I don't get how conservatives can criticise Obama for being inexperienced and then defend Palin by saying some of the greatest presidents in history (such as Teddy Roosevelt) had very little experience also. McCain centred his campaign around experience. Now that he has a running mate, his campaign is centred around change. And conservatives have the nerve to call Barack Obama a flip-flopper. Either experience matters or it doesn't. Make up your mind.

The truth is that Palin is much more experienced than Obama is.

Teddy Roosevelt before being President:
a state legislator
a cowboy and ranch owner
a civil service commissioner
the New York Police Commissioner
Assistant Secretary of the Navy
Governor of the State of New York.

To say nothing of being a (volunteer) war hero.

I personally don't see lack of experience as a negative anyway. Our founding fathers never intended for our nation to be run by career politicians. You were to serve your time, then go back to your private life. Not climb your way up the political corporate ladder.

My heroes have always been cowboys.
And they still are, it seems.
Sadly, in search of, but one step in back of,
Themselves and their slow-movin' dreams.

Wow, liberals are so bitter. They can't stand the thought of a lighthearted thread and have to bring their gloom here as well.
No wonder studies show liberals to be less happy in life than conservatives.

Was he talking about Palin? Is that the answer?
Are we even supposed to be guessing on this? I guess I'm confused about the purpose of this thread given the prior posts.

I didn't listen to Rush Bimbo today. I gather he was trying to challenge his faithful ditto heads with a pop quiz.

That is a silly post IMO. Would Apple replace Steve Jobs with someone who has little to no experience? That may sound silly, but so does getting someone with little to no experience to run a super-power nation and one of the greatest countries in the free world.
Short and sweet, many people want to vote for Obama simply because he is black and they believe that voting for him will atone for the sins of their fathers.

I've found the red hand very useful recently! some folks just seem to want controversy rather than discussion... so they can "talk to the (red) hand"! LOL

It isn't very hard to look up TR's bio before writing that he was inexperienced, which is entirely not true.
Experience does matter, but there is no recipe for finding a good president. Let's face it, both Obama and Palin are inexperienced.

Sophie: the answer is Teddy Roosevelt. It was just a lighthearted comparison between a man who was president and Gov. Palin who has many of the same qualifications.

Ok, kinda explains the instant defensiveness by some on the left then, eh?

This is the same Teddy Roosevelt that advocated removing "In God We Trust" from our currency. He also left the GOP and ran a third party presidential bid (Progressive or Bull Moose Party). So, perhaps we can look forward to Gov. Palin's progressive ideas.
Platform of the Bull Moose Party: True to Roosevelt's progressive beliefs, the platform of the party called for major reforms including women's suffrage, social welfare assistance for women and children, and worker's compensation. The party also wanted an easier method to amend the constitution.

Well, yes, but this is a little bit of misdirection - instead Roosevelt felt the motto should be, "inscribed on our great national monuments, in our temples of justice, in our legislative halls, and in building such as those at West Point and Annapolis -- in short, wherever it will tend to arouse and inspire a lofty emotion in those who look thereon." - something I think the ACLU and it's ilk would have conniption fits over.
And who else might revive the 'Bull Moose' party but Sarah Palin - talk softly and carry a big moose gun after all.
