Experience only He can believe in

I just heard this on the radio and had to pass it along. Barack Obama just came out with the big difference in his lack of experience versus GOV. Sarah Palin's perceived lack of experience. Check out his statement:

“Well, my understanding is that Governor Palin’s town of Wasilla has, I think, 50 employees. We’ve 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.”

Now, I am a fan of comedy and this statement is filled with great comedic value. First of all why is the Candidate of change trying his best to show his experience over the VICE-Presidential pick of the GOP? Doesn't he know that he is running against John McCain? Or are he and the rest of his left-wing cronies so scared to death of the Governor of the great state of Alaska that the feel they have to try their best to belittle a great VP pick by Sen. McCain. Way to take your eyes of the prize Barry. Second, do you notice that there is no mention of the fact that she actually ran, and is running, a STATE. A state which by the way has a very significant role in our countries energy interest. But, Sen. Obama feels no need to mention that part of Gov. Palin's EXECUTIVE qualifications. May be he thinks if he just doesn't mention it American will forget about that and actually buy into his nonsensical reasoning. Thirdly, staying with irrational reasoning, does this statement actually make sense to anyone else out there? Seriously, I want to know. Not so that I can berate you or anything, I would just like to know how a man as smart as Barack Obama could buy into such unsound judgment as to think his presidential candidacy in any way compares to Gov. Palin's holding the highest office in the state of Alaska!
See, this is why I could never get into politics. If any opponent of mine tried for one second to come at me or one of my supporters with such insane notions as these, I think I might have to correct the error of my opponent with such strong language as, "YOU IDIOT" or "ARE YOU INSANE" or "SERIOUSLY THIS GUY IS LEADING IN THE POLLS." But go ahead and tell me I am wrong. Please show me why this statement didn't deserve the response that it got from the McCain campaign.

“For Barack Obama to argue that he’s experienced enough to be president because he’s running for president is desperate circular logic and its laughable. It is a testament to Barack Obama’s inexperience and failing qualifications that he would stoop to passing off his candidacy as comparable to Governor Sarah Palin’s executive experience managing a budget of over $10 billion and more than 24,000 employees,” said spokesman Tucker Bounds.

There it is folks. Change you can believe in? Only if change means rejecting logic for made up perceptions. By the way my next post will be on "Why I believe in Unicorns". What that's a bad idea? You mean I just can't say that they are real and people believe me? Well I guess that's reason number two I shouldn't run for public office. Until next time....

Here's how I see this scenario playing out:
Obama: "allright staff I need to make a strong statement today since the GOP's convention gets started strong today. What do we have?"
Staffer: "well, your highness, this is the best we could come up with. And in the words of Shooter 'it's a real humdinger.'"
Obama: "awesome. Get me some air time while I practice saying this without laughing."

Jason,
Glad you pointed this out. You would think if he was going to ignore her experience as governor, he would have said "Mayor Palin..." The idiocy never ends.
She was excellent last night, so was Huck. I was even proud of Rudy, he left his gloves at home. Palin's speech was by far the most important and I think she nailed it. McCain's tonight is important, but I know what to expect from him. He is no BO when it comes to speaking eloquence, but he's got the grit and substance Barry only dreams of.

One commentator put it. "I'm qualified to be President because I'm running for President!"

Sorry JBaird didn't mean to leave you hanging out to dry like that but you did do a good job of restating a great point.
