Reply #28: Better bone up on your Lincoln history [View All]

[TheDoorbellRang]

Lincoln served 8 years as a rep in Illinois and 2 years -- that's TWO YEARS -- in D.C. as a rep from Illinois. Total 10 years political experience. He hadn't been in political office for 10 years when he decided to run for president.

Then there's our two candidates:

Obama's served 8 years in the Illinois senate and will have served 4 years in the United States Senate by the end of this year. Let's say 11+ years as an elected politician.

Hillary will have served 8 years in the United States Senate by the end of this year. So let's say for her 7+ years.

I am so amused by her "I've got the experience" claim. Try putting your spouse's creds on your resume sometime and see how far that gets you.
