New Approach to Obama's EXPERIENCE Issue [View All]

[musicblind]

Look I live the experience threads... but here is how it goes regarding Obama’s “experience”.

Community Organizer: Great, but he’s not running for head of the boy scouts.

Lawyer: Great but he’s not running for head of a law firm.

State Senator: I have been to my state senate and I have been to the Senate in Washington DC. These two things do not compare. It would be like owning and managing a local McDonald’s and then claiming that you have the experience to become McDonald’s CEO.

Senator: That is pretty good experience. It is as good experience as you are going to get in the legislative branch. I am impressed by this. However, this is also experience held by both Clinton and Edwards.

I have a great resume in entertainment, it doesn’t mean I am qualified to run Warner Bros. The experience needs to be specific to the job you are applying for.

Obama has a lot of experience doing things that do not qualify him to be president. I know, I know … you will just come back with some snide remark saying something along the lines of “Like the experience of voting for the war” because you don’t want to take the time to think of an intelligent answer so that we can have a civil discussion… but if you ACTUALLY want to turn people in favor of Obama, stop pretending he has experience when he does not and say the dirty truth… experience doesn’t matter that much. An Obama supporter recently explained it to me (and this made me think)… The explanation went: while Obama does not have experience it does not matter. It is about Obama’s judgment. That is what matters. Experience isn’t that important because presidents SURROUND themselves with advisors and experts in every field. They will maintain the experience factor for him; they will provide all information he needs. Obama needs to make judgments, and he is the best at making judgments out of all the candidates. Look at how he made good judgments regarding the war in Iraq.

So, as of right now, I still support Hillary. BUT this Obama supporter made an EXCELLENT point and I have to say, I kinda agree. If you would prefer me to support your candidate then the best to do this is not to belittle me or my candidate. Instead, start a kind civil discussion about your candidate and I will gladly listen.

That is the road that Obama supporters need to take if they really want to win this argument. They are not going to win it by trying to pretend that being a state senator, or a lawyer, or a community organizers compares to being THE FIRST LADY OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA for 8 years and seeing first hand how the white house is run.

It is possible for Obama’s team to win this argument. It just takes a new approach.

Thanks :)
