When the democrats bring up the issue of experience in regards to Gov. Palin being the Vice President, I just have to laugh because she is more experienced than Sen. Obama who is running for President. I love it though and hope they continue to talk about her experience because it will only help to highlight Sen. Obama's inexperience.
Enough of my opinions and lets get to the indisputable facts on this subject.
Ok, here it is, before Obama started his political career he was a community organizer in the south side of Chicago from 1985 to 1988. Afterwards he went to Harvard Law School where he became the first black President of The Harvard Law Review.
He began his political career as a State Senator from January 1997 until November 2004. Then he worked as United States Senator from January 4, 2005 until now. Although half of his time as a United States Senator has been spent campaigning for President. Now he is running for President. A Senator's job is to write and to vote on pieces of legislation. Now of course there is more to the job than that, but they are not in charge of or oversee any kind of budget. He did pass an important piece of legislation during his tenure as State Senator and that is a bill to reform ethics and the health care.
That is a quick overview.
Sarah Palin was the head of the PTA before beginning her political career. Sarah began her career by running for city council of Wasilla and then serving there from 1992 until 1995. Then in 1996 she ran and became the Mayor of that same town of Wasilla from 1996 until 2002. She then ran unsuccessfully for the Lieutenant Governor of Alaska. Then she was appointed to the Alaska Oil and Gas Conservation Commission where she served as the Ethics Supervisor from 2003 until January 2004 in which she resigned because of corruption. Afterwards she took on the same corrupt powers in a bid for the Governor of Alaska and won. Sarah has been Governor from 2006 until now.
So by just a quick look at the facts, Gov. Palin has 16 years of political experience to Sen. Obama's 9 years. Palin has run budgets and Obama has not. Palin has been in charge of state employee's and Obama has not. Sarah has been the Commander and Chief of the Alaskan National Guard and Obama has not. The list goes on and on and on and on.
The funniest thing is Obama is not even running against Palin! He's running against McCain who has 100X Obama's experience!!!!
