Because Maybe We Made a Mistake With This Hustler Punk Fronting our Parade”.
Love to see the ‘rats squirm.
All she has to do is drive about 50 miles and she'd be in Canada.
Are you giving them CREDIT - OF THINKING???

“”””I want to explicitly say up front that I don’t think Obama’s association with Ayers is a big deal. Obama’s a Chicago pol. Ayers is a Chicago pol of a sort too, someone who was accepted in Democratic circles there despite his past.”””””
Chris Reed from his liberal position at the San Diego Union can say that Ayers being accepted by the corrupt Chicago Democrats is no big deal to him.
However, to the American Public who has always known Chicago as a center of corrupt Democrat politicians it does matter.
I resent all this talk about Obambi having no foreign policy experience. It ignores the fact that he doesn’t have any domestic policy experience, either. Other than name a couple of post offices, what’s he ever done?
[town of 9,000]
If obamer doesn’t think much of small towns, what was he doing campaigning in Beaver Pa. with a population of 4,775?
