Barack Hussein Obama has NO executive experience!

So, I say we give him four, no, eight years, beginning next January.

And, our unconditional support, beginning today.

Who's with me?

3. Disappointed?

You were getting ready to send up the "old bat" signal over at CapitalHill for another ObamaBash thread, weren't you?

18. I dunno. Provocative, positive, unifying I hope.

A playfully provocative, almost misleading, subject line, followed by a positive message sans hyperbole.

A call to arms, if you like.

Very weird? I'll take it as a compliment.

21. Given the current administration's experience...

...it would seem to be an undesirable factor.

What did Barack say about too many years in congress, for example, something about "boiling all the hope out of you"?

Not that it refers to executive experience, but all the same.

5. McSame doesn't have any executive experience either.

All he knows is how to do deals with corporation lobbyists. Isn't that the only thing Congress does? Make deals with monopolies?

9. Commanding Officer of a training squadron ?

We like to think that's "executive experience" in the military. You need to reframe your argument so it doesn't piss off so many voters :hi:

10. The current administration had one of the most experienced

staffing's ever, cheney, rummy, wolfie, just to name a few. The only thing that experience did was show us all how addictive power is, and to what extremes the addicts will go to get it and keep it..

12. Cuz GWB was GUVNA with great exec experience and Cheney behind him !

GWB had exec experience. Crashed a company and was governor of Texas. And Cheney had tons of exec experience as head of Halliburton and look-- he brought us mega war profiteering! So gee, that's been such a big help so far.

And John Sidney McCain III has been a senator for years and years. And has to help Cindy manage seven homes.

22. Wexler was on Colbert last night in a rerun.

I liked how he responded to the "he's a liberal, right?" question.

"He transcends labels".....I agree.

20. Sorry, wrong line

and I do hope the campaign does not use it.

Just because Cheney and Rumsfeld screwed up royally does not mean that the Presidency is a training field.

There are many points that we can use to convince others that Obama is the right choice - if nothing else, just look how tired and old McCain appears - but lack of executive experience should not be one of them, certainly not this week with the news from Iran.

25. This cartoon inspired my post:

"He has no experience being president."

Right you are, it's not a useful campaigning point.

24. unconditional support is for cowardly, passive follower types

commonly known as SHEEPLE. you should give support to a point but always voice your concerns, too. all sleazy politicians hope and pray that more and more people will be like what you call for so they don't have to suffer backlash or repercussion for their disgusting behavior.

26. No, it's for people who want to win. Now is not the time to tear him up...

First we win, then we bitch, loudly.

And of course we can quietly lobby him through his website and in other, less public, ways.

It's about subtlety.
