Re: Thoughts on Obama

Are there still nice people amongst us who think Obama is inexperienced? What if I prove you he is at least as experienced as not-any-longer-a-front-runner-Hillary-Clinton and others are just as I have made the skeptics see the dark sides of a polished, extremist, farthest-right wing, fundamentalist, racist and hateful ideology? Below is the link to one of the few scientific comparisons made between '08 candidates:

Diatribes of Jay: Barack Obama's "Inexperience"

Quote:
BarackObama.com | Sam Graham-Felsen's Blog: Obama: Leading Clinton, Beating Republicans Soundly
When Ronald Reagan was elected president, his political experience consisted of 8 years in state government, as governor of California. He had no national political experience or foreign policy experience.

When Jimmy Carter was elected president, his political experience, consisted of 8 years in the state legislature and 4 years as governor, for a total of 12. None of it involved national or foreign policy experience.

When W was elected president, his political experience consisted of 8 years as state governor. None of it involved national or foreign policy experience.

When Bill Clinton was elected president, his political experience consisted of 12 years, 2 as state attorney general and 10 as governor. None of it involved national or foreign policy experience.

When Barack is sworn in, he will have 12 years of experience in government, including 8 years in state government and 4 years in national government, during which he has served on the foreign relations committee. He has as many years or more years in public life than 4 of the last 5 presidents and more national and foreign policy experience than any of those 4 presidents, who had exactly none.

In the past 40 years, 4 presidents had more political experience than Barack:

Richard Nixon, who resigned in humiliation to avoid impeachment.

Lyndon Johnson, who essentially was forced out of office by his own party because of the Vietnam war.

George Ford, who served less than one full term and was defeated for reelection.

George H W Bush, who served one term and was defeated for reelection.

REIN OF THE CROWS HAS OFFICIALLY ENDED!!!
