Yesterday, the Washington Post came out with a helpful article by Michael Kinsley, clarifying just what the term "experience" means and what kinds of experiences are essential for a potential President of the United States.

Some excerpts:
Thanks Sheriff,

I think we will still have to agree to disagree.

I have read the excerpt and I agree that Obama can bring some different social perspectives with him. My criticism is not with Obama specifically but with many of the leading candidates, including Hillary. There still is no substitute for having managerial experience with proven sucess under pressure for a leadership position this important. I want a proven leader for President.

Am I the only one who thinks it's sad that the Political parties can't find people with both managerial leadership experience and great vision? These people have to exist.
