Experience doesn''''t matter?! Would you let a 1st year med student perform brain surgery?

I would certainly consider it if the only other option was an angry, insecure, jealous and petty old man with little self control, who demonstrates on a daily basis that he is a few cards short of a full deck.

Experience. There are only 4 people alive with any experience as President of the United States. 3 of them aren''t eligible to run.

That means that of all possible eligible candidates for President, only Jimmy Carter has any experience.

The only person with experience for the presidents office is a president running for re-election.
Experience as a politician ... hmmm ... Bush was an experienced politician, what has that experience given us the 7.5 years?

[babooph]

Both are good guys-too bad they have to lie like hell to get elected-after one gets in,big modifications on campaign trash will come out.

Wow. I was going to comment on some of this in here. But then the more I read, the more I realized there were so few here with enough inteligence to comprehend it.
But I''ll try:
1: The conservatives will lose this election: Of course they will, they don''t have a horse in the race. McCain is no conservative.
2: Bush is the worst president ever: No, Carter was. Clinton ties with Bush for the second worst.
3: Obama will lead us from the desert into the promised land: Nope. Sorry, but he''s a Chicago politician, as crooked as the rest from there. Those guys can teach a senator a thing or two about being corrupt.
4: McCain will lead us to the promised land: Uh, no. He will be just like Bush, drop his veto pen on the floor, and be unable to find it for four years. You can''t be a leader if you sign everthing they send your way. A trained monkey with a rubber stamp could have done as well.
5: It''s gotten so bad it''s getting funny. You are here tearing into each other''s party, acting like it''s one party against another. It''s not. It''s the average American against those in D.C. That''s important! As long as we fight about all this, they can do anything they want. Don''t you realise BOTH parties made this mess? An YOU let them? Sad, really, how you line up so neatly like sheep waiting to be sheared..

McCain has had too much "experience." He has never had a real job, he has been in Washington forever. He has been in Washington, supporting Bush''s failed policies since 2000. He is still promoting Bush''s failed policies, and I really think his focus on the surge and Iraq has become a little obsessive and scary.
As the article stated, Obama may not have as much "experience" but I definately think it is enough.

let me shout again.afterall my MIC is on


THE EXPERIENCE CRY IS A LOAD OF YOU KNOW WHAT ,

ANY NEW PRESIDENT IS INEXPERIENCE,

ITS ALL ABOUT HAVING THE BEST PLATFORM/ISSUES TO OFFER THE AMERICAN PEOPLE .

Universal healthcare = barack yes , mcCain NO

money given to states to creat jobs = barack YES McCain NO.

Money to states to builds and fix the school system Barack YES mCcain NO


Money to states to build and fix roads and bridges, barack YES Mccain NO.

money to cover the environment, you can always count on the democrats to deliver that.

EVERY PRESIDENTS ARE SURROUNDED BY EXPERTS AND AIDE, WITH ALL THE ANSWERS; ITS UP TO THE PRESIDENT TO MAKE THE CALL.

MCCAIN IS A HACK POLITICAN THAT FINISH AT THE BOTTOM OF THE NAVAL ACADEMY, HE IS NOT EDUCATED TO RUN FOR ANY POSITION ON WALL STREET, MUCH LESS THE OVAL OFFICE .

HE THINKS THE OVAL OFFICE IS SOME SORT OF ARMY OUTPOST , THE NERVE OF HIM TO CALL SOMEONE OUT ON EXPERIENCE.

The Bush people tried to scare us, but now I''m really scared that someone as incompetent and unqualified as Obama might get beyond pretending to be president and actually become one.

[babooph]

Both are good guys-Bush on the other hand had to have the propaganda system hide his lowgrade abilities& character.The higher up the pole the monkey went,the more they hid his butt.

[mswolfestock]

McSame claims that a health-care system for all Americans would be "too expensive."

I''m disturbed that he can''t do simple math and figure out that we''d have plenty of money for everything if he would stop the war in Iraq. And putting a halt to tax breaks for the already filthy rich would be the frosting on the cake.

But NOOOOOOO - McBushit doesn''t get it and he never will.

He''s a doddering old fool who callously dumped his first wife after she was badly hurt in a car accident while he was a POW. This speaks volumes RE: his lack of decency and loyalty. The only loyalty he has is to his old outdated ideas.

He''s gonna run this country into the ground - he will be worse than Bush.

I''d just as soon bring Richard Nixon back from the dead . . . . .

[veteran188]

mcSame''s experience is in destroying the United States

[veteran188]

McSame plans to run the country exactly like Bush does,

he has states so, he also applauds the McBush economic policy, whatevr thats means , bush obviously has no plans for anything at all.

McSAME should be in prison not in the white house, but

than again so should Bush

[dmgenet]

Obviously no one cared when Bush was elected. I am hoping that the electorate are more astute this time. And the General was right. Being a POW does not singularly make you experienced for the Presidency. Nor does touring Europe.

It''s how they plan to run the country. Other than into the ground like Bush did.

[truthspeake2]

I have a better question...it seems pretty strange that no one has asked what has McSame done for his home state of Arizona. I''ve lived in Phoenix for the last 14 years and I can say "absolutely" nothing!

Unless you account for the liquor/beer distribution laws here which are spread out between ONLY three business entities, one of which coincidentally happens to be owned by his wife.

So, I guess he did actually accomplish something...

[veteran188]

Obama is the only choice this time

unles you actually want more of the same,

but if you do you are as UnAmerican as he is

[hungry1968]

Did anyone ever stop to think, that if you don''t FABRICATE WARS, that you don''t need to be a good "commander-in-chief"?

There''s NO QUESTION that right now, we need someone that is willing to focus on AMERICA''S domestic problems - energy, immigration, economy, etc - those are problems that McCain just CANNOT comprehend.
