Yeah, Liberal Democrats keep saying that Obama's lack of experience is not an important issue.

Well, next time you get on a 747, and you discover that the pilot only has a couple of hours flying experience........

This is not the same thing. Obama has more than a couple of hour's experience. Palin's only experience is being a mothe of 5, a sport's mom and the Governor of Alaska. Do you think she is ready t be Pres of the US if something happens to McCain? I am not Rep or a Dem, I am Independent. President Lincoln had about as much experience as Obama or so it is said.

For what it is worth, I view Palin's executive experience as far greater than Obama's. She has been in charge of an entire town and now is in charge of making executive decisions that effect an entire state. What has Obama ever been in charge of. Check his voting record. When a crucial vote came up he either just said "present" (which means he is not committing himself) or he is conveniently absent that day. The fact is that Obama has had roughly 143 days that his voice could have made a difference and he did basically nothing. McCain, right or wrong made his voice heard more times than not and Palin has held executive office far longer than that.

I am not saying this qualifies her to be POTUS, But she, in terms of executive experience, is much closer to being qualified than Obama.

Should Obama be elected he may turn out to be on of the best POTUS we have ever had. Or, he may turn out to be a big gamble that went bust. I for one am not willing to gamble with the safety and security of our country.
