This is truly pathetic: "Barack Obama contends that he is more experienced in executive matters than Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin because he has managed his presidential campaign for the past 18 months." Not true. She's been a mayor and a governor, both executive positions. And Obama has NOT managed his own campaign. His campaign manager has done that. Seriously, is this all he has? Besides, Palin is only running for Vice President, while he's the one running for President with no executive experience. It would have been better for Obama to not have commented at all on this rather than to have said something so ridiculous.
Anybody supporting Obama -- let alone Obama himself -- has NO business criticizing Palin for lack of experience. I'm tired of experienced politicians running the show anyway. My beef with Obama is that he's a Marxist, and he hasn't gotten the memo that Marxism is a failure, not being based in reality.
I'm a little confused. Let me see if I have this straight.....
ReplyDelete* If you grow up in Hawaii, raised by your grandparents, you're 'exotic, different.'
* Grow up in Alaska eating mooseburgers, a quintessential American story.
* If your name is Barack you're a radical, unpatriotic Muslim.
* Name your kids Willow, Trig and Track, you're a maverick.
*Graduate from Harvard law School and you are unstable.
* Attend 5 different small colleges before graduating, you're well grounded.
* If you spend 3 years as a brilliant community organizer, become the
first black President of the Harvard Law Review, create a voter registration
drive that registers 150,000 new voters, spend 12 years as a Constitutional
Law professor, spend 8 years as a State Senator representing a district
with over 750,000 people, become chairman of the state Senate's Health and Human
Services committee, spend 4 years in the United States Senate representing a
state of 13 million people while sponsoring 131 bills and serving on
the Foreign Affairs, Environment and Public Works and Veteran's Affairs
committees, you don't have any real leadership experience.
* If your total resume is: local weather girl, 4 years on the city
council and 6 years as the mayor of a town with less than 7,000 people, 20 months
as the governor of a state with only 650,000 people, then you're qualified to
become the country's second highest ranking executive.
* If you have been married to the same woman for 19 years while
raising 2 beautiful daughters, all within Protestant churches, you're not a real Christian.
* If you cheated on your first wife with a rich heiress, and left your
disfigured wife and married the heiress the next month, you're a
Christian.
* If you teach responsible, age appropriate sex education, including
the proper use of birth control, you are eroding the fiber of society.
* If , while governor, you staunchly advocate abstinence only, with no
other option in sex education in your state's school system while your unwed
teen daughter ends up pregnant , you're very responsible.
* If your wife is a Harvard graduate laywer who gave up a position in
a prestigious law firm to work for the betterment of her inner city
community, then gave that up to raise a family, your family's values don't
represent America's.
* If you're husband is nicknamed 'First Dude', with at least one DWI
conviction and no college education, who didn't register to vote until age 25 and
once was a member of a group that advocated the secession of Alaska from the
USA, your family is extremely admirable.
OK, much clearer now.
Funny, I didn't say any of those things. I don't care about their respective stories. I care about their governing ideologies. On paper, Obama looks great; on paper, Sarah Palin, not so much. Though I will say that there is nothing "brilliant" about community organizing. If the Left hadn't done everything in their power to destroy the very communities he went in to "organize," they wouldn't have needed him or anyone to "organize" them. The point of my post is regarding executive experience. It was Obama who claimed that he had executive experience based on his running his own campaign, which is absurd on the face of it, especially wehn faced with actual executive experience of any kind. It only s=goes to show that he's ignorant of what "executive experience" actually is.
ReplyDeleteFinally, I'm not going to vote for either McCain or Obama anyway, so get over yourself. I find both candidates to be too far to the Left for me anyway.
