I am Tired of Reading and Hearing About Obama's Inexperience, I am Also Tire of It In Regards to Vice President Nominee Palin.

Let's assume both are inexperienced. The next question is, "How detrimental is it?" Doesn't this ignore the fact a president appoints cabinet members and advisors? Does this not ignore the fact a president surrounds himself with men and women who have the requisite expertise to advise him and thereby permit him to have the level of knowledge on a subject? Does this not ignore the fact a president surrounds himself with men and women to assist him in making a wise decision, men and women who have more wisdom in some areas, in regards to some issues?

Isn't this what FDR did when he took office, in what has been characterized as the "Brain Trust?" Look, Obama may be inexperienced, along with Palin, but are we perhaps making this a GREATER issue than it needs to be?

FDR was a political bully, there is no denying that. You know what made him great? He was great because he was able to let go of running the military and let George Marshall work his magic!

FDR was a lot of ways like Lincoln. Lincoln fought the Civil War from a desk until Grant came.

Furthemore it was mentioned in a previous thread that she lacks foreign policy experience. So did every other governor who had been elected President.

Why is it a problem now?

Thoughts?

the foreign policy is the least of my worries. it's the fact that hussein obama is going to tax the hell out of this country.

he's going tax every type of investment, large corporations, small companies, basically he's going to tax the crap out of every company that my 401k, IRA, and son's college fund has invested in.

i'm more worried about his inexperience in managing the country's finances, he's never had to work a budget. he doesn't understand supply and demand. he just wants to tax and create welfare programs after welfare programs. that is scarier than wanting to sit down and make love with iran and russia.

check out this article in the WSJ. it's pretty interesting.

This is why McCain's choice of Sarah Palin is so ridiculous. It was a reckless and downright cynical choice. Obama's pick (whether you agree with Biden or not) cannot be viewed the same way.

Why is it ridiculous? If that's the case then would you say the liberals choice in Obama is ridiculous as well?

It is silly to think one person makes a difference with regards to foreign policy.

You honestly believe that Joe Biden is the final stop with regards to foreign policy?

Foreign policy will always be a team effort.

So, in your opinion, a governor should never hold the office of President?

For me, it's a matter of policy positions and McCain is far > than Obama here.

hey NOTVERY, biden does has 30+ years in foreign policy experience. do you know what his record is when it come to foreign policy? he's been wrong since almost everytime. he was against Reagan's military build up during he cold war and constantly went against Reagan during the cold war. HOW BRILLIANT WAS THAT?

he was against giving contra aid to rebels that were fighting communist, he voted against the 1st gulf war, AGAIN, HOW BRILLIANT WAS THAT.

he did vote for the 2nd war but was against the surge. in other words, if the guy was a vegas bookie, he would have been broke and fired for his horrible predictions.

so yeah, he does have a long track records of being wrong, imagine if American politicians went with him during the cold war and 1st gulf war. our country would be in a giagantic mess

Which is how it is supposed to be........

How many VP's have been attacked in this manner?

Leaking her social security number, etc.

Palin is a major threat to Obama....... there is no way around it. The democratic political machine is literally trying to destroy her. It is up to her to handle the pressure.

You're missing the point. Those unqualified governors were elected at the top of the ticket. The voters made those decisions and in all the most recent history those governors were backed up with veeps that also had foreign policy experience (exception Algore).

This is really about McCain's first executive decision as his party's presidential nominee to choose a running mate who has zero foreign policy experience. It was his decision and he chose Sarah Palin. What does that say about his judgment? He had plenty of people to choose from and he chose Sarah Palin!!

1.) What do you consider recent history?

2.) He did exactly what he had to do. He has to prove to the country that he is not the third term of Bush. Palin accomplishes this task because any one else would have been considered out of the good ol' boy network.

Sure. Maybe it is, but the liberals actually chose Obama. The same cannot be said of Sarah Palin. When it came time for John McCain to chose who he would have step in for him in an emergency, he chose a no-name governor with less than two years experience as the governor of one of the smallest states in the union.

so having a VP w/ little experience is actually worse than having a President with little experience. hmmm....that sounds stupid

McCain has plenty of foreign policy experience, his opponent does not, it is his strong suit so he does not need to bolster his position.

And liberals chose a man with zero experience in running even a city.

So if you are saying McCain's decision making is weak, should we say the entire Democratic Party has poor decision making?

Is foreign policy all that matters? I don't recall hearing one word last night about the economy or what their plans are to do anything about it. Oops...I forgot, the republicans don't think the economy needs fixing.
