Just saw this today and was shocked to think that Mr. Obama only has less than 6 months actual experience in the Senate. Wow.

I know I am responding for the wrong side and they surely do not need my help 
but 6 months experience in the Senate is 6 moths more than Bush had...
To the GOP: Can we run on issues?
"...6 months experience in the Senate is 6 moths more than Bush had..."
No it really isn't.
Believe me. I am no Bush supporter. Especially after nearly 8 years of incompetence and dishonesty, but the guy was a Governor. IMO being a governor is better experience for the presidency than experience in the Senate.
This thread really isn't about Bush. This thread was started because I was startled to learn that this guy has spent 143 days on the job since elected and now he thinks he is ready to run a country. That scares me...nearly as much as a Bush third term.
The Obama candidacy is based solely on perception. There is no beef.

My point was that if the
GOP expects to win they are going to have to highlight their policy diffs/core principles in order to get their base to vote and enough moderates to make a difference...
The democrats who would vote for Obama will vote for him regardless of experience or any other factor (and Bush just gave him a bump with their recent conversion to diplomacy)... On the otherhand the GOP base is not as ready to vote for McCain...

And talking of experience, how smart was it for Sen. McCain to challenge Obama to go to Iraq and now Obama has pulled off the international trip of the past 20 years!!! Of course his trip means nothing to me not to mention people in Eurpte can't vote, but still he will win some moderates on this...
Someone needs to show McCain how to campaign smartly...
Hmmm. Maybe I missed the point of the thread. I was under the impression it was about Obama's experience.
Is he our isn't he?
He has limited experience. Someone who was his age told me today he could not manage himself running a country because of his lack of life experience and for this reason he could not vote for Obama.
Heh.
For someone with such limited "experience," he seems to be listening to the majority of Americans better than the alternative "experience."
When polled, American citizens have ranked the following issues among the top three: the economy, the US military occupation of Iraq and health care. The majority of Americans have been saying for months that they believe this country is on the wrong track.
I haven't seen "experience" among the top issues most Americans are concerned with.
Anyone who wishes to become president had better make it clear how they will change the track we are on. What track is that?
Tax cuts for the weathy.
Jobs going overseas.
An economy in recession.
A declining dollar.
An increasing national debt financed by China.
Wasting tax money and young American lives in Iraq.
Medicare future in trouble.
Anyone who talks about "experience" and can't address the issues that are important to Americans is irrelevant.
Now here's the latest from the voice of "experience":
Asked by ABC's Diane Sawyer Monday morning whether the "the situation in Afghanistan in precarious and urgent," McCain responded:
"I think it's serious. . . . It's a serious situation, but there's a lot of things we need to do. We have a lot of work to do and I'm afraid it's a very hard struggle, particularly given the situation on the Iraq/Pakistan border," said McCain, R-Ariz., said on "Good Morning America."
Iraq and Pakistan do not share a border.
Heh.

Geez - so in fairness I suppose you were posting all over that hussein said that he had campaigned in 57 states and had 2 to go? No - I didn't think so. Haven't seen you mention any of the numerous gaffes from your guy. Wonder why?

Are you talking about the former president of Iraq or the former king of Jordan?
You do know that only little children make fun of the names of others, don't you, AW. This explains a lot about you.
