So he does have executive experience. I hope he continues to trot this beauty out.

Obama tells CNN's Anderson Cooper on "360" that running his campaign counts as executive experience. - Lynn Sweet

COOPER: And, Senator Obama, my final question -- your -- some of your Republican critics have said you don't have the experience to handle a situation like this. They in fact have said that Governor Palin has more executive experience, as mayor of a small town and as governor of a big state of Alaska.

What's your response?

OBAMA: Well, you know, my understanding is, is that Governor Palin's town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We have got 2,500 in this campaign. I think their budget is maybe $12 million a year.
You know, we have a budget of about three times that just for the month.

So, I think that our ability to manage large systems and to execute, I think, has been made clear over the last couple of years

And I thought a campaign manager ran a campaign. Talk about spin!

so let's see:

1) he is finally getting to the level of a small town mayor in Alaska in terms of experience

2) he had to actually run for President to get executive exp

I am so divided on what I want to watch tonight... Skins vs Giants... Obama on Oreilly... or McCain...

I think I will dvr Oreilly, and switch over to McCain after the Skins lead 48-0 at halftime

WOW

what an amazingly stupid response.

a) he points out to everyone in american what kind of insane money he is spending on this and b) it's ridiculous to imply he has ANYTHING to do with managing those people.

This is the best executive experience he can come up with?

is there any doubt that it is the only executive experience he has.

I wouldn't even consider turning my company over to the man, much less our nation.

It's right up there with saying Palin has foreign policy experience because Alaska is the closest state to Russia. She was skewered for that - he should be skewered for this.

Yep...this is it. And she's been CEO of Alaska for exactly as long as he's been "managing" his campaign.


It's still hilarious to me that Obama and the dems are desperately trying to justify his experience as compared to Palin's. It only magnifies that his leadership experience falls woefully short of John McCain's.

It's got to be confounding to the Dems since they swore experience had to be off the table with this pick. Actually, the pick reveals how little experience BO has.

Misunderestimated once again.

The simple fact he is being compared to Palin makes this a loss for Obama. Anytime the top of the ticket (Obama) is being compared to the bottom of the other ticket means it's a losing comparison for Obama.

Explain to me how Obama is a bad candidate because he doesn't have "executive experience" as a U.S. Senator but McCain is a good candidate when his experience is as a U.S. Senator too? Oh I forgot, that's different because McCain is a Repubican, so then it's ok.

Yeah BO should of picked Erica Kane as his running mate! She is a hell of an executive!

Perhaps it's McCain's leadership in battle that seperates the two.

It's the fact that BO's team is belittling Palin's experience while having none themselves that is significant. If Senatorial service and campaigning count then McCain trounces BO in experience.

It was a dumb statement by BO

Exactly. Personally I don't consider "experience" all that important for a president. A good president surrounds himself with experience and is smart enough to know when and when not to listen to his subordinates. No one man can be expected to know enough to run the presidency by himself.

Right.

You denigrade the Democrat nominee because he's a U.S. Senator, but what is the Republican nominee? A U.S. Senator.

Can you guys be any more of a hypocrite on this?

You realize Obama hasn't been a senator for very long at all right? he's probably spent more time campaigning for president than he has being a senator.

Again...it's not the fact that Obama is currently a senator. It's the total lack of leadership and executive experience.

Other than a brief stint as a senator, Obama has done nothing more than attend an ivy league school and author a couple of books about himself.

I have never denigraded anyone in my entire life.

Second, it's the fact that Obama has no other experience whatsoever and has used his time in Senate as nothing more than a campaign base. His constitutional scholarship has been put to absolutely 0 use in a body where it should have some value.

Could you have less understanding of the relative experience of the set of candidates?

That doesn't matter because Obama went to Harvard. That's all it takes to impress Oklavol.
