So Palins time as Govenor and Mayor and on the PTA dont count..your hilarious!:laughing:

the main point i was making is that the president's i stated had LESS NATIONAL experience when taking office then obama has right now has nothing to do with state nor local level gov't as ive pointed out countless times now

[BoKnows]

can i ask one question if he cared about the usa and tried to do the right thing for this country and not further his burning desire to be president, don't you think his first major decision being the selection of a VP would have been better done instead of picking some women who is completely a slap in the face to the American intelligence? especially with the fact hes 72 and has had cancer 4 times now and knowing his selection at VP could very well be the president in the next 4 years

Now your starting to eat your own B.s the point you were making was the above!

Now your starting to eat your own B.s the point you were making was the above!

let me break it down for you

1. the post above was stating that if McCain put "country first" like he preaches to be then the first presidential decision being the pick of your VP should put "country first" and not your agenda and desire to be president first, as its quite obvious to anyone this lady can't talk her way out of a paper bag and was picked to attempt to pick up the disgruntled Hillary women and not because of her qualifications to be the second most powerful person in the world, and a heartbeat away from the most powerful person in the world

2. the other post comparing former good presidents national experience to obama and showing that those i stated had LESS NATIONAL experience when taking office then obama has right now


TWO whole different arenas of thought i was discussing

my opinions or views mean nothing here though as its quite obvious im too young, inexperienced, naive or whatever you guys want to call me but thats the beauty of this country and its original intention by our founding fathers, that im allowed my opinions and views and so are you, i don't try to change any of yours but when i post something i get made a mockery of as if im a dumb idiot its really ridiculous at the amount of bias against me and fish here were not trying to change anyones opinion but if we want to state our views don't laugh at us as we don't laugh at any of you even if we respectfully disagree with you

And my point was why is she less qualified than Obama...who is closer than a heartbeat from the seat as he is the nominee?It is kind of a wrap around argument....that you seem to be missing the boat on. She is every bit as qualified if not more than he is. He may be better talking his way out of a paper bag, but that is about it. So put your country first Dana and make the right choice!Oh wait your a lib and country first does not hold water..sorry bad argument on my part

In response to the 143 day post


George W. Bush: 6 years governor - less total experience, more major office experience
- Bill Clinton: 12 years governor - more
- George H.W. Bush: 8 years V.P., 4 years Congress, 6 years misc. Administration positions - more
- Ronald Reagan: 8 years governor - less total experience, more major office experience
- Jimmy Carter: 4 years governor, 4 years state Senate - comparable
- Gerald Ford: 1 year VP, 24 years in Congress (including 9 as Minority Leader) - more experience
- Richard Nixon: 8 years VP, 2 years Senate, 4 years Congress - more experience
- Lyndon Johnson: 2 years VP, 12 years Senate, 12 years Congress - more experience
- John Kennedy: 8 years Senate, 6 years Congress - more experience
- Dwight Eisenhower: No elected office experience, though some folks would argue that commanding the winning side of the largest war in history *might* count as relevant experience.


Obama is THE LEAST EXPERIENCED presidential candidate ever!!

8 years Illinois State Senate; 2 years in U.S. Senate (but spent less than 1 year there before began campaigning full-time)

Obama was only elected to the U.S. Senate because his opponent dropped out of the election due to a scandal. Obama sits on NO important Senate comittees; has NEVER drafted (or even helped to draft) any legislation; usually voted "present" the few times he did appear in the Senate chamber; has absolutely NO administrative experience in either the private or public sectors.

People say that Obama has "enthusiasm" and "vision" . THAT is what they said about Jimmy Carter and he almsot destroyed the nation, with inflation running at 16% per year and college loans available at 21% per year interest (if you could get them at all). Carter also said he was for "CHANGE:, but people failed to ask, "What kind of change, specifically?" And, "How do you specifically intend to implement that change?"

ill post the same thing i did in the other thread


let me add a few more presidents that had less national experience then obama does right now when taking office

1. Abraham Lincoln served 8 years in the Illinois legislature and one term in the U.S. House (1847-1849), a decade before becoming President. The rest of the time he was a lawyer in private practice

2. How about FDR who spent 4 yrs as a governor and 2 years in the NYS legislature before becoming president

3. how about Woodrow Wilson spent 2 years as governor of the state of NJ

and how about an example of a president who had a ton of national experience

1. James Buchanan who had 10+ years of experience in both the house and the senate you wouldn't rank him in your top 10 presidents of all time?

Dan... did you know FDR led us into WWII. Germany never attacked us; Japan did. From 1941-1945, 450,000 lives were lost....an average of 112,500/year.

[BIGBALLER]

Oh yeah got another Dan, Clinton went to war in Bosnia without UN or French consent. Bosnia never attacked us.

[BIGBALLER]

What about JFK who started the Vietnam conflict in 1962. Vietnam never attacked us.

i was stating their NATIONAL experience before becoming president what does leading us into WWII while being president have anything to do with his national experience prior to becoming president
